Hello Cube S JK
I'm currently dealing with this problem as well.
it seems the "preview" screen in indesign is just the flash-export preview and not the folio export preview.
If you want to do a folio preview hit the preview buton in the folio menu.
the animation menu is a menu filled with options and "tweens" for swf exports not for exports to adobe folio.
you could try to make animated objects using html 5 and add them as html content....
BUT: for as far as I can read the forums there seem to be problems with animations in html 5 content as well
And the .gif option doesn't work to since your folio gets exported in either jpg, png or pdf format.
I'm going to contact Adobe to allow users like you and me to add these so called tweens to folio publications, but as of yet there is no way to make animations for your digital magazines or books other than the standard things (360 degree spin and such)

Folio preview does not work!! since Mandatory Folio Builder Panel update!

hi everyone
my grafic team told me that the folio preview in indesign does not work anymore since the required folio builder panel update!
working on mac and cs 5
please help
best regards michael

I just spoke with a member of our team and they were able to reproduce this issue: invoking folio preview from the file menu brings up an empty panel instead of launching the desktop preview tool. Thanks for bringing it to our attention! There are two ways you can work around this and get the desktop preview application up with your content:
1) Use the preview button in the Folio Builder panel (this will preview the entire folio)
2) Use the preview button in the Overlay Creator panel (this will preview the active InDesign document)
This problem only affects CS5 and CS5.5. If you are on CS6 the menu will work correctly.

Content viewer doesn't show folio preview on connected iPad

Hi all,
since I updated the content viewer on the latest version (3.0.0), I don't get a preview of my ID article on my connected iPad (from the panel "folio overlays")! What kind of bug is this? I really often use this function and I MISS it now!! What can I do?
Can anyone help?
Thank you

Hi, thank you, but I don't find my kind of problem there.
I try to describe better...
BEFORE, I could always see a preview of my actual Indesign Document in the conten viewer. I would just connect my iPad, then choose "Vorschau auf dem iPad" (preview on the iPad) in the folio overlay panel.
NOW, I don't get this choice any more; Indesign only shows "Preview on the desktop" - ALTHOUGH I have my iPad connected and my content viewer running.
I have the same problem with two Macs and two iPads, so it really seems to be some kind of bug on this latest content viewer version?!

Urgent: File Folio Preview opens an empty "Folio Preview" panel (ID CS 5.5)

Hi!
I just updated The Folio Builder panel, and the command File > Folio Preview does not send the document to the Content Viewer as usual, but opens a new panel called Folio Preview ..., which remains empty.
I can preview documents as usual using the Preview button at the bottom of the Overlay Creator panel, but not using the menu command. There is a check mark next to the Folio Preview command on the File menu when the panel remains open. (Doing some searches on this forum, there seemed to be a similar problem last October, but I would have thought it should be solved by now.)
I'm experiencing this problem on both my PC running Windows 7 and my MacBook Pro running Mac OS. (Both laptops are running the Norwegian version of the repective OS.)
I can work around the problem using the Overlay Creator panel, but if anybody has an explanation and/or solution I would be very grateful. I'm starting a two day course teaching DPS tomorrow, so this is rather urgent.
Best regards,
Tom
PS. I'll try to upload a screen shot shortly to clarify the situation.

Here's a screen shot (Windows, the Mac version looks and acts identical):
And here's the version I'm using. Just installed FolioPanel-CS55-12.2.2.1
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Animation not playing in folio preview

Hi, I have created a document in InDesign and added animation using the 'Interactive - Animation' option, but when I create a folio, the animation isnt playing in the folio preview? Is there any tips to get the animation working in folio preview?

You have apparently done no research at all on this topic. I urge you to stop right now and read all of the DPS documentation which includes a list of which InDesign features are and more importantly aren't supported in DPS. Hint: Aninimation are not supported.
Please post followups in the DPS forum.

Folio preview error

Hi All.
The error has returned, this time my son has spent about 25 hours on the file and he is doing really well.
The indd file opens fine and you can work your way through the file in InDesign (CS6). We plugged in the iPad and tried to view the folio in the adobe viewer through the overlay panel and in the InDesign folio preview. The InDesign folio preview just came up with error cant open file but when trying to view on the iPad adobe viewer the error below appears.
The file has not been changed since it was closed previously and was working well then in all modes.
This was recovered previously by deleting th folio in the folio builder and re-uploading. This time this is not going to work as there is no folio in the folio builder, we are just previewing as we are going along with the build.
Can some one please help, he has worked hard on this and needs to take the finished iten all the way to app and take to school. We really dont want to have to start all over again.
Thanks, Jim & James.

Sorry Bob, dont know what happened there.
Jim.

Folio Preview NOT working

Hi - I am running window 7 64bit and adobe could services for all required adobe applications.
InDesign is installed and the "Folio Preview" is not working. I have tried the "Preview", "Preview on Desktop" from "Folio Overlays" and the "Folio Preview" from the "File" menu, but get the same result. I have looked for the content viewer and noticed that it ins not installed. Please help!

Here's my response to a similar issue on another thread:
Are you on Windows or a Mac? I'm going to assume Mac for now:
1) Check and make sure the Adobe Content Viewer shows in your Applications folder. If it does, run it and then try previewing again.
2) If it's installed but preview still doesn't work try fixing up the file type assocation for .folio. See http://forums.adobe.com/message/4617478.
3) If it isn't installed try installing it from /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Installers/AdobeDigitalPublishingCS6/ContentViewer/Adob eContentViewer.air
If you are on Windows the location for the install in step 3 is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\AdobeDigitalPublishingCS6\ContentViewer\AdobeC ontentViewer.air"

Folio preview

My son is working on a mag in InDesign CS6 and was asked to save, check and finish his work for the day. At that point all was fine, after opening the file today he receives the following message when viewing on the iPad and just error when viewing on the desktop folio preview. Can any one help. Invalid value for parameter 'sourceFolio' of method 'sideloadFolio'. Expected File, but received /Volumes/Users/James/Library/Preferences/StageManager.BD092818F67280F4B42B04877600987F011 1B594.1/Local Store/ocp/output/folio_1361375430160/proxy.folio.
iMac i5, new.
InDesign CS6

Looks like the link to the folio on your machine is broken between the folio builder and the local TEMP location on the machine. I'd suggest you to go ahead and delete the folio, recreate the folio and try again.

Wanting Indesign CC Panel Previews to stay ON!

Hi all. Is there a way to keep all the Indesign CC Panel Previews on as default?
EG, every time I use the Underline Options Panel, for the 1st time since application was reopened, I have to turn on the Preview Tick.
I think with Indesign CS5 and no other docs open, you could just open the panels and turn the tick on and it would stay on. I have tried this with CC and it doesn't work.
Thanks for any help.

Hi
I found a workaround for my problem. I just turned the visibility of my panel on and off and it worked.. Note that this inserted a crash for ID CC..
If anyone finds a more appropriate solution for this please let me know.
Thanks.

InDesign CS6 interactive pdf problem

Hi, I've created an interactive pdf using InDesign CS6; document contains text fields and radio buttons. When exported the radio buttons flicker when you hover over them or click to make a selelction. Does anyone know how to prevent this? Many thanks

I have a hunch it could be an Acrobat/Reader limitation.
Set up a part of the form without the radio buttons but just use circles. Export a PDF and open in Acrobat. Use Acrobat's Form Field Recognition to turn the circles into radio buttons (or use Acrobat's form feature to create radio buttons with the same value).
I doubt it's InDesign that's the problem.

Place a GIF in an InDesign SWF?

I have a GIF image that I'm wanting to place in an InDesign SWF file. Is this possible? If not, what probably can accomplish this?
Thanks!

You can place a GIF into an InDesign file. Your InDesign file can be exported to SWF.

Attaching preloader to InDesign swf

I exported an interactive swf from InDesign (content.swf). It is 7MB. I would like to add a preloader. I found a site that offered a recipe but the swf plays through the frames without stoping on the first frame.
Further research indicated I was using AS2 and that the InDesign swf needs to be address in AS3. I am unable to find how to do this using AS3.
Any help/recipies would be appreciated.
Tina
Here is they structure of the file with the preloader.
Scene 1
Layer 1: frame 2: actionscript
loadMovieNum("content.swf", 10);
_level10.gotoAndStop(1);
Layer 2: frame 1: placed movie clip named: preloader
preloader structure:
Layer 1 has three frames
frame 1:
parent.stop();
frame 2:
kBytesLoaded = _parent.getBytesLoaded()/7045928;
kBytesTotal = _parent.getBytesTotal()/7045928;
kBytesRemaining - kBytesTotal - kBytesLoaded;
percentLoaded = 100 * kBytesLoaded / kBytesTotal;
percentRemaining = 100 - percentLoaded;
progress = percentRemaining;
loadBar._xScale = percentLoaded;
frame 3:
if (percentLoaded < 99){
gotoAndPlay(2);
} else {
_parent.play();
stop();
layer 2 has the progress text (progress) and the progress bar (loadBar)

Since you will be loading AS3 files, you will need an AS3 preloader, otherwise, an AS2 preloader such as what you showed will fail in trying to an AS3 file, which is probably what you encountered in trying it.
Here's a link to an AS3 preloader tutorial which I believe does what you want... loads the file separately...
AS3 Preloader
http://www.gotoandlearn.com/play.php?id=85
but just so you aren't fooled by it all... When someone is playing your game, they have already downloaded your game. So your protection is really only protecting your files against those who are either too lazy or lack the knowledge of how to get the file from their cache. But some protection is often better than none.
