Missing Folio Builder Panel

I'm running Indesign CS 6 and recently updated DPS desktop tools. Since then, the Folio builder panel went missing and I can't get it back. Please help!
Actually, there is the whole windows>extensions tab missing and the extension manager is not showing DPS desktop tools at all. I installed AdobeExchange, which shows up in the extension manager but still no windows>extensions tab ...

I've moved your question to the DPS forum which is the best place to get an answer.

I'm missing Folio Builder Panel in Indesign CC

I just downloaded InDesign CC, installed DPS tools but don't have Folio Overlays or Folio Builder panels under Windows in InDesign. I am using inDesign CC on a MacBook Pro. I have it all working in CS6 but not CC. Is there something that I'm missing? bv

As far as I remember I had the same issue when i let an old version of CS6 on my computer (was a PC). I had to clean everything related to Adobe to then install all CC, and then that worked. Not surs that may be the same problem for Mac, but that was my experience.

I am using Windows 7, InDesign CC.
While watching a Terry White video I made an app along wth the tutorila All works fine in the Desktop Viewer. When it reaches the point of going to the "Folio Builder" panel mine does not have the "Creat App" option that Terry White has. Is this because I have windows not

Yes, a Mac is required to create DPS apps.

Why I can't use the Folio Builder panel on my Indesign 5.5?

When I launch the Folio Builder panel in my Indesign 5.5. There is a message that says "To start the digital publishing authoring process, please download the update for the Folio Producer components and relaunch your application." I have downloaded the "FolioProducerTools-CS55-1-9-1.zip", installed it and restarted my machine but when I launch the Folio Builder panel again and it has the same message so does anybody know what I have missed?
Thanks!

Thanks Bob for your super fast reply. Cheers!

Hello Someone knows if theres a problem with sign in feature the Folio Builder Panel

Recently I did the update of the DPS tools, to the 27, the desk top viewer dosen´t install, and I install it manually as sugested, and it works
but, I can´t connect the folio builder panel with the DPS account using the folio builder panel side menu, simply it dosen`t work.
I can sign in into the account in DPS home page, using the app builder log in panel an so on, but folio builder panel don´t
Some one has the same behavior?
Is this a an Apocalypsis signal?
or a warning about the Nibiru affaire?
Any clue?

hello ludovix78. Welcome to the world of those who can not connect to the Folio Builder.
To give you an idea, this problem started with the v26, and then fix the v27 and nobody gave a possible solution.
I'll give you link to other forums drenches you with the issue.
If you find a solution, please share it.

Sign in with indesign CS6 in folio builder panel

hi! I can't sign in with indesign CS6 in folio builder panel. what can a i do?? I can sign in from adobe web page, but not from indesign, and the option "updates" from "Help" menu is deactivated

I found one way to fix it:
- quit all CS6 apps
- if in OSX force quit the CS6ServiceManager via Activity Monitor app
- go to the User Library (hold down option key while accessing the Go menu) and find these:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CS6ServiceManager/preference/csxs3.pref - move this file out to desktop
Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/opm.db - move this file out to desktop
zip these up and delete the original, you now have inaccessible copies to put back just in case but have found this unnecessary.
- Restart Indesign and log in should now hold.
Found this started to happen after updating to 10.9.2, on a number of our designers machines.

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.

Folio Builder Panel update error

Tried updating folio tools 3Xs. Keep getting this eror:
A newer version of Folio Builder is available for download. Update Folio Builder panel to latest version here.
Have quit inDesign, restarted the computer, logged on and still get the error.
Any ideas?

There was a short amount of time where the link in the Folio Builder panel was redirecting to the old download still, but it should be working now.
You can head directly to http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html to get your downloads. Make sure that the file is from November 17th.

Folio builder panel issues - CS6 - Mac

My folio builder panel is just blank. Not sure why. I use it once a month for a monthly issue of a magazine of sorts, and went to use it today and there is nothing visible. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Uninstall and re-install the Digital Publishing Suite Tools for CS6. If that doesn't resolve the issue, un-install and re-install InDesign CS6.

InDesign Crashes Opening Folio Builder Panel

While working on a publication, I will leave the Folio Builder panel to open a different one. Upon trying to reopen the builder panel so I can add my publication to the folio, InDesign crashes. Without fail, everytime. No matter what InDesign document I have open, it will crash. I have to force quit, reopen and add the document first thing. before begining work on another article.
Anyone know why?

I open Indesign and it automatically signs me into my dps acct.
I begin working on an article (using the different tools like object states, buttons, video)
all of those panels are in the same tool group as the folio builder so folio builder gets collapsed while using the other tools.
when it is time to update my article and i go to open the folio builder panel is when it freezes InDesign.
I don't have any exact steps to reproduce this because the other tools I use varies, but if the folio builder panel gets collapsed, InDesign freezes when I reopen it.

Sharing/Unsharing Apps in Folio Builder Panel - Tweaks

Adobe could help us out by cleaning up this Folio Builder panel feature.
Pasting a list of e-mail addresses has to be formatted juuuust right, otherwise it doesn't recognize them. When adding users it would be useful if there was some sort of memory/auto-fill that recognized previously added users from other folios. Perhaps a master list appears and we could just click to add users from that list. Showing the abbreviated address or name is also quite annoying (for example, when you add a user it formats the entry into a nice little "bubble" but truncates the info). Is this really necessary?
Thanks for being awesome.

Hi Ruthanne, thanks for the response, but it turns out the solution is:
Quit InDesign and any other CS apps.
First, delete the opm.db file located in /Users/"your user name"/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/opm.db, and then start InDesign and try signing in to the panel.
Why that has taken Adobe support, four phone calls, and unhelpful advice, plus a link to a help article that I had to go through several links to find the answer to, I don't know.
It would help if the "DPS" support team were better trained, and rather than sendind emails with links to articles on them, had s stock number of troubleshooting steps to try I don't know.
I was advised to create a whole new user account, uninstall InDesign, and reinstall it on that user account to see if that solved the problem, but fortunately this simple fix cured it in my standard user account.
I have learned in a very painful and stressful way, that a lot of the information on the support forums is not up to date, and relates to CS5 and CS5.5, and that Adobe expect you to do a lot of the research into problems yourself, as they often don't know the cure. I know that DPS is very complex - but all the more reason to invest in better trained support staff.

The Folio Builder panel, design-wise...

Part of my job is to teach routined InDesign users how to build Folio's. Most of them do quite well, after their initial confusion with the Interaction panels ("which do and which don't work with ADPS"). But the panel they fear most, is definitely the Folio Builder. Not even because of its casual malfunctioning (that's my nightmare as a trainer), but mainly because of its design and cosmetics. The panel sports a well-know and trusted appearance, but it's a devil in disguise.
It begins with logging-in. "No, you can't click the bull's-eye, it's just a mysterious indicator." It would be much more obvious if it looked like a led (red or green) or if it had some useful interaction to it - letting you log in/out perhaps...
Next, the three-tiered views are not clear enough. When I show them the image below, and tell them how their workflow moves from left to right and from right to left (from "Account" to "Folio" to "Article" to "Layout" and v.v.) they immediately 'get it'. And after warning them that the navigational elements on top of the panel are quite clueless (what to hit, to go where to), and that you're often thrown back from Layout to Folio (skipping Article), they're in charge and on guard. Finally, I tell them that the "New" button magically changes its functionality in each level ("wait for the pop-up!"). It is highly unusual that a side menu shows and hides certain commands in each level. It should list ALL associated commands, and show momentarily unavailable ones grayed out.
This all wouldn't be necessary if the panel would be a bit more self-explanatory. I hope this rant helps to improve its design.

very good. these all need to be addressed. the experience of the folio
builder panel is bad... I have so many ideas of a redesign in my mind, but
I'm not in charge. maybe this thread can turn into a design ideaas for the
Panel.
good start, Peter!

Can't log into Folio Builder panel. Wont verify CC Membership. Indesign or DPS bug?

I have tried to log in to see my folios in the folio Builder panel. However it as for AdobeID. I am logged into my CC Account already. so when the builder panel trys to verify it just spins and spins and tells me to enter password again. any help would be nice. I have update panel and deleted the OOCM file or that is what I think I read to do on this forum. Thanks in advance for any direction.

Well mate, I've got inDesign CC and have similar issue. Mine is saying no internet, connect and try again... I contacted CC centre and they are saying I have to wait for 24 hours until SAB ( which I am not sure what it is) to be removed and the account will be activated. I must say Adobe charged me for the CC first and payment has been made.
I recommend you to contact their centre and explain to them what is happening. The other way, try to sign in to your creative cloud first and then run your inDesign CC and see how you go.
Kind regards,
Calvin

Hi John! You mentioned that it will be down the evening of March 12th, do you have any idea what time? We'd like to keep working and uploading content, but want to make sure that we don't screw anything up. Thanks!
