Pan & zoom in Content Viewer on Mac

I've inserted a "pan & zoom" overlay into my digital pub and it's working fine. But...
Can i simulate the "pinch" technique of an iPad user in the Adobe Content Viewer on the Mac?
Is tapping "-" and "+" the only thing available?

You can do the pinch technique with a PDF. Download the DPS tips Effets on the AppStore, and you will see it in page 2
Works only in the iPad Viewer; not on the Desktop Viewer or any other mobile device platform.

Pinch and zoom with Content Viewer

Question regarding the Content Viewer -- I noticed the pinch and zoom does not appear to work with DPS files viewed in the content viewer. Once the files are built for final and submitted, will there be pinch and zoom available or does DPS prevent that from being available on the iPad? Thanks.

Pinch and zoom only works with pages created with PDF graphic format and with no interactivity.

Content Viewer on Mac not previewing

I have been able to preview my test folios on the iPad, but for some reason I have never got Content Viewer on my Mac to work. I use InDesign CS5.5 and Content Viewer 1.4. When it tries to load a .folio file the blue bar gets to the end and it hangs. Does the same thing with anything I try and preview... have reinstalled everything about 5 times... any ideas? Thanks very much.

The current desktop content viewer version number is 1.8 -- so your content viewer is out of date- might not be the entire solution to your issue but could have something to do with it.

Pan/Zoom - activation delay on iPad Content Viewer

I am able to create an image/frame and turn on PAN & ZOOM in the Interactive Overlays panel.
However, when I preview it on my iPad...it is difficult to activate the pan/zoom interactivity:
It seems I have to tap the image once, then wait about 4-5 seconds, then I can pan/zoom by pinching, ad then, to "reset" it, I have to double tap.
Is this the correct process? It seems confusing and counterintuitive? Am I doing something incorrectly in InDesign/Content Viewer, etc?

That is the behaviour of the pan and zoom overlay. The only part that is odd is the 4-5 second delay after the tap. How many pixels in each dimension is the content you have inside the overlay? If it is very large it will take a long time to load.

What's the best webcam for Mac with tilt/pan/zoom?

I am trying to find a good quality webcam to use for videoconferencing with my Mac (MacBook Air actually). The camera is to be positioned on the 60-inch screen on the wall in our boardroom so the built-in Facetime camera doesn't do the job. It needs to have tilt/pan/zoom (in software). When I started on this search I had no idea such a thing was going to be so hard to find. There is no shortage of such products for Windows but I can't find a single one for the Mac.
There are a lot of webcams that claim to support Mac but on closer investigation not a single one of them (that I've found so far anyhow) provides any conrol features like tilt/pan/zoom - nor even brightness and contrast control for that matter. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places because it's hard to believe the Mac world really is lacking such products. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Would be much appreciated.

You're most welcome, Julie.

If you are still shopping, you might be able to find a compatible used camcorder at a local store that sells used cameras or electronics. One with a failed tape mechanism that otherwise works would likely be very low priced. The same store may also have compact tripods.
Because your MBA is so portable, it is easy to take with you so you can test any camcorder before you buy to be certain it meets your needs.

Why isn't pinch & zoom working in articles viewed on Adobe Content Viewer

I'm not sure why I'm not able to get the pinch & zoom feature to work when viewing articles on iPad Adobe Content Viewer? I've saved my DPS articles as PDF, but it's not working. I'm on a first generation iPad with ioS 4.3.3, with Adobe Content Viewer version 2.9. I've tried saving the article in a variety of versions from v20 to v23, but no luck. I appreciate your help. Thank you.

Hello Neil,
I was following your posts. I am making a folio with the article type set to PDF.
Still the PDF only can zoom in the vertical version and not in the horizontal version. Also the PDF is with zooming not sharp!
What do I have to do to make everything work well!

Interactive elements and even article zoom sometimes freezes on first page in Adobe Content Viewer r31.

Interactive elements and even article zoom sometimes freezes on first page of articles in Adobe Content Viewer release 31 (tested on iPad 3 and iPad Air). If user swipe to second page and return back to first page, all elements works normal again.
Interactive elements are mostly buttons for changing states of multi-state objects, or buttons for opening URL in build-in browser.
What could be the reason? Is there some bug in ACV r31? Or it alocates more memory for the application, so there is less memory left for the content? It wasn't happen before in r30.

hello, me the same thing is happening. I made a folio and he usually worked before the last update of content viewer. the multi-state buttons also freeze and take to work. This bug will be fixed in the next update?

Acrobat Content Viewer 2.1 Mac

Hi everybody!
I have a doubt regarding the utilization of the desktop viewer for Mac "Acrobat Content Viewer" (updated to the version 2.1.0 with the last couple of patches DigitalPublishing-Tools and FolioPanel).
What happens is that I launch it and it is ok until I drag&drop one single .folio file but I am not able to load the entire publication which is composed of several .folio files because if I select multiple .folio files the "Acrobat Content Viewer" does not accept them!
What I was expecting was that by drag&drop the .zip file that I had downloaded after publishing and exporting from my DPS dashboard I could be able to preview it on my Mac desktop with the "Acrobat Content Viewer" instead it seems it does not work, so the question is: do I have a wrong version of "Acrobat Content Viewer" or it simply is not a feature to preview an entire publication on my desktop?
Thanks!

I've never known this to be a feature in the Desktop Content Viewer. It will view a single .folio file. Some publishing systems will combine all of your folio files into a single folio file so it could be viewed that way.
Someone feel free to correct me if they know otherwise.

Adobe's Pan|Zoom component not fitting the content area

I'm calling centerView method on handleLoadComplete event (ImageViewer.as) so the image will be adjusted to fit the content area when load is complete, but I'm having problems when testing this on Internet Explorer. Using Firefox it works fine, but on IE it only works after pressing Ctrl + F5.
Do you know how can I fix this?

Hi.
Making it zoom and pan was a bit tricky, but I had it done
two months ago (in july). The integration of the pan zoom with
callout ("kind of spots on the map", the other published FIG
componet) repositioning was bit tricky.
I solved it with pointTransformations, but it was too
expansive, in terms of memory. In my first trial, theyre positions
were recalcuted as you pan and zoom.
Now, in the version I published here
http://www.gabriela.trindade.nom.br/?p=61
you dont hav smooth zooming, and the callouts only are
repositioned after your drop the map.
I am working now on it. Im probably going to make then blurry
or transparent while panning, but as I got this message from the
foruns and I had promissed another guy who contacted me a (working)
version, I decided to publish it on my blog.
Hope it will be usefull.
Please, be aware that not really a small application: it has
lots of classes. Please read it all before contacting me with any
doubts.
Best luck :0)

Is there a way to zoom out the viewing window of mac applications?

Is there a way to zoom out the viewing window of mac applications? I know for sure in safari I can zoom out, but it reverts to the original size as soon as I close out the window. I would really like to do this in safari and mail.
Thank you.

Try system Preferences/Accessibility/Zoom.

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:

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.

OS 10.7 MAC Content Viewer not working

Any known issues with 10.7 OS and content viewer? Updated Air but still not loading anything? Works on CPU with 10.6.

CS6. Lots of testing on Friday and looks like the servers here at work interfere with the content viewer.
Can anyone explain why this is the case? Even if we just test a black document as a local overlay preview?
If we disconnect from all servers then it works fine. But that's not practical seeing as how we need to share the files with other designers and editors.

Pan & zoom overlay will not pan until after user has zoomed in or out

I've been trying to lay out a large table of data so that when you first see the page, it's zoomed right out. It's just an imported png image, with its own frame defining over what area of the screen it should be visible, and then set to pan & zoom mode using the overlay creator).
In this initial state, the width of the image matches that of the frame; only the bottom part of the image is hidden by being outside the frame.
So it needs to be able to pan at any time regardless of the zoom level, so that a user can see all the content. But what's happening is that it refuses to respond to any swipe (i.e. pan) gestures until you have first zoomed in or out to some extent. Once you've done that the panning works perfectly in all directions.
I've experimented with different aspect ratios & relative sizes of the content & the frame, but the same thing always happens, so this seems to be deliberate. Does anyone know of any workarounds, or any options in the viewer builder (which we don't yet have) that might fix this?

I think this has to do with the fact that you have to "activate" the interactive overlay with a single tap. After that you can pinch and zoom. Before that, even a swipe is not possible.
That is different for the action "Pan only", wich is automatically activated.
I hope this will get fixed in the future. We need the autoplay option even for Pan & Zoom for instant access to that interactive overlay.

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.

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.
Adam

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.
