In CS6 InDesign (8.0.1) I tried looking for Folio Overlays panel and it doesn't appear...

In CS6 InDesign (8.0.1) I tried looking for Folio Overlays panel and it doesn't appear. So, I tried to go to Updates under Help menu but the Updates button is deactivated.
Any ideas?

Folio Overlays is available under the 'Window' Menu. If it is not available, download it manually, links are available in the following document: Digital Publishing Suite Help | Installing DPS tools

How do I create an interactive PDF file in InDesign CS6 with Folio Overlays?

I have been trying to export an interactive PDF file using InDesign CS6. It exports fine, and all the content works except for the Folio Overlays I created. I created two Folio Overlays (one Pan & Zoom and one Scrollable Frame). The overlays work if I preview them from the Folio Overlays panel, but they do not work on the PDF document.
I am using File >> Export... to create the PDF document, and I am sure the PDF document is of the interactive type and not the print type. Am I exporting it incorrectly? Is there a specific step that I have missed somewhere? Do I need to create a Folio Build to make the Folio Overlays work?
When I mouse over the Folio Overlays, I get the crosshair cursor which only selects part of the image when I click and drag it.

PDF is one thing. Folios for DPS is another. There is a little bit of
overlap but not much.
The interactivity in the folio overlays panel is for DPS only.

No Preview in Folio Overlays panel

When I click Preview in the Folio Overlays panel, nothing happens. The screen tip says the Adobe Viewer application must be open in the foreground, but I can only find the viewer for the iPad, not for the iMac.
I have the box version of InDesign CS6 installed; I also have the Creative Cloud, and am on Mac OSX 10.8.3. (I didn’t uninstall the box version and reinstall the cloud version.)
How can I get the Viewer to work in my iMac? I don’t see it in my Applications folder; I don’t see it as a separate download at Creative Cloud, and I don’t see it as an app except for the iPad.

Missing web content options and Preview in Folio Overlay panel

Hello,
After placing a .oam file into a folio and while it is selected, when I click on the Folio Overlays panel, the web content listing options do not show up at all. Nor is the Preview option available. I saw and used them before when I was working through the tutorial. I sure hope it is something simple I overlooked!
Thanks,
Sarah

That looks strange. With the .oam container frame selected you should see the web content overlay
Try:
Close and re-open the overlay panel
Quit InDesign and relaunch to try again
Else, try re-installing the DPS tools here Digital Publishing Suite Help | Installing DPS tools

Folio Overlays Panel not working

Update: When I switch to the Digital Publishing Workspace I can open the Folio Overlays panel, but there is nothing in it. Do you need a full DPS subscription in order to access these features? I was under the impression you only needed the full subscription if you wanted to publish to the app store.
Nothing happens when I try to open the folio overlays panel from the Window menu. Any idea why? I tried resetting the InDesign preferences, but it doesn't seem to have helped. Running CS6, fully updated, Windows 7.

I have the same exact problem. I have Windows 7 and CS6 Creative Cloud installed (clean install; no older CS installed). I downloaded the DPS Tools for Windows and installed it. Still nothing appears in the Folio Builder panel. I also cannot get the Folio Overlay Panel to appear either. I got the Folio Overlay panel to appear by resetting the Digital Publishing workspace in the upper right dropdown menu. If I try to set-up a folio from scratch, I cannot get it to create a document. (New > Folio... nada). So it appears that anything folio related is disabled.
I have the Creative Cloud subscription, which has DPS Single Edition. So I should be able to create folios no problem.
I am running this on my Mac Pro as well and that works just fine. I make sure to close ID on the machine I am not using to make sure there are no CC licensing issues. So it appears to be only a Windows issue.
Am I missing something? Hopefully some answers here soon.

Folio Overlays Panel shows no options

I've placed interactive content in my documents, I've built the folio with all of the my articles and uploaded to the cloud, tested on my ipad etc.
For some reason, when I click on the interactive content (video, sliding content, etc.) in Indesign and then go to the Folio Overlays panel and select the relevant item (Audio & Video) I get no options, just instructions to "Place an audio or video file and select it..."
It's the same for each item I've placed—just instructions and no options.
Has anyone else experienced this and figured out how to fix it?
Thanks

This would happen with placed images but when place a mp4 video or mp3 file indesign recognize them as interactive elements on the folio overlay.
Ok lets break it down. For slideshows images have to be stacked in one MSO. For the rest of the folio overlays try to place them in box ( frame ).

Sign in with indesign CS6 in folio builder panel

hi! I can't sign in with indesign CS6 in folio builder panel. what can a i do?? I can sign in from adobe web page, but not from indesign, and the option "updates" from "Help" menu is deactivated

I found one way to fix it:
- quit all CS6 apps
- if in OSX force quit the CS6ServiceManager via Activity Monitor app
- go to the User Library (hold down option key while accessing the Go menu) and find these:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CS6ServiceManager/preference/csxs3.pref - move this file out to desktop
Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/opm.db - move this file out to desktop
zip these up and delete the original, you now have inaccessible copies to put back just in case but have found this unnecessary.
- Restart Indesign and log in should now hold.
Found this started to happen after updating to 10.9.2, on a number of our designers machines.

Preview on device from folio overlays panel is fuzzy

I'm new to DPS so I'm sure there's a setting somewhere that I haven't checked, but why is the text fuzzy on my iPad when I preview my article? I have a retina iPad, my document is 1024x768, and I'm using the "Preview on XYZ iPad" function at the bottom of the Folio Overlay panel. What am I doing wrong? It looks fine if I preview the folio in the Folio Builder panel--what's the difference?

When you click Preview at the bottom of the Overlays panel, you preview the layout, not the article or the folio. When you preview the layout, you get PNG or JPG image format, not PDF. For the best preview experience, use the Folio Builder panel to preview either the article or folio. That way, you use the image format of the articles. If your article uses PDF image format, it likely won't be fuzzy. And if you see something fuzzy when previewing, let us know, and we'll help you figure it out.

InDesign Crashes Opening Folio Builder Panel

While working on a publication, I will leave the Folio Builder panel to open a different one. Upon trying to reopen the builder panel so I can add my publication to the folio, InDesign crashes. Without fail, everytime. No matter what InDesign document I have open, it will crash. I have to force quit, reopen and add the document first thing. before begining work on another article.
Anyone know why?

I open Indesign and it automatically signs me into my dps acct.
I begin working on an article (using the different tools like object states, buttons, video)
all of those panels are in the same tool group as the folio builder so folio builder gets collapsed while using the other tools.
when it is time to update my article and i go to open the folio builder panel is when it freezes InDesign.
I don't have any exact steps to reproduce this because the other tools I use varies, but if the folio builder panel gets collapsed, InDesign freezes when I reopen it.

I am having trouble starting Indesign with the folio builder panel

Every time I start indesign and change my tools to the DPS tool set the folio builder pannel flickers and then disappears and then indesign shuts down.
I had some success deleting the preferences files but need a long term fix. Any thoughts?

Well yes, of course you are having trouble using MobileMe because MobileMe no longer exists and has not existed for the last 2 years at least.
MobileMe has been replaced by iCloud, so you will never be able to use MobileMe because it does not exist.
Also, I would suggest that you look more closely before you post, because you have posted this in an iPhone forum and this question has nothing to do with iPhones. You would get more help if you posted in the correct forum.

Endless Log-In Error : InDesign Folio Builder Panel

I updated my folio tools/panels to 1.1.9.0 and then accidentally entered in the wrong username and password in the InDesign Folio Builder Panel when I went to log back in. (The user name and password were from an DPS Professional Edition account which we suspended with Adobe to prevent billing while testing.)
The inDesign panel just endlessly cycles now. Wont give me the option to re-enter correct information. I've closed/re-opened the panel, deleted / reinstalled the panel & tools, and I've deleted my inDesign preferences, but every time upon application launch the folio builder panel just cycles as seen below. I'm stuck. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Try signing out of the CS Live widget in the upper right corner of InDesign, close the Folio Builder panel, and try again.

Folio Overlay is Missing! InDesign CC won't update..?

I am working in InDesign CC and want to create scrolling text in my pdf - for publishing on the iPad.
I have looked at various tutorials and they all call out "Folio Overlay" which seems to be missing from my Windows tab.
I was prompted to update, which I did - yet my problems still persisted. I was told by InDesign that I needed to update again, yet now when I go to update nothing happens.
I am not sure what the problem is... why can't I update? & where did my folio overlay button go?

Same thing happening to me. JUST downloaded new InDesign CC. Folio Overlay missing. In Fact, I cannot even sign into Folio Builder because it says it needs says "A software update is required to use Digital Publishing Suite. Please go to the Help menu and select Updates to get the required software." However, InDesign is completely up to day (I just downloaded it), the CC installer says it is up to date, AND there is NO "Updates" in the Help menu. I am not sure what 'Update" the Folio needs.

InDesign CS 6 Folio Builder crashing

Hello all,
I have a big problem with DPS tools for Adobe InDesign CS6 (CC) on Mac OS X Lion. Every time I start the Folio Builder or Folio Overlays panel it flickers 3 or 4 times and then the InDesign crashes. I have trashed the InDesign preferences and installed the latest patch for DPS tools without any improvement. Occasionaly the Folio Builder opens but then there are other issues (I've had 9 instances of the same file open at once with no way to close them - I close 3 or 4 and the same number of files opens again).
I hope u understand it is quite annoying since i'm trying to build my first folio for a very important client and for now it's been a nightmare. I'm even considering reverting back to ID CS5.5.
Please advise on further action.

Thank you in advance,
Matej

I've got the same problem here...
I installed InDesign 6 on Mac Snow Leopard system via the Adobe Application Manager and I'm using the Trial run for now.
After installation I updated all the components right away through the help menu in ID.
I also got InDesign 5.5 installed with the Digital Publishing Suite.
As soon as I click the Folio Overlays panel (docked or not docked) InDesign starts opening the same (so it seems) random file.
When I try to close one, another one opens, forcing me to force quit ID.
I allready tried the following solutions:
- downloading the DPS directly from the website instead of the Updates menu
Which gives me an error when trying to install: 'can not apply updates'
- I deleted the following preferences files and caches:
/Users/user name/Library/Preferences/ StageManager.<long_guid>/Local Store/
#SharedObjects
- Tried the Ptach file, but it's an .exe so can't use it
Any other options? Beacuse it's pretty useless like this...
Thanks a lot!

Cannot locate Folio Overlays or Adobe Content Viewer in Indesign

The problem first started when I was working in the digital publishing suite on an app in Indesign. First I could not preview the app on the desktop. There was nothing wrong with the articles or the folio rather it would load the articles and then just not do anything. I tried updating Adobe and then I couldn't even find my Overlays panel which I had just used before updating. To top things off now my folio producer is not working because it says that a software update is required to use Digital Publishing Suite.

Moved to DPS forum. What version of InDesign? What platform?
