Indesign folio on a PC...

Hi all,
First question I have has already been addressed but that was a year ago.
I'm using InDesign on a PC and try to make a folio app for the iPhone. I can preview it in the dektopviewer but not my connected device. The popup -when you hover over the preview button- reminds you that you have to connect a device. You also need Adobe viewer up and running on that device. The computer recognize the device but not InDesign??
Again, I'm using an iPhone -that is my target- and not an iPad or android. Can that be an issue?
Also, when I update my folio it doesn't seem to upload anything to the DSP folio producer or the Cloud server. There is nothing there. The license I have is Adobe CC. Obtained two days ago. Can there be a setup time?
Also, I have seen that the Mac version has the option: "Create App" in the fly out menu from the folio panel. I can't find this on the PC version.
PS. I it better to switch over to a Mac?
Thanks in advance for any answer.
Dan

DSP folio producer: Signed out and signed back in. That did the trick. (weird, I did this before)
No, iOS devices on the PC! Strange. You can use iTunes on a PC. Or is it a marketing thing. Forcing you to by a Mac.
Thank you.
Ps. Grap. Now I have to buy an Android phone. (and become one of the drone people. Ha, ha)
Update: strike the "grap' It does work with an iPhone. Ones you update your article to the "DSP folio producer", your folio automaticly shows up in the adobe viewer on your phone.This is a lot easier than connecting your phone with a cable to your computer. The downside is, you need a working internet connection.

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.

InDesign Folio Builder Passwort Limitation

Hi,
please do NOT move this to the DPS Threads as it is a InDesign Software Question/Problem. (only move it, if the programming folk doing the Folio Producer thing lives at DPS)
I have already started a thread in DPS Forums how to overcome the problem with DPS. http://forums.adobe.com/message/4854578#4854578
This is a InDesign Software Question/Issue
InDesign CS6 Windows (sorry) Version does limit my DPS Password to 6-12 digits.
InDesign/Folio Builder Version: current, all updates applied
Unfortunately, I use a 13 digits password (Let me say this: on one hand i am forced to make my passwords longer and more complex all over the web and on the other hand sofwtare programmers limit the number of digits i can enter).
The DPS server, in detail Adobe-IDs, perfectly allow to be > 12 digits.
- Is there any way to overcome this limitation?
I also post this with my heart full of hope that InDesign Folio Producer AddIn programming folk sees this or get informed about this issue and might loosen the limitation in the next patch and provide this tomorrow morning to me
cheers
p.s. changing the password does not solve my problem, it is more complex....i need to use that 13 digits pw on folio producer

Digital Publishing Suite is produced by an entirely different software team than InDesign. I don't believe that the dialog you're showing us (which I can't read because I don't speak German) has anything to do with InDesign.
And, even if it did, this forum is not a way to make a feature request. No product managers come here. This is a forum for users. I'd suggest the Adobe Feature Request form would be the best way to reach them.

Passwort-Limitation in InDesign Folio Builder

Hi,
I have created a DPS user that has a 13 Digit password (was is allowed to create when setting up the account). I have already created a Viewer-App and submittet it to the iTunes store that uses that account. The Viewer-App is already in Review and will also show and sell first folios within the next hours.
The Problem is: if I want to login with that user via CS6 Folio Builder, I am limited to 6-12 chars by the desktop software.
What I did:
- changed the password
- did all InDesign work
- changed it back to make the app work
=> success!
But for further actions, how can i overcome this in a reasonable way?
NO-Options:
- change the App with new password and wait another 7 days to get a review
Bad-Options i already figured out:
- Create Folios online using the correct user, others via InDesign and then Crosslink Articles into the folios
- wait the App to be Ready and selling, send a new app with new password, change password short before review and approval, as soon as approved works, meanwhile: no downloads
Well, let's say it this way: why the hell is InDesign Folio Builder limiting me? Is there a workaround on that level?
cheers

To complete this thread for all maybe experiencing a similar problem:
I am not sure if we are talking about the same thing. If I create the Viewer-App using DPS Viewer Builder, already on the first screen I am asked to enter
- a Titel-ID and a Password. The Help says: This password is used to login when folios for this app are published (I do not know the exact enhlish text as I have a german version)
For me, this seems very much as the Viewer App when DOWNLOADING folios signs into the Folio Distribution server @Adobe and gets the content.
My evidence:
- Viewer App showed In-App purchases, I could purchase
- but when starting the download, it was hanging forever. After changing the passwort, I could download the purchase
If course, already downloaded content stays available.
My biggest problem is the itunes Review timespan. I dare not to change anything in the app because that might reschedule another 7 days waiting. Just for "trying out" experiments, that is a hard decision to take.
So, i thought i can solve the problem like this:
- keep the (logical) Folio/App Account (with 13 digits) that owns the folio as it is and use another creative account (personal) to edit the folio.
- after giving access to tha personal account, that person can see the folios in InDesign Folio Builder
- BUT: even it is the SAME COMPUTER the Folio Builder says, that there is no InDesign Files for the folio. HELL!
I think is this was bootstrapped the wrong way, it is hard to navigate out again. Here's what we did:
- created a technical account, lets say "magazine@....."
- used that account to creare the Folio and Inesign files, did all editing with it
Because of the password problem, the idea is now, to use john@..... as the creative designer. How can John get access to the folios for editing (SAME COMPUTER)
Nevertheless: Adobe, please remove the 12 digits limitation in Folio Builder Login Screen if there is no hard need for it
cheers

Inserting a Fill-in Form inside InDesign Folio

Hello:
Did a search, so I trust this has not been asked/answered previously.
I am creating an InDesign document that I would like to embed a fill-in form that can be submitted back to me.
If anyone has seen the Clemson World folio that is free on iTunes, you will see a form embedded in one of the pages that asks for name, address, etc, etc. There is also a submit button, that then sends the form to a predesignated email.
I would like to add this type of form directly into my InDesign document and being a complete beginner, I have failed to understand how thus far. I developed a fill-in form in Acrobat X pro and then placed the form on my page, but there was no fill-in capability. Only a view of the form.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

DPS questions should be posted in the DPS forum. That said, the best bet would a web overlay that shows an online forum and allows user interaction.
Please post follow-ups in the DPS forum NOT HERE.

InDesign Folio Builder Sign-In Failure.

I was wondering if anyone else had a similar issue when trying to log in to their DPS account from the Folio Builder tab within InDesign. I have downloaded and installed the latest versions of updates for the Folio Builder and Producer and am running CS5.5 on a Windows XP PC.
Please, if anyone has any ideas. I already have an account with the DPS system and can login just fine through my browser.
Thank you.

Hi Bob,
My ID is working on Adobe portal.
my problem date since that upload. I download and install Folio Producer Tools.dmg + Folio_Panel.dmg at least 10 times but my panels do not work. I completely reinstall Indesign but still nothing.
My Folios do not appear in the panel. I can not connect to CS Live.

FLA to HTML5 invalid asset in InDesign Folio Builder?

Hi,
So basically im trying to create a magazine getting ready to publish on an iPad.
I know animations are not supported on Ipad devices/software, So I looked at Terry Whites tutorial on basically how to still add animation
to a publication. I followed all the steps he took, though after ive placed the HTML5 file in my Indesign document and attempt to publish it, it says invalid asset in the folio builder.
I do not know what I am doing wrong. I am using InDesign CS6.
All the HTML is, is a image file flying in from the right. It works when I open the HTML in my browser.
Yet doesnt work when I try to publish it in folio builder.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Thanks.

Hi,
My first step, I placed the image, went to Animations and picked 'fly in from the right'
I then clicked on the image > file > export
I then coverted the file using Wallaby, which converted successfully.
I went back to InDesign and created a new document and made a rectangle using the Rectangle frame tool.
Then went to Folio Overlays > Web Content > Inserted/Opened the HTML file.
Then I went to Folio Builder and Made a new folio
(I have been told to set the default format to PNG, I did try that and it still did not work) > Then I clicked OK.
I then added the opened InDesign file to the folio.
Then I clicked OK
It seems to always "get stuck" on Writing PNG.
Then I get this error.
Dont know what Im doing wrong, So hopefully you may be able to tell me and help.
Thank you!

InDesign Folio Error // Book

Hi,
We are running into very strange problem very frequently, very recently.
We have individual InDesign documents paginated as Chapters/Articles, and when we create PS or Export PDF, everything looks fine. Whereas, when we create InDesign Book (to create Book or Issue), and the exported PDF has wrong Folio numbers and Running headers. Especially, the source document is absolutely correct even after book is created. It seems to me, very unreliable to have such a PDF. ie., duplicate of page numbers are appearing in the PDF.
At some point we re-save the files as IDML, and it solves for some times but not all the time. Please advise how to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance.

You should be posting in the DPS forum, not here.

Packaging Indesign Folio Issue

Hi,
I have been working on my articles from my desktop and have now 'Packaged' the articles to a server. However, now when I try to update any of the articles I get:
An error has occurred while updating article layouts.
The InDesign file for the layout cannot be found.
All the links in the Indesgn files are linked, so i can't see why DPS is not liking these files. I have looked at past threads about this and people are saying to update software - I can't do this due to the issue with Adobe Viewer in the new update.
Everything worked fine before I packaged the files, and they were updating as they should. What do i do to fix this?
Thanks.

If you can't update to a version which has the "relink" function, you may try to remove and add your articles one by one. Or, if you have proper folder structure and naming conventions – recreate the folio by deleting the old one, creating the new one and importing multiple articles at once. If you try first with adding a single article and it doesn't work, there is also possible that the new path to your files is not understood by DPS (special letters, etc.).

Indesign Folio Desktop Preview not loading/working?

Hi, I'm trying to preview my Folio that I made in Indesign CC and the preview doesn't seem to be working. I press the Preview on Desktop option, the loading bar window pops up with "Preparing Preview" :
and then it goes away and nothing happens. I've already installed and updated everything that I can find related to this issue including the DPS Desktop Tools for InDesign CC from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5657&fileID=5661 and the Adobe AIR from http://get.adobe.com/air/
Does anyone know how to get the preview to work for Indesign CC? Thank's for your help!

I was able to get the preview to work after unistalling Indesign and reinstalling. Guess i'll never know what caused the problem in the first place but I just thought I'd post my solution incase anyone is having the same issue.

InDesign folio builder software update required

I recently downloaded the English version of InDesign from Adobe Creative Cloud. I created an article. I opened the folio builder. The software update required popped up. I updated the required software. When I tried using the folio builder afterwards, the same icon message appears. What can I do to solve the problem?

You need to update your software. Download the latest version from http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f60-21ba9a4512e5e5e0b8d-7 ffe.html.

InDesign Folio Builder : impossible de faire la mise à jour DPS

Bonjour, sur InDesign CC 2014 / MAC OSX 10.9.2.
Le panneau FOLIO BUILDER affiche "Une mise à jour logicielle est requise pour utiliser Digital Publishing Suite. Rendez-vous dans le menu Aide, puis sélectionnez Mises à jour pour obtenir le logiciel requis."
Problème, le bouton AIDE / MISE A JOUR est grisé...donc impossible de faire la mise à jour et d'utiliser FOLIO BUILDER.

Bonjour,
La première chose à faire est de réinitialiser les Préférences de InDesign.

Merci d'avance pour votre aide.

InDesign/ Folio Builder

How do I add another document by scrolling to the right? In the folio builder.

Moved to DPS.
If the ID file is open you can use the add function otherwise you'd use the import function. Both are available from the folio builder panel with the folio selected.
