Is it possible to view a shared folio without an iPad?

Is it possible to view a shared folio on a desktop PC or Mac with the adobe content viewer app?

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your reply. I'm a little confused though. When the viewer is opened it asks me to "Please select a .folio file". How do I open the shared .folio file?
Basically my problem is that the customer who is wanting to view the iPad app doesn't have an iPad to check it, and would like to view it on their desktop. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Chris

How to view an offline-folio on an iPad?

How to view an offline-folio on an iPad?

If you are on a Mac you can connect your iPad to the computer, run Adobe Content Viewer on the iPad, and then select Preview On Device from the Preview menu in the Folio Builder panel. If you're on a PC you'll have to upload the folio and then log in to ACV on your iPad and download the folio.

Can I tell the file size of my .folio without an iPad?

I've been searching everywhere for this answer, but alas, it has escaped me. How can I tell the file size of my .folio? I'm sure this is really simple. I'd like to be able to see the final file size of my folio without an iPad.

I think if you log into acrobat.com, you should see your folio there, too.
You see the article sizes and may be able to add them together.
Be catuous, editing your folio through acrobat.com might break it.

In content viewer my shared folios say update available when I've not made any update. Why?

Hi, I've created a number of folios which are currently being shared with my clients via Content Viewer. The folios regularly show an "update available" message even when I've not made any update. Can anyone tell me why this happens?
Thanks

thanks for your reply
Yes, this is a fully paid up account and we are using the Adobe content viewer from the app store. No we do not use any 3rd party software. All folios are created in in-design and uploaded via the folio builder panel within in-design. As far as I'm aware this has happened since we started using DPS about a year ago. We are not hitting the update folio button within in-design, therefore they should not be saying update available.
Attached is a screen shot showing the online folio builder panel today, as you can see all publication dates are today. Should we be locking these folios?
I should also mention when we open in-design all of the folios we have published are still within the folio builder panel (see second screen shot) and being shared.

Is it possible to view a shared Outlook calendar in Android and/or iPad/iPhone

Is it possible to get a shared (keyword SHARED) calendar in Outlook to sync with either an android or ipad/iphone calendar? I am able to get my primary outlook calendar to sync, but not my shared calendars. I have googled this topic extensively
and from what I've seen posted on various forums, the answer is a resounding no, but I'm hoping someone here might know of a workaround!
According to Microsoft support, Active Sync on mobile devices does not support shared calendars. (as per this article:http://community.office365.com/en-us/forums/158/t/13142.aspx).
The suggested work around is to not use Active Sync and instead set up an IMAP account. However, my company does not allow IMAP connections, so that's not an option.
Another possibility is to use a 3rd party tool, such as sync2 to sync to a gmail account and in turn sync the gmail calendar to the mobile device. However, that method does not seem to work with shared calendars either.
We are currently using Exchange 2007, but if upgrading to a newer version could make syncing shared calendars to mobile devices possible, I might be able to get approval to upgrade.
Any thoughts or ideas or workarounds are welcome.
Auxiliary questions: I am new to working with Exchange. Can anyone explain why syncing shared calendars with mobile devices is so difficult? Is there something in the general design that makes it problematic? Is the issue about security or technical
limitations or both (or neither)?
Thank you, Rich

I am guessing this is still the case with exchange 2007..
If anyone has a work around please share

Is it possible to view website on screen without being in a browser? I want the website to take up the whole screen.

Hi,
I was wanting to use my DW website as an interactive
portfolio for an interview. What I want is to have my website on my
laptop screen so that the interviewer and I could browse through my
website on screen without being connected to the internet, or
having to preview it through a browser, but instead so that it
takes up the whole screen, is this possible?
My interview is tomorrow (eek) so a prompt response would be
much appreciated,
Thanks
Beth H

If it needs a server, install apache on your laptop, its free
and fairly
easy to setup and install.
As for running full screen, open internet explorer and press
F11 to put it
in kiosk mode, it will show the website full screen. (press
F11 to exit
kiosk mode again)

Shared folio, unsupported browser

Any assistance with the following would be appreciated. I have looked through this forum to try to find an answer but haven't quite found it yet.
I just shared a Folio with a client and have given instruction for them to create their Adobe ID at digitalpublishing.acrobat.com using the email address that I shared the Folio to. When they tap on the shared link on their iPad and iPhone, they get an error saying that the browser is unsupported and that an upgrade is needed.
I have given direction to have them install the most recent Adobe Content Viewer on their iPad and login using their Adobe ID credentials. They will be able to view the shared Folio on the iPad that way.
Can you tell me how to resolve this unsupported browser issue though? I have tested on my iPad (2) and am having the problem as well. Obviously, we want to view the app itself using the Content Viewer on the iPad but shouldn't the shared user be able to see a browser based (acrobat.com) view of the folio as well?
Thanks.
Josh

As Bob said, the digital publishing suite online runs on flash
it's not possible to view that on the iPad - you have to use a desktop browser for that unfortunately
if they want to see the just the folio, they should be able to download it through the content viewer on the iPad if they sign in with the credentials you shared them..

Trouble viewing shared folio on PC or Mac

First, DPS is an awesome suite, I just need to learn more about it.
Second, I'm trying to share a folio and its content with several people to review, and they don't all have devices readily available to view it. How do they view it on their computer in a browser? I've logged in and there doesn't seem to be a 'view' option available anywhere? It lets them go inside the folio and see the article names, but how do they view the articles themselves, as clicking them does nothing?

Well, the automated email says "To ... access the folio in the Folio Producer web client, click on the link above.... Users can also view the shared folio by...." It is the confusion that bothers me. A client with an ongoing publication will have devices, certainly. But in the corporate world, things go out to people across other departments and disciplines that will not have / know how to use InDesign to preview a folio. Some will probably not even have an Adobe ID. So after we get them signed up and shared with, to expect them to know and understand that the link in the email is useless to them, that they should instead install the Adobe Content Viewer on a mobile device and that the shared item it will magically appear when they launch it is the problem.
Once you have logged in with your Adobe ID to DPS (which is already a Flash website, meaning it is capable of showing/playing almost anything!), it just seems neglectful for there to be no way to actually view the folios/articles.
But maybe there is some other way to share this interactive content prior to publishing that I am missing? But I'm only a Team CC member, so I don't think I have access to the social sharing thing, etc.

Is it possible to link a shared calender to multiple users mobile devices?

We are trying to use an outlook shared calendar to schedule day to day activities in a remote location where desktop access is limited. Is it possible to view a shared calendar thru mobile devices that have an outlook account> So far the only participant
that can view the calendar on his phone is who ever created it.

They cannot access it via the shared mailbox or as a shared calendar in their mailbox. If you use the Share calendar feature to generate an ics link, or publish the calendar, users should be able to subscribe to the calendar by adding the ics link to their
calendar app. (I know it works in iOS devices, have not tried on Android or WinPhone.)

Sharing Folio With Someone Via Email.

I'm new to DPS, and I'm creating a sample folio in order to see how it works. The problem I'm having is that
the Folio articles themselves do not show up, i.e. no words and images as I see in InDesign.
Below is a description of what I did and what I see.
I created two articles and put them in one folio. The very first thing I really want to learn how to do is how to share this with someone, especially someone like a potential employer, who may or may not have their own DPS or Adobe account.
So, I understand that in the Folio Builder there is a dropdown menu
on the top right corner of that window where you can select Share, and then enter in someone's email address.
I sent it to myself as a test, incidentally another email address than the one I have used to log into Adobe for my DPS use.
When I get the email, it contains a link. The wording is like: MYNAME has shared the SAMPLENAME folio with you.
The email also has this line: To accept the invitation or access the folio in the Folio Producer web client, click on the link above.
So, when I click on it, it goes to a page on this domain: https://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com, and
then loads this page with Digital Publishing Suite at the top. A row of drop down menus and buttons, including a button named "Open."
Then it shows my SAMPLENAME folio in a row.
If I select the name of my folio, and click the "Open" button, it goes to a new page, with
Digital Folio Producer: Editor at the top, with SAMPLENAME next to it. Then it has a row
of buttons and a slider for Thumbnail size. Below that are two drop down menus with
the names of my articles, SAMPLEARTICLE1 and SAMPLEARTICLE2. Those dropdown
menus contain the options: Copy to...; Delete...; Lock; Rename...
I do not see my actual articles, words and images. I do not see how to open these up. I cannot find anywhere on the
internet, including in Adobe video tutorials, if anyone else has had this problem, or how to solve it. Can anyone please help?

Bob, thanks again for responding. I have to say though that I still need more clarification, or perhaps this is something that Adobe is not doing correctly. In other words, can you pass this along up the chain, so that it is fixed, so that a team of engineers comes up with a better solution? I'm talking about the regular sharing, not the "social sharing," which is beyond me as I don't have a pro or enterprise DPS subscription.
I need to understand exactly how I'm supposed to share a folio with someone. I suppose that of the two evils, requiring an H.R. person to have InDesign with DPS installed on their computer versus having an iPad where they can download the free Adobe Content Viewer, then the ACV app is the lesser of two evils.
Can you please break it down into steps.
Such as 1. Once having created a folio that I want to share I tell the person I want to share it with----go to
this web page: https://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com/welcome.html, create an account. Then, tell me the
email address you used to create the account. Then, download the Adobe Content Viewer on your ipad.
Then, sign into that account.
2. I select "Share" from the dropdown menu of the folio builder, and type in the email address they used to
register with Adobe's DPS page, and perhaps include a message and send it.
3. The recipient sees the email, and then DOESN'T click on the links inside the email. They just understand----or I tell them----that they should ignore the link------and go to their app, where they will see an update button, and then
they update it and it downloads the Folio I've been wanting to share with them.
Is this correct?
If this is correct, why is it not spelled out this way anywhere on the site, or in the tutorial video?
And also, if this is correct, does this not seem crazy?
What is the point of the email being sent, which has links in it, if the links are not to be clicked?
Why can I NOT------just as an example off the top of my head----export a Folio in a format that can be
read by a standalone Adobe Content Viewer, that any person can download from an Adobe page?
Like the way an SWF file can be exported from Flash, and then played by a email recipient via a
standalone Flash Player. Yes, you either have to send them a standalone Flash player, or they
need to download it themselves, but I don't think they have to register to do it. And they don't
need to sign in within Flashplayer.
First of all, asking a recipient to download and register their own Adobe ID (let's assume they are not a
graphic designer) is bad enough. But then, in order to share it with them, I send them an email with links
that don't work as expected.
I've got an idea.
Let's say that some people you want them to see the Folio on their ipad, not be able to
edit it, just view it such as with the Adobe Content Viewer app. And there are other people where you want
them to be able to edit it in Folio Producer at this domain: https://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com
How about there are two different actions in InDesign to take for these two very different scenarios?
Are you telling me there is one method that enables both of these outcomes? This same email that's generated
is for these two separate purposes?
Even the method for viewing the shared Folio which is to sign in, within Folio Builder which is within InDesign, doesn't require going to the email. The email seems to be sent just as an acknowledgment that you enabled this Folio to be
shared with a particular person (identified by their email address).
In other words, if you just want someone to take a look at it, and they have Folio Builder and thus Desktop Content Viewer, the "Share" action could enable sharing on the Adobe website, but an email doesn't actually need to get sent to the person with whom it's being shared. The links in the email will just confuse them.
So, the https://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com page, found through the link in the email is strictly for editing it the Folio outside of InDesign--------but you cannot view it in your browser. In other words, if you don't have InDesign, then you
can edit in your desktop browser, and you can view it on your iPad, but you cannot edit it on your iPad, or view it in your desktop browser. Is this correct?
I think something needs to be done, this process doesn't seem elegant. And there needs to be more clear explanation of this process outside the forum.

I have NO apple products but I need to view a shared iCloud calender from another user. How can I do this? He does not want it public.

Basically the subject says it all. I do not have any apple products. I do have an apple ID but apple wont let me set up an icloud account without any apple products. I was invited to view a shared calender by an Apple user that I NEED to be able to view. It is a private, invite-only calender. Apparently apple wont let me view this shared calender without an iCloud account (even though I still have an apple ID regular account). I cannot set up an iCloud account without a Mac or an iOS products, which I do not own. This is ridiculous but there has to be a work around. Any suggestions?

I would love to setup an iCloud ID. Trust me, I would love nothing more. Apple wont let me without an Apple device.

Can I sideload folios to my iPad?

Sideloading is a process that lets you use iTunes to manually add a .folio file to the Adobe Content Viewer. With the newest release of tools (Drop 12), sideloading is no longer available. Instead, if you sign in using the same Adobe ID on the viewer that you use in the Folio Builder panel, you can download any folio you have access to. For the first download, this process can be time-consuming, especially for larger folios. However, after you download the first time, only the new folios are downloaded during an update.
If you want other people to preview your content, use the Share command in the Folio Builder panel to share the folio. To view the shared folio, users need a copy of InDesign CS5 or CS5.5 with the free Folio Producer tools installed and a free Adobe ID account.

This is the new method for previewing folios on a device.

Folio Producer, Shared Folios and Content Viewer

Hi,
Forgive me if this answer is posted elsewhere and after some searching I wasn't able to find an answer.
I have several folios that students share with me. When you have 30 students or even more each semester sharing folios it starts to add up!
So, I was hoping I could use the Folio Producer to manage which folios (that they have shared with me) show up in my iPad content viewer app. I thought I could check, "Content Viewer for Web Only" in the bottom right of the window when I highlight the folio but when I do, the folio still shows up in the content viewer app.
The number of folios in my content viewer app is unyieldy and some folios aren't showing.
1. Am I using that feature correctly?
2. Is there any way to manage the folios so I can keep them but not have to delete?
3. If folios are not showing in the content viewer app, does this mean there is a limit to the number of folios that can be viewed in the content viewer app?
Thank you in advance.
Deb

1. No, that feature is for something entirely different (related to social sharing)
2. Not really. When they are in your account they show up in Adobe Content Viewer. That's what Adobe Content Viewr is for: to show you the folios in your account.
3. There's no limit. If the folios aren't showing up it probably means they aren't the right size for an iPad. They have to be 1024x768 or 2048x1536.

Shared folio stopped updating in Content Viewer

It appears that updates have stopped being pushed to a relatively large shared folio that we're working on (it is still internal and has not been published). Updates to this folio were working just fine, but they seem to have stopped sometime in the past two weeks. Here's what I know:
I am logged into my Adobe account in Content Viewer
I can view the "old" version of the folio that's currently stored on my iPad
The new content is visible in Folio Producer Editor (so it made it's way from InDesign to Adobe's servers)
No "Update Available" message appears in Content Viewer
We've attempted to share the folio with other Adobe accounts, and it won't push out to their accounts
I tried archiving it on my iPad, and it's now completely gone from Content Viewer (even though it's still shared with my Adobe Account)
Updates to other shared folios and new folios are being pushed through just fine, so it appears that Content Viewer is communicating with Adobe properly. It's just this one large folio - with 50+ articles and metadata fully populated - that suddenly decided it didn't want to update anymore.
My fear is that the folio is corrupt and that we are going to have to rebuild it, which will likely take several hours. Is there a way to quickly clone and publish a folio? Is there some new setting in Folio Producer that we need to activate? Would updating to the latest version of Builder and Producer Tools have screwed things up (which I doubt, since other folios are behaving normally)?
Thanks,
- Chris

I too having the same problem like you guys, it just suddenly stop working for me 3 days ago. It did noticed there's an update but failed to download it.
Cannot update libary. An error has occurred.
Digtial publishing suite Tips, a magazine I just downloaded yesterday also having the same error.
I also noticed that my "Fast company" stop working as well, keep giving me the same error.
Some other DPS magzine fair bit better, didn't give me any error but have slow downloads.

Is it possible to link from a folio to another (precisions inside) ?

Hello !
Is it possible to linkf rom a folio to another ?
And is it possible to do this linking : in "FOLIO#1 article#32" put a link on it that goes to "FOLIO#3 article#17"
Thanx for your answers !

m'kay, dunno if I'll use this "you didn't hear it from me" feature, cause i got to link 80 articles in 3 folios (each time), and i'd beter find a solution that works everytime.
Means, gotta put all this in a single folio. WIll be a mess, but i got to have to have it working in the end ...
Still, I wonder why it is so hard to have "basic links" like "navto://folioname1:article2" ?
Especially in cases (like this one, actually) where i'm the only one to use this on my content viewer and in my folio producer (but in all case would be even better of course).
Thanx for your answer anyway !
