Smooth Scrolling : folio size VS article size

Hi
I'd like to create a smooth scrolling article just like in DPS TIPS "Effects" by Bob Bringhurst.
I follow the steps from the article but it does not work.
What I want to to is to have a 1024*768 (horizontal only) folio that includes articles that may be longer than 768 height (let's say 1024*2000).
If I create a 1024*768 FOLIO and import articles that are 1024*2000
i cannot upload because it says :
Error generating content.
[Error: The proportions of the page size must match the folio.]
If I create a 1024*2000 (example) FOLIO and then import articles that are exactly 1024*2000
- it works (well I can upload) but i can only import articles that have the exact dimensions of the folio, the DPS TIPS says "you can mix and match Smooth Scrolling and non sooth scrolling articles in a folio".
And then the problem is I never ever see the folio on my Content Viewer on the iPad then.
I can only see it it the Folio Producer.
There's a point that says "You cannot create horizontal smooth scrolling article, the workaround is to create scrollable frames, which can now include interactive overlays"
What bugs me is that in the example we can see an Horizontal Smooth Scrolling (1024*2000 just like in my examples and tests)
If the only workaround is to cretae scrollables frames, I'll do so but maybe I just missed something ?

yes it has/had.
i closed eveything, did everything again and now it works, maybe it was just a bug or i missed something, everything's fine for now thanx !

Smooth scrolling articles

Hello,
I was testing the smooth scrolling articles, but I realised it only works with a single-page.
Is there any option in order to create a file which has the same performance for multiple pages?
Thanks very much!
Alessandra.

I f what your asking is what I think it is...no. Smooth scrolling makes single page articles only.

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.

Smooth scrolling articles viewed on the Content Viewer going out of shape

When a smooth scrolling article is shared and viewed on the Content Viewer the last section of the article is often doubled in size. It looks peculiar and it becomes impossible to read. Are you aware of the situation? Is there a solution to this?

Hi Neil! Thank you very much for replying so quickly. I am not sure what the acronym ACV means. The display of the smooth scrolling articles on the iPad is perfect. It goes weird only in the Content Viewer. I checked the smooth scrolling articles made accross all the brands own by Rogers and I certify that the problem happens with all the smooth scrolling articles.

Can you hyperlink to a section of a smooth scrolling article?

I have a folio that uses smooth scrolling instead of page scrolling. The page is really long so I want to create a jump to menu that will jump down the page to the desired section. I thought that creating a text anchor destination would work, but after trying different ways I've found that it doesn't.
Is there a way to navigate a smooth scrolling article?

Did you download DPS Tips from the App Store? Here's a link to the specific article:

Smooth Scrolling Article, Anchors, and Static Navigation

Hi!
Quick question on a smooth scrolling article:
Let's say I have a very wide article, roughly 30,000 pixels wide with lots of photos, info, etc.. Would it be possible to have a "floating" navigation on top of this wide article?
Something sort of like this: http://i.gyazo.com/a3e5266bb08fcc7625710ff0bb0c86fa.png
The article would of course continue via the smooth scroll style.. but those square buttons below: I know I could link them to smooth scroll to a certain % of the page, but what if I want them to be available down there regardless if I keep scrolling right? In a sense, a "fixed" navigation for the page.
Thank you.

I see. Hmm.. I bet one solution that would answer both the smooth scrolling, the navigation, and the memory problem would be:
What if I have say 20 pages, that are horizontal format. Each one has the timeline at the bottom which links to the corresponding page, such as a month (Jan) for page 1.
The client basically wants a long, seamless sequence of events in a timeline style where when you swipe left or right, they feel connected but have their own images, info, etc., but the background would be seamless. They want a way to navigate between each event via a timeline at the bottom.

Smooth scrolling long articles still snaps on iPad retina and mini

I have some long articles (between 6000px and 9000px). On the iPad 1 the smooth scroll works fine, but on the iPad retina and mini the articles are snapping to undefined points in the article. Now the articles are impossible to read on the iPad retina and mini. Using PFD or JPG in the article properties doesn’t matter.
Anyone knows why this works on iPad 01 and doesn’t work in the retina and mini version? THX
Bests, Puck

Hi Bob,
Thank you for replying.
I just need one image in each state though -- that is shown anytime a user clicks on a button, so how would I limit the functionality of an image sequence to just show one photo while creating an MSO with a button? Would that mean creating a folder per image with one 01.jpg image in it and then making these 3 placeholders into an MSO? It seems to me that an image sequence is not providing the functionality I want and this is some sort of a hack unless I am misunderstanding its function.
Sounds like a lot of redudant work instead of having a simpler way to show an MSO with high-res photos on an iPad 3/4 and smaller images on iPad 1/2 and Mini.
Thanks,
Alon

How do I add a fixed object on a smooth scrolling article?

I'm looking to create a smooth scrolling article, but I want to have a button stationery at the top of the screen. The content of the rest of the article will scroll behind it.
Is this possible?

Place the button on the next article (on the right side of the article where you want your button).
Move the button to the left, beside the page (imagine the article where it should be on the left of it).
Group it with a blank rectangle that's on the page.
Place your button on every page of the second article, otherwise you see it only when that article is on the firts page (place it on the masterpage). That article must be a fixed scrolling article.
This works perfect.

Batch DPS Article Import Breaks Smooth Scrolling Pages

When will the batch "import" support the ability to import ENTIRE folio's that contain both "snap-to" and "smooth-scrolling" pages?
Currently one must add stacks indiviually if they wish to have smooth scrolling stacks incorporated into thier folio.

Your absolutely right about that! And that's a great thought. Don't know why i didn't think of it.
On the sidecar.xml note however:
Besides the third-party web site that generates the sidecar file for folks, is there anything in the works to allow users to simply export the metadata directly from the Producer:Editor in the DPS Dashboard? Many users are not aware of the third-party website and with the renditions and iPad3 coming into full swing I believe it would help to ensure that any metadata that was entered manually gets matched to the rendition folio.
For users that are intimidated by xml and are too lazy to find the xml generator web-site. The ability to get at that metadata would be a nice feature to have for editorial and the like.

Smooth Scrolling articles longer than 2000px?

I have an article I'd like to use smooth scrolling on and I'm familiar with the 2000 pixel limitation mentioned on the adobe forums. But I'm seeing lots of smooth scrolling articles in various DPS magazines with lengths much longer than 2000px..
What allows you to go longer than 2000 pixels?
-Bob

There is no 2000px limitation. That was an old guideline for scrollable frames.

Smooth Scrolling Pages - Memory Error (while uploading)

Landscape Magazine Article:
iPad version is 2048x6144 (4 pages tall, but smooth scrolling). This one uploads without problem.
iPhone 5 version is 1136x4000. Same layout as iPad, only font sizes are bumped up for readability. Content Generation Error: Out Of Memory
Happens every time. Isolated now to the smooth scrolling pages that get converted from ipad to iphone. The uploader fails on page 1 of the content generation stage. It's like there's a cache limit while it's building the folio article. What's strange is that this issue doesn't appear on a full-sized ipad version of the same layout. Workaround has been to split the layout into separate pages, which is a comprimise more than a workaround. Anybody experience this? Is there a way get these pages to upload?

Hi,
For a better troubleshooting, I suggest you can do as the followings:
1. You can create a new page library to test if it works.
2. I suggest you can check the ULS log for detailed error message, it will be easier to figure out the issue. By default, the ULS log of SharePoint 2013 is located at the path:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS
You can use ULS Viewer to see the detailed error message.
Here are some detailed articles for your reference:

Smooth Scrolling Doubts

Hi, people
I'd like to understand better how works the feature Smooth Scrolling. Because when I create a big page, ie: 1024 px (width) x 3000 px (height). This page, now, is portrait in Folio Builder, instead of landscape (1024 x 768 px)
I have many problems to create big pages and in most of the case I recieve this mensage error, when I try update the article.
Content generation error.
[Error: The page size aspect ratio must match the folio aspect ratio.]
In my last tried I managed upload one layout (1024 x 3000 px) like Portrait - worked well. But when I tried upload the Landscape (big page too) - 3000 x 768 px I didn't get.
I know that is possible have just one page (each orientations) per article, that's right?
Thanks a lot for some help

Thanks, Levine
But, even change the name to _h dosen't works. Just Vertical
Please, read the mensage from Bob - Adobe about alike issue
Bob Bringhurst
Smooth Scrolling is vertical only. You can’t use Smooth Scrolling to scroll a page horizontally. You may want to use a large scrollable frame, but leave a little room to let the user swipe to the next article.

Will be that Smooth Scrolling is vertical only?? If there are three diferent options in articles subnemu in Folio Builder Panel.
I'm a little confused
Thanks a lot

Smooth Scrolling made clear and easy

A new folio appeared in Bob Bringhurst's jewel app "DPS Tips", discussing all kinds of special content and interaction. In the Smooth Scrolling section it states that you cannot create Smooth Scrolling articles simply by "Adding" an article. This should be achieved by "Importing" Articles. And it specifically states that you can't create horizontally scrolling articles. This baffles me ! I know it can be a bit tricky, but when explained and understood carefully, there's no problem in using the "Add" button or even to create a horizontally scrolling article on the fly.
The tricky part is, how the InDesign file (an article's half) is 'born'. To be able to use the "Add" button to create a properly scrolling article, you must check that the Document Setup upon making a new file (or even later on) is set to the proper single-page size (in a 3:4 dimension) and with the desired orientation (landscape or portrait), before you hit the "Add" button. Because this is where the Folio Builder gets its information from about the dimension and orientation. Afterwards, you set the page's length with the Page Selection tool – but take care: ONLY the length ! DO NOT use the width or orientation properties with this tool, nor use the Height setting in the Document Setup, although these seem very obvious for this task. You can even correct a page afterwards, and get the "adding" right (and lengthen it properly) if it has been malformed and unaccepted by the Folio Builder before.
So, to conclude: start a scrolling page with a single page, normal size (1024x768), landscape or portrait, add it to the Folio, and then lengthen the page with the Page tool's Height setting. Don't forget to set the Smooth Scrolling option accordingly among the Article's properties in the Folio Builder panel. No big deal !

That's indeed the culprit: when you have already set the elongated landscape page upon New Document. But it's still easy to correct that afterwards: switch it back to 768 in Document Settings (the cropped content becomes invisible but remains in place), aAdd the layout (it will become the landscape version), and stretch the page to the desired length with the Page tool's Height property.
Both methods can be difficult, depending on the way you prefer to work. Visual designers who already find it hard to keep track of a Package folder will shiver upon seeing the rigid hierarchy of a Folio folder; technical users won't mind preparing a folder stucture like that. Using ADPS requires many more unlogical steps than just this, like updating a design (not at folio or layout level, but only the whole Article) or discovering that one missing or extraneous orientation prevents the folio to be previewed.
So either way it is fishy...
But I'm glad that this aspect will be tackled by an update, soon !

Smooth-scrolling layouts

Hi everybody,
I tried to use a suggestion described by Colin Fleming in one of his video regarding "Smooth-scrolling layouts" but it seems I am not able to make it work (I get an error from Folio Builder).
Do anyone has been able to create a .folio with 768x2000px size with scrolling effect (just like described in the video of Colin seen on Adobe TV)?
Maybe after the update there has been a change and now what Colin showed is no valid anymore?
Thanks in advance for every reply!
Bye!

Hi Bob,
here you can see the error (the translation should be: "Content generation error. [The proportion of the page must match with the proportion of the folio.]").
Actually I have created a 768x1024 folio and I have imported as a single article the stack containing the Indesign files with 768x2000px dimensions... so I believe the error refers to this... but I have understood in the Colin's video that he succedeed in importing an Indesign file with different size.
Thank you Bob in any case for your help!
Bye!

Set smooth scrolling bug when importing

Hi,
if I import an HTML article and I set smooth scrolling (here) to both, it will not be activated. I have to enter the article properties a second time and set smooth scrolling again. I'm using the latest v29 tools in InDesign CC. Can anyone confirm this bug?
Thanks,
Yves

Are you viewing this from the Folio Overlays panel, or the Folio Builder? I get this when viewing in
the Overlays panel, as its being shown out of context to your actual folio, so you get the entire page
size with no scrolling.
