Preview on device from folio overlays panel is fuzzy

I'm new to DPS so I'm sure there's a setting somewhere that I haven't checked, but why is the text fuzzy on my iPad when I preview my article? I have a retina iPad, my document is 1024x768, and I'm using the "Preview on XYZ iPad" function at the bottom of the Folio Overlay panel. What am I doing wrong? It looks fine if I preview the folio in the Folio Builder panel--what's the difference?

When you click Preview at the bottom of the Overlays panel, you preview the layout, not the article or the folio. When you preview the layout, you get PNG or JPG image format, not PDF. For the best preview experience, use the Folio Builder panel to preview either the article or folio. That way, you use the image format of the articles. If your article uses PDF image format, it likely won't be fuzzy. And if you see something fuzzy when previewing, let us know, and we'll help you figure it out.

  • No Preview in Folio Overlays panel

    When I click Preview in the Folio Overlays panel, nothing happens.  The screen tip says the Adobe Viewer application must be open in the foreground, but I can only find the viewer for the iPad, not for the iMac.
    I have the box version of InDesign CS6 installed; I also have the Creative Cloud, and am on Mac OSX 10.8.3. (I didn’t uninstall the box version and reinstall the cloud version.)
    How can I get the Viewer to work in my iMac? I don’t see it in my Applications folder; I don’t see it as a separate download at Creative Cloud, and I don’t see it as an app except for the iPad.

  • Missing web content options and Preview in Folio Overlay panel

    Hello,
    After placing a .oam file into a folio and while it is selected, when I click on the Folio Overlays panel, the web content listing options do not show up at all. Nor is the Preview option available. I saw and used them before when I was working through the tutorial. I sure hope it is something simple I overlooked!
    Thanks,
    Sarah

    That looks strange. With the .oam container frame selected you should see the web content overlay
    Try:
    Close and re-open the overlay panel
    Quit InDesign and relaunch to try again
    Else, try re-installing the DPS tools here Digital Publishing Suite Help | Installing DPS tools

  • Folio Overlays Panel not working

    Update: When I switch to the Digital Publishing Workspace I can open the Folio Overlays panel, but there is nothing in it. Do you need a full DPS subscription in order to access these features? I was under the impression you only needed the full subscription if you wanted to publish to the app store.
    Nothing happens when I try to open the folio overlays panel from the Window menu. Any idea why? I tried resetting the InDesign preferences, but it doesn't seem to have helped. Running CS6, fully updated, Windows 7.

    I have the same exact problem. I have Windows 7 and CS6 Creative Cloud installed (clean install; no older CS installed). I downloaded the DPS Tools for Windows and installed it. Still nothing appears in the Folio Builder panel. I also cannot get the Folio Overlay Panel to appear either.  I got the Folio Overlay panel to appear by resetting the Digital Publishing workspace in the upper right dropdown menu. If I try to set-up a folio from scratch, I cannot get it to create a document. (New > Folio... nada). So it appears that anything folio related is disabled.
    I have the Creative Cloud subscription, which has DPS Single Edition. So I should be able to create folios no problem.
    I am running this on my Mac Pro as well and that works just fine. I make sure to close ID on the machine I am not using to make sure there are no CC licensing issues. So it appears to be only a Windows issue.
    Am I missing something? Hopefully some answers here soon.

  • Preview on iPad through Folio Overlays window of smooth scrolling article.

    Preview on iPad through Folio Overlays window of smooth scrolling article (ex. 1024 x 2000 px) is not working anymore. Article is scaled and turned in vertical orientation. No problem with Folio Builder.

    Thanks for reporting this, I'll pass it on to our test team for investigation and they'll log a bug against a future release if we can reproduce it.

  • In CS6 InDesign (8.0.1) I tried looking for Folio Overlays panel and it doesn't appear...

    In CS6 InDesign (8.0.1) I tried looking for Folio Overlays panel and it doesn't appear. So, I tried to go to Updates under Help menu but the Updates button is deactivated.
    Any ideas?

    Folio Overlays is available under the 'Window' Menu. If it is not available, download it manually, links are available in the following document: Digital Publishing Suite Help | Installing DPS tools

  • Folio Overlays Panel shows no options

    I've placed interactive content in my documents, I've built the folio with all of the my articles and uploaded to the cloud, tested on my ipad etc.
    For some reason, when I click on the interactive content (video, sliding content, etc.) in Indesign and then go to the Folio Overlays panel and select the relevant item (Audio & Video) I get no options, just instructions to "Place an audio or video file and select it..."
    It's the same for each item I've placed—just instructions and no options.
    Has anyone else experienced this and figured out how to fix it?
    Thanks

    This would happen with placed images but when place a mp4 video or mp3 file indesign recognize them as interactive elements on the folio overlay.
    Ok lets break it down. For slideshows images have to be stacked in one MSO. For the rest of the folio overlays try to place them in box ( frame ).

  • InDesign CC - "Create App" option missing from Folio Builder panel

    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
    Mac?

    Yes, a Mac is required to create DPS apps.

  • Folio preview does not work!! since Mandatory Folio Builder Panel update!

    hi everyone
    my grafic team told me that the folio preview in indesign does not work anymore since the required folio builder panel update!
    working on mac and cs 5
    please help
    best regards michael

    I just spoke with a member of our team and they were able to reproduce this issue: invoking folio preview from the file menu brings up an empty panel instead of launching the desktop preview tool. Thanks for bringing it to our attention! There are two ways you can work around this and get the desktop preview application up with your content:
    1) Use the preview button in the Folio Builder panel (this will preview the entire folio)
    2) Use the preview button in the Overlay Creator panel (this will preview the active InDesign document)
    This problem only affects CS5 and CS5.5. If you are on CS6 the menu will work correctly.

  • How do I create an interactive PDF file in InDesign CS6 with Folio Overlays?

    I have been trying to export an interactive PDF file using InDesign CS6. It exports fine, and all the content works except for the Folio Overlays I created. I created two Folio Overlays (one Pan & Zoom and one Scrollable Frame). The overlays work if I preview them from the Folio Overlays panel, but they do not work on the PDF document.
    I am using File >> Export... to create the PDF document, and I am sure the PDF document is of the interactive type and not the print type. Am I exporting it incorrectly? Is there a specific step that I have missed somewhere? Do I need to create a Folio Build to make the Folio Overlays work?
    When I mouse over the Folio Overlays, I get the crosshair cursor which only selects part of the image when I click and drag it.

    PDF is one thing. Folios for DPS is another. There is a little bit of
    overlap but not much.
    The interactivity in the folio overlays panel is for DPS only.

  • Use Preview on Device for Android on Mac - how to make it working?

    We are using preview on iPad through USB connection on daily basis, but now we need to preview on Android as well.
    I've tried setup on following page, but it's not working for me - i have USB Debuging enabled (it's nicely hidden on Jelly Bean 4.2.2 on our Nexus 7), but i can't see device in Folio Builder panel in preview menu (yes, i have Adobe Content viewer as front app)
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS9293e1fb3b977c5c7b1f65ad12f28224932-7f f6.html
    any idea, experience?
    Thanks
    Martin

    Neil Enns - Adobe - We have followed these steps exactly.
    USB Debugging is enabled... but the device NEVER appears in the dropdown...
    We are using the native viewer app, exactly as you have described, and we still cannot get the preview on device to work?? IS there some other process we can use because the instructions in the link you just provided are not working at all.
    See my comment above:
    "Tried everything suggested in this thread but with no luck.
    The mac we are building on is running OSX 10.9.3 and InDesign CC (up to date)
    Android tablet is a samsung note, running Android 4.4.2 (developer mode / USB debugging enabled)"

  • IPad Folio Overlay Preview Only Displays One Orientation at a Time

    I have a simple two page InDesign doc created from the ground up for DPS. It has some text, image, slider overlay, and video embedded, and has a file_v vertical (portrait) layout and file_h horizontal (landscape) layout.
    My problem is when I preview it on a connected iPad, only one orientation is previewed at a time. I double checked my iPad, its orientation is not "locked". I also tried on another iPad and had the same results. For example, only the portrait version is previewed on the iPad no matter how I try and change the iPad orientation. In order to preview the landscape version, I need to go back to my doc, scroll down to the page where the file_h version starts, and hit folio preview from there.
    If I preview on desktop, the Adobe Viewer correctly shows both layout orientations and I can switch between them.
    I only had this problem after recently renaming the doc. I tested an older version of the doc, and had this same problem.
    My question is: might there be a setting or preference somewhere to lock an iPad preview to only one orientatation? I'd really like to get the function back to preview both orientations at the same time to see how they compare.

    Thanks Bob, that was it!
    I was indeed using the folio overlay vs the folio builder.
    From the folio builder panel, I setup a quick test folio and added my current doc, then from the top level folio builder panel, hit the twirly-down for preview on iPad.

  • Urgent: File Folio Preview opens an empty "Folio Preview" panel (ID CS 5.5)

    Hi!
    I just updated The Folio Builder panel, and the command File > Folio Preview does not send the document to the Content Viewer as usual, but opens a new panel called Folio Preview ..., which remains empty.
    I can preview documents as usual using the Preview button at the bottom of the Overlay Creator panel, but not using the menu command. There is a check mark next to the Folio Preview command on the File menu when the panel remains open. (Doing some searches on this forum, there seemed to be a similar problem last October, but I would have thought it should be solved by now.)
    I'm experiencing this problem on both my PC running Windows 7 and my MacBook Pro running Mac OS. (Both laptops are running the Norwegian version of the repective OS.)
    I can work around the problem using the Overlay Creator panel, but if anybody has an explanation and/or solution I would be very grateful. I'm starting a two day course teaching DPS tomorrow, so this is rather urgent.
    Best regards,
    Tom
    PS. I'll try to upload a screen shot shortly to clarify the situation.

    Here's a screen shot (Windows, the Mac version looks and acts identical):
    And here's the version I'm using. Just installed FolioPanel-CS55-12.2.2.1
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
