Mac: R26 Adobe Content Viewer Installation Silently Fails

I'm installing DPS Desktop Tools 26.0.0 and Adobe Content Viewer is silently failing.  In the installation log:
CustomHooks.dylib: installation succeeded

The more disturbing thing is that the installer claims the installation succeeded, even though the ACV installation failed.  I can install ACV by hand (by running "Install Adobe Content Viewer.app").  This is occurring inside a VMware Fusion VM with Mac OS X 10.8.2 (I'm using a VM because I have to build a distribution from the product of installing the AIR-based DPS Desktop Tools installer.  This has not been an issue with previous revisions of DPS Desktop Tools).

We do see this happen occasionally, but chasing down the root cause is difficult. The manual re-install is our suggested workaround at the moment.

  • Adobe content viewer installation...

    Hi,
    I tried to install the Adobe content viewer for desktop using the link provided in the adobe site (helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/help/installing-digital-publishing-tools.html), but, I'm not able to install it FULLY, (only patch files are installed). Can you send me the direct link to download / install Adobe content viewer for desktop?
    Senthil

    https://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/help/installing-digital-publishing-tools. html has the links for installing the desktop tools on CS6. Just download either the Windows or Mac version and run that download.

  • 'Authentication Failed' for Adobe Content Viewer on iPad

    I could not sign in to Adobe Content Viewer on iPad using my Adobe ID? Message received was 'Authentication failed'. I tried signed in to Adobe website using the name ID and password, there was no problem. Could someone PLEASE HELP me!

    I Know nothing about this, but a Google search revealed this from the Adobe Support site.

    SInce it is an Adobe app, you would probably be better off seeking help on their forums anyway.

  • Authentification failed messages with Adobe Content Viewer (still)

    I heard that there was a problem with Authentification failed messages with Adobe Content Viewer this morning with a server issue but I am running into those issues tonight. System Staus reads green. All my log-in info works in other places. What's up?

    Currently all the DPS services are up and running.
    Check DPS status page:

    Kindly try to sign in again and let us know if you still have any trouble signing in.

  • Cannot log in to The Adobe Content Viewer on my iPad - Says Authentication Failed?

    Cannot login to the Adobe Content Viewer on my ipad.
    Says: Authentication Failed...

    Check two things:
    1) Make sure your device is connected to the Internet.
    2) Make sure that the Adobe ID you're using is verified to work with DPS. On a computer, sign in to https://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com, and follow the prompts.
    Let us know if you have a valid Adobe ID and you're still getting this error.

  • "authentication failed" error for adobe content viewer

    i keep getting "authentication failed" error when logging in to adobe content viewer on my ipad.  I am signed in to my adobe account.  what else can I do?

    per neil enns,
    Did you log into http://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com/ with your account, on your PC, and confirm there are no terms and conditions to accept? If so and you still can't log in on your iPad it is likely due to blocked ports by your IT department's firewall.

  • Adobe content viewer authentication failed

    My client is trying to see the folio on his ipad on the adobe content viewer, his adobe id can connect in acrobat.com but not into the adpbe content viewer app, Any solution?

    Ask your client to sign in to https://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com, not http://acrobat.com. Your client can then verify the account to use DPS.

    I have downloaded and istalled Adobe Content Viewer to my iPad. When I try to sign in with my Adobe ID, I keep getting Authentication Failure, what am I doing wrong?

    Thanks for the quick reply.
    Do you have any examples of system extensions or accessibility features that might be the culprit?  I have actually never heard of those terms before.

  • Having trouble logging a client into the Adobe Content Viewer. keep getting authentication failed

    How do people get on with the Adobe Content Viewer?
    It is always a struggle for us. We've got a client struggling with it now -- had created an adobe id a week ago and dow nloaed the app. has followed the troubleshooting guide. but still no luck...

    They need to go to digitalpublishing.acrobat.com, log in with that Adobe ID and accept the terms of use.
    Note: this must be done from a desktop computers. It can't be done from a mobile device.

  • Adobe Content Viewer not installed on V28

    Today I updated both my CC and CS6 versions of InDesign, so I now have V28 of DPS tools, however there is no Content Viewer app available for my Mac (Running )SX 10.8.5).
    When I try to preview on Desktop via the Folio Builder panel, an error stating that the Adobe Content Viewer couldn't be found comes up.
    All the Adobe Support documents go through the process of finding the AdobeContentViewer.air file in the /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Installers/AdobeDigitalPublishingCS6/ContentViewer folder, but I only have three files in that folder:
    Adobe AIR Installer.app
    Install Adobe Content Viewer.app
    Install DPS App Builder.app
    So I can't double-click it to reinstall it.
    My Air is up to date, my Updates are all up to date, and I can't find how to unistall InDesign (I am a Creative Cloud subsriber).
    I used my Time Machine backup to go and get it from a back up, but it wouldn't install when I double-clicked the old version (I was getting desperate!)
    However I can preview the same Folio on my connected iPad running the latest version of the Adobe Content Viewer app
    After a live chat, then over two hours on hold for some UK technical support on my land line, and just over an hour on my mobile, plus a Skype call to the US 800 number to be informed of over an hour's wait there, and to discover UK support is only during office hours, and after nearly two hours it has passed 5.30pm, I had to give up on Adobe's official technical support, and resort to more searching on Adobe forums, but have found nothing for CC or CS6 that I haven't already tried, except unistalling and reinstalling InDesign. But I can't find how do that via Creative Cloud. At one point I had to tell one of the nice indian "technical support" staff not to put me back in the same loop as I'd been in twice before as I was close to tears. He sympathised but told me it wasn't his area of expertise - surprise surprise... Not a good day.
    Pleeeese, is anyone else having this problem, or has anyone else solved this problem?
    Thanks in anticipation

    Thanks Neil, that worked once I'd installed it directly into the Applications folder, not within a subfolder.
    So if anyone else has this issue, install the Desktop Viewer app for CC and it works for both CS6 and CC.
    NOTE, that you need to double-click the Install Adobe Content Viewer.app file, don't look for a file called Install Adobe Content Viewer.air as per the instructions, as they are out of date.
    Phew, I have finally got all my DPS functionality back, and have created a V27 app using V28.

  • Adobe Content Viewer missing

    Hi When i try to preview my folio with the preview option located in the folio builder pane in Indesign Cs 5.5 it says it cant find the adobe content viewer. Can anyone help

    Hi Gatch,
    I am having the exact same issue as you are in InDesign CS5.5. My Adobe Content Viewer application is also missing and is not in Applications>Adobe. I am also getting the same error message as you are when trying to use Folio Preview. So I don't repost everything here, pls. view my current thread here. I reinstalled the Folio Producer tools to no avail, and then tried to install the Adobe Content Viewer
    by drilling down in the Folio Producer installer (AdobeDigitalPublishing-mul > payloads > AdobeContentViewer-mul > AdobeContentViewer.air) but was not able to because I am now getting THIS following message:
    "This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured. Please contact the application author for assistance."
    I am on a Mac with OS 10.7.

  • Adobe Content Viewer loads .folio but displays black

    This is what I see on my Mac, OSx10.7.5 when I load a folio from the file system. I have InDesign as part of Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard (which is how I go Adobe Content View I think). The folio seems to load but won't display the content. It works for a colleague of mine. I only want to viewer folios. I have tried several different .folios. I would try a re-install but can't find the Adobe Content Viewer cde anywhere to download and it doesn't seem to be available through the Adobe Download manager or the Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard Installer.
    Thanks for any thoughts on this.

    Moved to DPS forum.
    Are you using PDF format for the folio? If so, that is unsupported in the desktop ACV.

  • Adobe Content Viewer: Failure to load folio

    Recently I tried to preview a folio on my desktop (mac) at work, and it failed to load. I then tried to add that folio to my current folio builder to see if I could preview it on my shared device....
    It then got stuck at the "building folio" with a checkbox stage and never proceeded past it. I had to quit inDesign eventually.
    I feel like something got corrupted while trying to preview the multistate object, which then somehow corrupted Adobe Air. Please help!

    My Adobe Content Viewer is completely empty. It doesn't matter which account I log into, no folios are ever displayed. This includes folios which were produced and published long ago (and showed up in ACV last week).
    I have verified that the folios exist in the account. They show up in the Folio Builder panel in InDesign and in the Folio Producer online. They just will not load in ACV.
    I tried on a iPad using WiFi. I also tried on an iPhone over LTE (to eliminate local network issues). Still nothing for ANY account (I tried 5 different ones).
    I completely removed the app on both devices (through Usage->Manage Storage->Delete App). Then re-downloaded from Apple Store (v 32.3.0). Still nothing.
    I installed a proxy service and watched the responses from the Adobe servers. I do see XML being returned with the folios and their data, so it seems to be an ACV issue.

  • Cannot download folio in adobe content viewer - urgent help please

    Hello,
    my folio won't download in my Adobe content viewer ("cannot connect to server") and I would have needed it for a presentation at the client - the client also wanted to download the folio on his device but the same error came up. I tried it then with another iPad, same problem on 3 different iPads. I uninstalled the ACV app, installed it again, removed old issues of the magazine from the iPad and tried all that. But everything failed. In the past it always worked fine. This time, the only difference is that I have 2 Youtube videos as "web content" in the folio, but I can't imagine that could be the problem. There were no problems when having the iPad connected to my laptop, everything worked fine. But without cable connection and trying to download it into the Adobe content viewer, the download does not work. Can somebody help me please? And will that have a negative affect on the submission towards the Apple App Store?

    Hello Neil,
    I tried 2 different wireless networks with 3 different iPads and I had the problem with all networks and iPads unfortunately. When I did other app magazine issues for that client in the past, everything always worked fine with the 2 different networks and there were no settings changed. This is why I am so confused about this.
    Meanwhile, I have managed to give my client access by private-publishing the folio via the Folio Panel with my personal Adobe ID and I gave my client my personal Adobe ID for that. Not the ideal solution but at the moment that works.
