Managing stacks after using Folio Builder

The prerelease Content Bundler made managing stacks easy. Am I missing something with the release tools? I only see the Folio Builder and it seems not to include any way to reorder pages. It seems like the order the articles are added to the Folio is the way they have to appear in the Content Viewer.
I'm not sure if it's a related issue, but I am also experiencing hyperlink issues. Links that worked seamlessly in the prerelease now don't appear to work on the iPad.

Ah for the twitter issue specifically i found it in Twitters mobile help guide documetation.
Problems are common with "redirection" and webviews. This is because Apple's UIwebview object is not a mobile safari and handles certain tasks differently. If you know a website will require a redirection then its good practice to link it to the final redirected URL otherwise the UIwebview object will lock it down and display nothing. So in all honesty its more of an Apple issue than an Adobe issue.
usually when you do this inside of xcode the webview application passes the direct URL through a "NSURL" object then through the "UIWebView Delegation" method--- but it is URL specific so Adobe would have to hand code Every possible Mobile redirection out there.
But hey thats what testing things out is for. So if a website doesn't display.. most likely they have a redirection in place.

An update is required to use Folio Builder. Please click here to download the Folio Producer tools.

Hello,
I'm using CS 5.5, Mac OS 10.8.4. I've spent the last two nights trying to figure this out but I am really stuck this time... I think the issue I'm having is similar to IDEAMAN1 but I got lost on his advice after trying some stuff out, so help would be greatly appreciated!! (I'm only medium-level tech savvy...)
Trying to create my first epublication. Downloaded FolioPanel v26 and installed it, then FolioProducerTools v27 and installed it. Realised I had stuffed it up so uninstalled both using the uninstaller. Re-downloaded FolioProducerTools v27, FoiioPanel v27 and installed in that order and popup said the updates were ready to go. Opened InDesign and folio builder panel said "An update is required to use Folio Builder. Please click here to download the Folio Producer tools.". The link brought me to http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=172&platform=Macintosh which is where I downloaded the original files anyway.
So I've tried uninstalling, restarting the computer, trashed preferences, closed CS5.5ServiceManager, reinstalling heaps of times and not sure what I should try next. Please help!! Thanks!!!!

That notification is often a bug.
I get it regularly when I launch InDesing while connected to my Thunderbolt Display.
If I disconnect my Macbook from the Display, relaunch InDesign it works fine - reconnecting to Thunderbolt display after this also still allows the Folio Producer tools to load properly.

Will pages automatically reformat to correct size when using Folio Builder or do I have to make pages iPad format, for example, in InDesign document set up from the start?

Moved to DPS forum.
You need to set up the pages appropriately for the target device. For iPad that's 1024x768.

Dark path's edges after using shape builder tool or masking objects

hi,
i have a problem with path edges after using shape builder tool or masking objects. This problem occurs when i draw bright colored objects above dark colored object. After that i have dark path's edges. Like this: http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/2051/dlm2.jpg
I have one solution (pathfinder->dive objects and delete some dark elements on the bottom) but maybe someone know another solution for this problem?

Thank you for reply
Unfortunately, I don't have opportunity to print it, but as you wrote, it must be a screen artifact. I exported this file to tiff, then i opened it in photoshop. Everything is ok. All of the edges are clear.

Folio producer tools update required to use folio builder but content viewer app not available

Hi,
I have a problem with DPS Folio Producer tools.
We are unable to use Folio Builder to update our iPad presentation to the cloud because we keep getting this message: An update is required to use Folio Builder. Please click here to download Folio Producer Tools.
We have previously done this only to discover that the new version of Folio Producer Tools is incompatible with the Content Viewer and the new Content Viewer app is not yet approved, or available from Apple.
So we have done a rollback to a previous version of the Folio Producer Tools which worked for a few hours, but is now prompting for the update again - but as explained above we cannot download the update until the Content Viewer app is available.
HELPPPPPPP!!!

This is the DPS model.
When a company thinks first about monetizing solutions instead of making it an extra option.
You are not free anymore to use the tools you want, you must follow Adobe's decisions to update online apps.
Online apps are everything but good.
You will have to wait until the Viewer gets approved by Apple.
Dear Adobe: do you see how many people come here because they don't understand how your technical model works?

After update Folio Builder Panel 1.1.3. articles keep on loading

Hi all,
After updating the Folio Builder Panel as requested (by the panel it self), we are unable to acces any articles. A loading icon keeps on animating and the article-folders stay grey. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Looking forward hearing from you.
Regards,
Remco van den Hout

The good news, your'e not alone. The bad news... Adobe doesn't really have a fix at this point.
It's a problem where the DPS thinks you are trying to update those articles, and they don't ever get reset to a state of "updated". The only fix I was able to do, unfortunately, was to trash the folios and reupload the whole thing again. It's unclear at this time where the problem was introduced so it might take a while for a fix.
It was a major pain to have to do this stuff over again – but I know that the issue has been documented and they are looking into it.
I recommend you make a sidecar.xml file with all the folio descriptive copy. This way, if you have to do this process another time, you can import the sidecar file and it will populate all of your articles again a lot faster. You might have to still adjust the order in a few cases... but it works pretty well. Info on that here:

Can I use Folio Builder with my Adobe ID on another computer?

I'm working in Windows XP. I have a folio hosted in my free acrobat.com workspace, with the source files on a network drive. If I sit at someone else's computer in my workgroup and log in to Folio Builder, I can see my folio and can edit and save the articles just fine but I cannot Update them. Any attempt to Update an article in Folio Builder produces a 'content generation error'. Any attempt to get a Preview produces the same error.
Back on my own computer, everything is hunky dory.
Is this expected behaviour? Do Preview and Update rely on temp files in my specific Application Data folder, perhaps? I have ditched InDesign prefs on the computer in question but it makes no difference.
Alistair

Hello John,
Yes, the ability to relink (much like you can do with media in After Effects, Premiere Pro, and InDesign) is what I had in mind. I actually did look for a place in Folio Builder that would let me redefine the location of the parent folder for all of my folios. In the video production world we have to move and share source and media files with other people frequently so I was surprised to learn this wasn't yet supported with ADPS.
For us the main reasons for some sort of relinking ability are:
- When you need to update files on a work trip, from home, or some other mobile situation.
- For instances in the future when you have backed up a project and need to restore it to make updates.
- When you need to hand over a project to someone else at a different workstation or even another facility.
Of the two choices you mentioned, I think the ability to "fix" the broken links makes the most sense for the situations I've encountered so far. Assuming it's straightforward I would have no problem going through the process when switching machines. I would assume that print designers are familiar enough with linked assets that they wouldn't have a problem with this either.

"An update is required to use Folio Builder"

Hi,
I suddenly got this error 2 days ago, and it's been going on for days now.
I contacted my reseller for DPS and to be honest it's real "****" the only solutions they can come up with are the same solutions I find on these forums which none of them work.
We pay about 12.000 euro for this whole system a year and there isn't even a decent amount of support on this.
Here is a list of things I've tried:
- Uninstalled Folio Builder and Folio Producer Tools, Reinstalled both tools
- Uninstalled Folio Builder and Folio Producer Tools, Removed Folders and Files from "Application Support", Removed Preferences, Reinstalled both tools
- Uninstalled Folio Builder and Folio Producer Tools, Removed Folder and Files from "Application Support", Removed Preferences, Uninstalled Indesign CS5.5, Reinstalled InDesign CS5.5, Reinstalled Both tools
- Fixed Permissions on my HDD using OSX Disk Utility
- Changed InDesign Folder Permission to Read & Write for everyone on the "Applications/Adobe InDesign CS5.5/" Folder (and child files and folders)
- Rebooted dozens of times.
- Disabled Firewall (in case a port was getting blocked or whatever)
The thing is... this happens on 2 iMacs and the other iMac is fine.
All macs are iMac Late 2013 and run the latest OSX Mavericks updates.
Also all iMacs use InDesign CS5.5

Hi,
Based on your first post it seems you use InDesign CS 5.5 and WoodWing. We have +50 apps running on the very efficient combination of DPS for apps and WoodWing for content production.
If you use a plain InDesign CS 5.5 without WoodWing the answer from Adobe support will be "you can't use DPS with InDesign CS 5.5" - as CS 5.x is no longer supported and hasn't been since early September. CC will however work.
If you use InDesign + WoodWing then you should go to the community.woodwing.net site to get support. Adobe support won't be able to help you. CS 5.5 is still supported when using WoodWing, and we have daily newspapers producing on that combination - so... I would be the first to know if it stopped working (but it does).

This is possible in InDesign CS5.5 using Folio Builder (DPS).

Hi DPS Experts,
I am new to this DPS work flow.
I am using InDesign CS5.5. I have the question? This is possible to create the apps for the below mentioned web link.
http://www.spanish-real-estate.co.uk/
The website is in joomla and the domain is www.spanish-real-estate.co.uk
The app will be free so I am not sure if this will need apple store approval.
If it possible please any one help to or guide how to I start the process how to uploaded the files in DPS and how to check it out the video and audio and everthing like in the website to be embeded in the iPad Apps.
Please give the path to achieve this goal.
thx,
csm_phil

Out of curiosity, why do you want your app to look like the actual website?
And Yes every app goes through an approval process before it appears in the app store.

Missing all menus and buttons from Folio Builder

I had a problem with Folio Builder panel when change ID password. I re instal both plugin again( FP and FProdTool), but this did not help. After reading the forum about solving the problem >
1) Quit InDesign and any other CS apps
2) Use the Activity Monitor to quit the CS5ServiceManager or CS5.5Service Manager
3) Next delete this file based on version:
/Users/lnegi/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CS5ServiceManager/preference/csxs2.pref
/Users/lnegi/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CS5.5ServiceManager/preference/csxs2.pref
4) Then remove this item from the Keychain Access based on version:
Adobe-CS-5-renga
Adobe-CS-5.5-renga
To remove from the keychain:
Navigate to /Applications/Utilities and launch the Keychain Access.app
If the lock icon in the upper left appears locked, click on it and enter your password to unlock it.
Select the “login” item in the Keychains list in the top left.
Select “Passwords” from the category list.
Type “renga” in the search field in the top right.
Select any matches and press the delete key.
>>>>I followed the advice. But after that , Folio Builder panel has stopped working, missing all menus and buttons from FBpanel. Please help solve the problem!!!

i'm disappoint ...after the second day, I can not work with my DPS.. afte trying this:
1. Uninstall Folio Builder Panel and Folio producer Tools ( Seems you might have already followed this step). Use Spotlight to serach for Uninstall Folio builder Panel and Uninstall Folio producer Tools and then uninstall repectively.
2. Uninstall Adobe Air.
3. Restart your Machine.
4. Reinstall Adobe Air from get.adobe.com/air
5. Reinstall Folio Builder Panel and Folio Producer Tools.
>>> Folio Builder panel again does not appear!!! The Panel yesterday behaved strangely, one moment disappeared, then appeared( but with а blank window)....what am i doing wrong!? ...When I first time instal DPS, it also had problem after a older versions of DPS, but the problem eventually decided. Now I instal the last versions plugins HEEEEELPPPP!!!!

Folio Builder update issues

I have a Mac--trying to use Folio Builder and every time it says I need to update, so I do, and it reflects an update, but then I try to open the Folio Builder panel and it says yet again that I need to update. Please help!

After several hours (4+) trying every combination described here and elsewhere, what ultimately worked was uninstalling ALL Adobe software and starting from scratch.
1. Uninstall any and all Adobe software:
Adobe AIR
Adobe Flash
DPS App Builder
Adobe Creative Cloud
Adobe InDesign
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Illustrator
Previous downloads of installers
Etc.
2. Clear all system and user caches, preferences, bootcaches, kextcache, etc.and reboot (whether necessary or not; just for good measure).
3. Run the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to confirm everything was removed.
4. Reboot (whether necessary or not; just for good measure).
5. Confirm no Adobe affiliated process is running in the Activity Monitor (or Task/Process Viewer in Windows).
6. Download a new clean installer for Adobe Creative Cloud.
7. Cross fingers.
8. Install Adobe InDesign.
9. Reboot (again, just because).
10. Install Adobe InDesign updates (which should download the necessary DPS tools too).
After all this, the Folio Builder finally appeared and began working again for my computer.

Folio Builder doesn't open

When I go to Window > Extensions in my InDesign CS5.5 (Mac), Foilo Builder is there but absolutely nothing happens when I try to select it. All other extensions there open up, but not Folio Builder. I have uninstalled Folio Producer tools, the Folio Builder panel alone, then re-installed the latest CS5.5 updates (yes, not the CS5 updates) for both many times, with the same results. I had Folio Builder working previously, after updating it, even having a folio built, but now the panel just doesn't open. Anyone know how to fix this? I've run out of ideas. Thanks.
Fred

Thanks for your reply -
It's not the Adobe account that I have a problem with but the second user account on my computer that I had to create. So I log into my mac as a different user. My folio builder works on one user but not the other and is essentially the same software being used. I just open it as a different administrator. I can log into folio builder as my second computer user all ok but the other prompts for an update to the tools.
It means I have to log in and out as different users just to use folio builder. Any ideas?
This issue we have with two separate machines in our studio - they each have two separate mac user accounts so we can access the folio builder.
I hope this makes sense - any feedback to fix this would be a massive help!
Many Thanks

Folio Builder Panel - need clarifications

Hi All,
I need the below clarifications on Folio Builder Panel:
(1) After installing Folio Builder Tool, I tried to generate FOLIO file, it shows like only one FOLIO will be generated as free, pl. confirm whether I can continue in generating FOLIO as free like done in pre-release tool 'Adobe Digit Content Bundler'
(2) After installing Folio Builder Tool, I unable to use 'Adobe Digit Content Bundler', pl. confirm whether I need to reinstall again the installed tool and installing again the 'Adobe Digit Content Bundler'
Thanks,
Praveen

Thanks Bob, for point 1, is it ok if I reinstall the same pre-release tool to generate the FOLIO file and continue for some more time, since my concern is not yet come to the conclusion to invest amount only for creating FOLIO files?
Praveen

Folio Builder without 'creating apps'

Like many designers I have been somewhat frustrated with ID to iPad options for simple presentations. My needs are straight-forward and don't involve monetisation of 'apps' or anything distrubuted via the AppStore. I am simply wanting to produce presenations that get delivered on an iPad.
PDF is almost perfect, but doesn't cut it because of the inability to use video
Keynote doens't offer me the design flexibility (typefaces etc.) and I prefer to stay 100% (as much as possible) in InDesign
Not interested in the complex workflows going via Flash and HTML 5. Doesn't suit my workflow.
Folio builder is obviously what I have been looking for and was the primarily reason I just upgraded to CS5.5. I just cannot get my head around the workflows... I have spent days researching and just hang up after two hours on hold waiting for an Adobe Support tech... never again ;-)
Can I use Folio Builder to produce presentations WITHOUT paying $500 a month? My understanding was that I should be able to still produce content and view it on a local iPad and on the iMac using Content Viewer via an Acrobat.com account (ie. using my Adobe ID). One day I would love to produce 'real Apps' but for now, my clients simply don't have that need or the ability to make it cost effective.
I have been trying for a week now but cannot get Content Viewer on my iMac or iPad to 'work'. By that I mean shared folios are not viewable. I can see shared files in Folio Builder but when I go to 'preview' it 'gets stuck' in Content Viewer. Blue bar just stops and after hours nothing happens. On the iPad I always get a message asking me to 'upgrade the app' but it's the latest version...
I am hoping that these 'digital publishing tools' touted by Adobe are not just for the use of the 1% of designers working for large publishing companies or very large agencies.
Anyway, thanks in advance for your time. Any help MUCH appreciated!

I just posted this a few minutes ago in another thread, but it bears repeatin in this thread, IMHO:
"I have been closely monitoring many threads here at DPS (and DPS Private Beta Forums) in the last few weeks, and yes I am new to this particular product group having only been in it since March. But I wonder if there is some way that Adobe can be made aware of how serious this issue is with Builder and Viewer and tools "not lining up" with Apple.
"To keep putting this problem on Apple is somewhat of a shopworn technique (and I say this with all due respect.). Still, Apple commands fully 80+ % of the tablet market. They are the big dog.
"Suggestions for the future: Perhaps there will be a way to choose a tools/viewers workflow at startup -- or to put a bigger "red flag" before installing any update that is not yet supported by Apple. Approaching this from the engineering side, you may have forgotten just how many disclaimer screens the average designer/production person faces every week! Many of us don't read them carefully. (Richard Dreyfuss reads them).
"I have nothing but admiration for what Adobe software engineers are trying to do -- and these are nascent times to be sure. But it certainly seems like this launch is going poorly.

Folio builder doesn't work

I can't use Folio Builder: I have already installed both the Panel and Tools, but when I open Indesign it still says that I have to donwload and istall the new version... But I DID it!
I have Mac and Indesign CS5.5 what I have to do? Please, I have to use Folio Builder to complete my final proget for the university!
