No scrollable frames in overlay creator

Hi All, I use 7.5.5.17 tools, and have no sign of having to upgrade my tools...but there should be an new option in the overlay creator.
scrollable frames, but it is not there, only pan and zoom to make scrollable frames...
How come???
regards, Anne

That's not necessarily true - I had the same tools as my co worker and for a short time I didn't have the scrollable frame option, but he did
then one day it appeared
we both checked in extension manager and we were running the same tools and same version
maybe reinstall the tools?

  • Scrollable Frame issue on iPad 'Adobe Viewer'

    I'm wondering if anyone else has this issue when previewing a folio with the iPad viewer.
    The issue is when I have a full (or even part) page scrollable frame on a page and once I have vertically swiped/scrolled to the end of the scrollable frame, then the next vertical swipe seems to stick much more than usual and requires a much longer/sustained swipe to get it to move on to the next page.
    This issue is only occuring when previewing a folio on the iPad viewer. It behaves as expected (short normal swipes) when previewed on the Desktop 'Content Viewer'. It also behaves as expected when simply previewing from the Folio Overlays panel – both on the Desktop viewer and iPad viewer. It also behaves if I import the article as PNG format into a folio, however I am requiring vector quality/display for this project so can't ignore the issue.
    It also does not fix the issue to select 'raster' rather than 'vector' in export options within the 'scrollable frame' folio overlay panel.
    My first thought was that maybe this is just a quirk of the iPad viewer, but the fact that the behaviour works in most other scenarios has me guessing. Maybe i am missing something somewhere which may explain this. I see the use of Scrollable Frames in this manner within many apps (in vector/PDF) without experiencing this issue, hence why I am leaning towards it being a quirk of the viewer when as a folio with a PDF scrollable frame.
    I am using the latest viewers (Desktop and iPad app). The folio's tested trying to resolve this issue have been in both v26 and v27. Using InDesign CS6 on Mac. Same issue happens whether iPad is horizontal or vertical.
    Please let me know if you need any further details on my setup or what i have been testing if that will help.
    Thanks
    Ross

    i had this problem once, in the folio producer have you given the folio a name, number and description?
    also in the viewer on the ipad they are not nessecarily in the right order - so scoot about on it
    if all else fails, delete the folio and re-upload, we had a glitch once and the only solution was to re upload

  • Scrollable Frame solution for EPUB Fixed Layout

    Hi,
    I have found a solution (or, rather a hack) which allows us to create scrolling frames for EPUB Fixed Layouts.
    You can find the exported EPUB, as well as my InDesign file on my Dropbox: EPUB scroll.
    This solution has some weak points and has only been tested in iBooks on an iPad with iOS 8, but here's how it works:
    Create two text frames (one as big as your text requires, and one which will be the container [tip: make the container a bit wider than the text frame])
    Cut the big text frame, select the smaller container frame, and Edit->Paste into
    Right click on the container, select Object Export Options, choose EPUB and HTML and enter "subchapter" as epub:type:
    Open a text editor and create a new CSS file. For CSS code, see below
    Export as Fixed layout EPUB. In the export dialog box, select the CSS tab and add the previously created CSS file
    Done!
    CSS code:
    div[*|type = "subchapter"] {
    position: relative;
    div[*|type = "subchapter"] > div {
    overflow: auto;
    As you see, steps 1 and 2 are essentialy the same as for creating a scrollable frame folio overlay.
    It’s not perfect, and this solution is just a proof-of-concept, but it should get you going.
    An obvious problem is that we use basic HTML scrollbar, which is not being displayed in e-book readers such as iBooks on the iPad. Hence, the user has now idea how long the scrollable content stretches. This could probably be solved with a more complex, JS-based solution.
    Also, the gradient feather at the bottom (which is intended to create a "fade-out effect) seems not to export well. This one should be easy to solve, placing another rectangle with a gradient in it. But I’m not sure if transparency exports well, and haven’t tested it.
    Feel free to use, and improve, this hack!
    Thanks,
    /Jacob

    Thank you Uwe,
    I look and hold you aware of your solution in an environment EPUB

    @Papo – then I would suggest not a scrollable frame, but an MSO you can click through showing the whole text.
    1. Do some text frames the same size
    2. Thread all the text frames to one story
    3. Align the text frames
    4. Make a MSO out of it:
    The text frames are still threaded and text can easily flow between them.
    5. Do some navigation buttons to control the MSO states:
    "Go To First State", "Go To Next State", "Go To Previous State" etc.
    Later you can change the text (add or remove, do different formatting) flowing in that story through the states.
    A very flexible solution. Ok, it's not a scrollable frame, but something like that…

  • Where is the "Scrollable Frame" on the Overlay Creator panel?

    I can't seem to find the "Scrollable Frame" on my Overlay Creator panel and now I'm caught in the middle. Is there anything that I missed? I can only see the following:
    Hyperlink
    Slideshow
    Image Sequence
    Audio & Video
    Panorama
    Web Content
    Pan & Zoom.

    I know you mean the other Bob, but the purpose of that is to have something to align with the edge of the scrollable content.
    Without the dummy content you wouldn’t be able to position the content. Try doing it without that and you’ll see the problem.

  • Failed to load the folio. Pan Only, Scrollable Frame Overlay

    Hello All,
    I get the error "Failed to load the folio." when previewing a page in the Content Viewer with a scrollable frame overlay using this technique described here:
    Create scrollable frames using Pan Only:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f605e8ea44412b13edc5ec-80 00.html
    I checked the KB but the solution to remedy the problem is vague. I am not using any offending characters and what's odd is that I can pan and zoom images without a problem. When I try to scroll the text I get the error.
    The folio I am testing is a new document, there is no other content other than this text frame. I've compiled other folios without a hitch but this is the first instance I am using this technique. The workstation I am working on had the prerelease tools on it then upgraded to the most current version about a week ago.
    I am guessing that maybe the prerelease tools were not properly removed and that could possibly be a problem? If so what files am I looking for or is there a link someone can provide?
    Or maybe the current tools/Content Viewer need to be removed and installed again? Again, what files need to be removed?
    Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.
    D.

    Hey Peter,
    Thanks for the link. I have tried both techniques, the layer and the paste into and both yeild the same result with the "Failed to load the folio." error. I also forgot to mention that I am using CS5.

  • New Overlay Creator tools (Pullout Tabs)

    Hello DPS community,
    My question is in regards to the new tools available in DPS. I have created my folio for my senior degree project over the last few months. I have a 3rd generation iPad that I am previewing my project with the new version of Content Viewer.
    I would like to use some of the new tools available in the latest version of the Overlay Creator, mostly for the new pan & zoom features like those Pullout Tabs Adobe has shared with us on the DPS tips app. However my Overlay Creator panel must not be up to date because it does not display these new functions like Scrollable Frame. How can I update my Overlay Creator Panel so that I can take advantage of these new features? Do I just run an update on InDesign or do I have to download a new version of the Overlay Creator? Also will updating the Overlay Creator Panel negatively effect my overall project in any way? I am a little hesitant to update because everything works well as is and I don't want to break it and go into freakout mode. Has anyone had any experiences updating to the new tools, any problems while previewing or creating on InDesign. I am waiting to hear back before I attempt to update.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ryan

  • How to access the Text Frame, when we use scrollable frame,

    Hi Friends,
    How to access the Text Frame, when we use scrollable frame,
    Thank you,
    [ Nav ]

    That's the same question:
    how can I access something (a page item) on a page…
    Answer: you need something unique in that object you can get a handle on.
    Or you use the selection a user of your script is doing and work with that selection…
    A "scrollable frame" is nothing special. What it makes it a "scrollable frame" is the DPS software.
    So you have to look for attached labels on the object, that identify the object for the PDS plug-in "Overlay Creator" as a "scrollable frame". That's possible with the "extractLabel("KeyString")" function. But you need to know the appropriate key-string in advance.
    In another of your thread in the DPS forum, I basically answered the question how to obtain those key-strings.
    When knowing the key-string you could loop through all your page items (you can skip all text frames) in the allPageItems-collection, to identify the "scrollable frame" by extracting the right label.
    If you have more than one "scollable frames" you need a second unique identifier for the particular object.
    That could be nearly any property.
    Keep in mind, there is no "scrollableFrames" collection in the DOM !

  • Scrollable frames. Buttons not working.

    Hello.
    I have a problem with buttons in the scrollable frames.
    I have a slideshow with a thumb's. Each thumb consist of MSO (non active icon and active icon) and clear frame - button to that MSO and to slide foto. The thumb's grouped and placed into the frame with horizontal scroll overlay effect.
    That frame placed into another frame-pull out tab, which have vertical scroll effect. And when I pressed the button, slide fotos changes correctly, but button MSO not working.
    See files from dropbox --  https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rsbf1jto3a39jug/IVcQxaYJOW
    Sorry for my english. I need help very much.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I understand that I can use two 'states'  of the buttons. And I tried it. But. Buttons renditions are raster images. And on the retina display we had bad quality. My target was to create vector buttons. With good quality on both displays.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi (again),
    It seems that you built your stuff in a very complicated way.
    First, try to make simple!
    You mixed MSO and buttons functions. Useless and unfonctional.
    Yous should use only button panel, with two different 'states' ('Normal' and 'Clic').
    See below (no MSO function used at all for the button):

    Use the layer panel to easily select the objects you want to modify.

  • Problems with scrollable frames

    I have an old DPS file that has videos inside a scrollable frame and they work fine. However, i am updating my files and in the new CS6/cc when i create the content, I group all the items, cut and paste into the smaller textframe and when i go to the Folio Overlays panel with the text frame highlighted, the option for scrollable frames is greyed out.  Video is highlighted but it will not allow me to create a scrollable frame.  Does anyone have a recommendation for what i am doing wrong. 

    You are correct, I missed your point.
    I got it this time though and it worked!
    Wow, nifty work around.  Thanks.
    Now that I have successfully embedded video within the scrollable frame, I am concerned about the 2 GB max from apple.
    I researched streaming video and successfully tested this, however it seems the frame for the video needs to be scaled to the preferred viewable size because there is not an option for “play full screen”.  As you can see in the screenshot below, I am trying to place the video under the play button using streaming content. 
    Do you know if this is possible?

  • Scrollable frame

    I have 6 test boxes all the same size lined up side-by-side.
    They are grouped and pasted into a box that is exactly the same height, but not as wide.
    I selected "pan only" in the overlay creator.
    When I view it on the iPad, it scolls left-to-right just fine, but there is also a slight amount of vertical scrolling happening.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Best I can explain it, original code which works fine animation and frame change smooth etc:
    JFrame --> JPanel (frame contentPanel) --> extended Canvas structure is setup
    Canvas buffer strategy set to manual
    Strategy stored to variable (strategy) using Canvas.getBufferStrategy
    Game loop is started
    Graphics2D object obtained using strategy.getDrawGraphics
    Loops through entities in games (space ships in my case)
    Updates positions etc
    Draws to Graphics2D object (which is still in buffer and remains there)
    Graphics cleared and buffer flipped to on screen using graphics.dispose() and strategy.show() methods
    Then changed to:
    JFrame --> JScrollPane (frame contentPanel) --> extended JPanel structure is setup
    Game loop is started
    Graphics object obtained using JPanel.getGraphics
    Loops through entities in games (space ships in my case)
    Updates positions etc
    Draws to Graphics2D object (which is still in buffer and remains there)
    Graphics cleared graphics.dispose()
    The game still works but its all flickery (best way to describe)
    Don't know if you'll be able to give a solution using that info, it's getting late so if not ill do the SSCCE tommorrow.
    Thanks a bunch.

  • Video nested into scrollable frame

    hi everyone...in past versions of dps tools, i can made a scrollable frame with photos and video in one group into the scrollable frame ..now i can't (the folio overlay option is not activate)....do you know why? or how can i make that now? is for the v29 dps tools?
    thanks

    Hi Bob -- I just encountered this bug. I wanted to paste a set of images and a video in a scrolling frame, which as discussed in January, doesn't work anymore. I'm in v30. Have they fixed this? What I had to do was make 2 sets. One group of images and one group of images and the video. Pasted just the images, set up the scroll, then deleted them and pasted in the second set with the video. Ack! Any better way? Thanks, Beth

  • Problem with Pullout Tab/Scrollable Frame

    I've designed a pullout tab and in the Scrollable Frame Overlay I've specified "Horizontal" as the scroll direction. Now, with Desktop Preview everything looks fine. On the iPad however, the frame can be moved around in all kind of directions - up, down, left, right, even in circles (so to speak).
    When I copied the frame to another empty page for test purposes, everything worked as planned with Desktop Preview and on the iPad. So then I added the rest of my content to that test page and voila, the problem resurfaced.  I also have other pages with pullout tabs in the same folio that work just fine. I'm lost to what causes this behaviour in this one article.
    Anyone had this before?
    Thanks.

    My mistake, I meant the layers panel. Try renaming your graphic frames to samething unique.

  • Can't swipe to next article on scrollable frame?

    Hi,
    I'm not sure what's happening here. I've got a page with a scrolling frame which covers the whole page, frame is set to scrolling, scroll direction is vertical only. I've just updated some of the scrollabe content and now when I view on iPad I can't swipe to the next article, the swipe to next article worked fine yesterday, all content and links work OK I just can't get off the page now... any suggestions?

    So Okay,
    Excuse the lame design (only 10 minutes of my lunch break left)
    So I quickly mocked up a 768x1024 doc (Horizontal)
    Made a Scrollable frame 732x952px to sit on the page bleed at the bottom and within left and right margins
    Created 4000px Deep worth of fake content (Grouped and pasted into the scrolling frame)
    Set to vertical scroll only
    Popped a stickly overlay on top and a background image underneath
    All in seperate layers.
    Imported as a PNG article
    and here are the results.
    All images are screen grabs and the last demonstrates that even with a scrolling frame this long - if you import as png you can still horizontally swipe off it
    All's good!

  • Pan & Zoom option in Overlay Creator disabled/grayed out when trying to create scrolling text

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to create a scrolling text frame using the Paste Into method. I've created a long text frame, cut it, pasted into another frame. When I go to the Overlay Creator and click Pan & Zoom, it tells me to select a cropped image. I've tried an identical work flow on another computer and it works fine - the pan only radio button is available.
    I've reinstalled the CS5 extensions, restarted my Mac and I can't resolve the issue. I only downloaded the extension tools last week, so I'd hope they aren't too out of date now. The About screen tells me I'm on 11.4.2.20111116_m_671500 7.0.3.13
    Any help appreciated.

    The best place to get the new builds is the DPS Dashboard (https://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com). You can also view the detailed help topic about installing:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f60-21ba9a4512e5e5e0b8d-7 ffe.html
    If you install the Folio Producer tools and then the Folio Builder panel, you should be able to sign in just fine. Let  us know if you still get the error.

  • Scrollable Frames bugs

    Hi,
    I got some errors with drop 19 while creating my first magazine....
    1. Horizontal slider, placed on the left side. On the right side is an image with a contour and a textflow (nor sure whats the name for that n english...). If you scroll the text horizontally to the left, the textflow is as if the image is placed in the text. The issue is, that theres a bug with the overlay and placed mages on top of it, it thinks it is placed within the scrollable text
    2. You cannot leave a page without a button when the scrollable text area is too big. I think at the end of the srollable text the page should flip. Users might be confused if nothing happens. This must be fixed soon. As i have a single license and a tight time frame, i cannot fix it later (without paying for it again..). Drop 19 is nearly useless with.scrollable frames, i read a couple of ther reports naming that issue...
    Hope to get some jelpfull answers. In my opninion, the whole dps is in early beta. I started using it with drop 9, the handling is better now, but some fetures are still missing...
    Kind regards
    Simon

    Another issue: scrollable text withn a scrollable text is working, but only if the scrolling frame is visible. If it is not visible on lage load, the font site s reduced and not scrolling, it is repeatsble, i can provide indd files if required
