Strange web view scaling

Not sure anyone will be able to helpbut here goes;
I have a series of articles each with a web view. The html image is set to 400pxls square, and I create my web view 400, so when imported into a 768x1024 folio, the html animation works fine. And this version looks OK on the Retina screen.
But, Now onto a rendition for retina, where I scale the graphics and amend the html, import into indesign as before, but now when testing the html animation scales up 200%, within the web view, so I only see a 1/4 of the animation.
I went onto test on the iphones, again I created 2 versions, std and hi res, the std version works fine on iphone 4 (if very very slightly soft) but the version I created specifically for the retina screen scales up 200% just like on the ipad.
I appreciate this is tough to comment on without the files, but just wondering if anyone else has experienced this yet?
Cheers
Alistair
NB
I also tested the large 800pxl html file on a std size folio, and whilst it is obviously too big for the folio itself it works fine and the graphics themselves view at 100% as they should.
It seems to be that there is definitely something wrong with web views on retina size folios!!

Hi Johannes
Scale content to fit is unreliable in that it does not scale correctly to the proportions of the web view, in testing it appears to be a bit random but around 75-80% of the web view, I guess with trial and error I could achieve my required results, but we are not paying for a trial and error solution, but in any case that does not answer the problem of why the web view works on a folio at 768x1024, but not at retina and like wise on iphone screens; how can safari be acting differently simply between 2 different sizes of folio??
Most bizarre...
PS dont know how or what to do with viewport in a meta tag, thats on the html doc isnt it?
Cheers
Alistair

Strange problem viewing web sites.

Hi everybody,
I am having a strange problem viewing web sites. There are certain web sites that when viewed on my mac certain content that shows up on other computers (mac and pc) does not seem to show up on my mac. At first I thought it was a safari problem and maybe I installed a filter or some thing but regardless what browser I use, the content is not there. For instance: Spinepodium.com one of the sites I am building - I just recently added Google Adsense to the page. When I view the page on other computers (mac and pc) the ads show up just fine. However on my mac it is as if the code is just not there. I have noticed similar things on other pages as well.
Any help would be great.

Video plays for me on the site you posted.
As I suggested, install the Flip4Mac plug-in. After installing, open the preference file via System Preferences>Flip4Mac. On the Plug-in panel, 1st and 3rd boxes are checked. On the Movies panel, 1st box is checked.
Just in case, go to the Utilities folder>Disk Utility and "repair permissions" via the First Aid panel (click on your HD on the left of the window, "repair permissions" will appear on the right. Restart the computer. Try the video in Safari.

Hi Mike,
Never seen that Dev tool before so it won't be in our supported platforms.
I recall something similar and it was due to the screen resolution or zoom level.
Have a look at the source code of the page to see what it is doing. Compare it to a VS .NET ASP.NET app to see what the differences are.
Thank you

Does anybody know why type might render strangely when viewing a PDF in Chrome, Firefox and IE?

Does anybody know why type might render strangely when viewing a PDF in Chrome, Firefox and IE?
I have a client who I create a report for every year. This year there seems to be a problem with the PDFs that I have exported when they are viewed in various web browsers. To elaborate, the type is rendering inconsistently – in Chrome the weight of the type is inconsistent (ranging from light to something more heavy) and in IE the type appears more condensed, and the x-height is variable.
To my knowledge Chrome, Firefox and IE are all affected in one way or another. The problem does not occur in Safari.
We always use Helvetica Neue and have never had problems like this before. I am using the same version of Helvetica Neue as I always use, but even when I change the font to Helvetica the problem still persists.
On a deadline so would appreciate some support here. Box of beer to the person who can provide me with a working solution!
Thanks kindly
Simon Winter

Hello Ellis. Thanks for your efforts in helping narrow down this issue, and for offering workarounds for Simon. Here are the steps I sent to Simon, enhanced by the info you provided above:
1. I typed some text in Id CC 2014.0 (Mac OS 10.9.4) using the system font Helvetica Neue Light at 12 pt. All defaults were on, including ligatures.
1.a. I used the text in Simon's example, “An Annual Report marks the end of a year’s work, but it is also an opportunity to reflect on the principles that” and reduced the text frame width so that it wrapped across 4 lines.
1.b. I also tried creating an all-page text frame and filling it with placeholder text (same font, same point size).
2. Export > Interactive PDF (or Static PDF: doesn’t make a difference), using all the default PDF export settings.
3. View resulting PDF in the latest Chrome (36.0.1985.143) on that same Mac, or on Windows, at various zoom levels, on a retina display as well as on a lower-dpi monitor. It looks fine to me: all words and lines have the same even "color" or weight.
In all cases, the fonts embedded in the PDF were listed as:
HelveticaNeue-Light (Embedded Subset)
Type: TrueType
Encoding: Ansi
HelveticaNeue-Light (Embedded Subset)
Type: TrueType (CID)
Encoding: Identity-H
If you follow the above steps, can you repro the problem?

Strange web traffic behaviour for previous week

Hi,
I have been experiencing strange web behaviour with my infinity 2 connection for approximately the last week. I say "web" because the connection speed for other applications is fairly rapid still, but general web browsing is very laggy.
I'm using mainly Apple kit. Time capsule plugged into infinity box. Two iPhones, two Macbook Airs and an ipad. Using a mixture of wired and wireless connections. All show the same issue for websites, where as pages will either take a while to load or half load and not respond until tried upon a second attempt.
Looking at network traffic it would look like what happens is occasionally some HTTP requests hang and eventually time out. I've tried VPN'ing out then web browsing via the VPN and it doesn't experience the same issue.
Anyone have any ideas or experienced similar? Sounds like some kind of BT traffic shaping or transparent proxy perhaps?
Thanks in advance...

I’ve done some analysis to try find out what is happening and come to conclusion there is definitely some packet loss going on which appears to be the cause of the problem. I’m not sure if this is the correct forum for this level of technicality but hopefully someone at BT will see this and act on it.
In the instances where the request fails, it is almost certainly because the TCP three way handshake does not complete. Specifically this is final ACK packet back from the client to the server is lost en route but strangely no ICMP error messages which you’d expect to see.
In the example log below a request to an asset on the BBC news website failed. Somewhere within BT, the final ACK to establish the connection is being lost; so the connection is in a kind of limbo state where it is trying to ask for a particular page asset but the remote server still thinks there’s an ACK packet to come. This is what is causing the actual ‘hang’ within the browser since it is waiting for data to be returned which never is.

So with this in mind, I’m open to as whether it is just web. It’s likely that it could be other protocols as well. It could be that web is more susceptible due to the number of separate connections that need to happen for each page view.

Folio Web Viewer crashing frequently with v28

I've been noticing that the folio web viewer is crashing before web pages fully load for a lot of my hyperlinks. This seems to happen for media-rich websites, but I haven't experienced crashes with such frequency in the past.
When a button link is clicked, the web viewer begins to load then immediately disappears (sliding to the bottom of the screen before the web content finishes loading).
Any one having issues with the folio web viewer?
Are there any open issues or way to resolve?
My only workaround is to make links open in Safari, but that is obviously not ideal solution.

Hi,
Thanks for moving it, I didn't notice the .NET section.
No, it's not a time-out. I can make it crash immediately by opening the page, clicking on the button to refresh the report, changing the parameters, and then clicking the button again.
Edit:
This is very strange. Using Fiddler to launch IE makes it behave itself! It won't crash! However, when I go to the site with IE launched by Fiddler, it asks me for my login credentials. I'm not sure why it needs them. What does Fiddler do to IE to make it not include network authentication?

Web viewer update

When can we expect an update of the web viewer?
The content displayed is not responsive and is therefore not useable on most small screens

The v29 release introduced a couple of bugs that's most likely affecting you. These issues should be resolved within the next day or two.
http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/release-note/dps-bug-fix-release-notes.htm l
Known issues with web viewer
Some scrollable frames in web viewer are no longer working properly with the v29 release. This issue is under investigation.
Social Sharing is not working properly for v27 and v28 apps for folios published after the release of v29.
Smooth Scrolling articles in web viewer may not display properly on the last page if the length of the smooth scrolling article is not an exact multiple of the folio height. For example, the last page of a 1024x2000 article may be cropped, but a 1024x1536 (2 times the height) or a 1024x2304 (3 times the height) should display fine. The issue is especially common in portrait orientation.
TOC images larger than 70x70 are being cropped instead of scaled.

Web viewer features

As already mentioned in another post, a web viewer that scaled with the size of the browser would be a great addition - currently using digify for a client and would love to move over to dps as we use it for everything else but the lack of scaling/responsiveness is holding us up as they support it. Are there any plans to add this sort of feature to the web viewer for dps?

Hello,
I upgraded today to Drop 21 tools and created a new custom content viewer to test my folio on iPad.
After re-publishing the whole folio, I can view it again in Web Viewer ("Adobe Content Viewer for Web").
A few problems remain:
- Images sequences not working (seems that they should, see bottom of the page)
- embedded (in MSO) buttons (leading to prev/next state) not working
What can I do now?
I've got on a page a 5 states MSO.
Each state contains next/prev/close buttons
States 3,4,5 contain an "auto launch" image sequence.
Everything works fine on iPad, of course
An idea, anyone?

Web viewer resolution and workflow ideas

hi,
i made a pubblication for iPad with resolution of 2048 x 1536px (ipad retina ready) and now I enabled the web view so I can see that pubblication on the web.
the problem is that the resolution (2048 x 1536) while works great on iPad and iPad retina, doesn't work on the web since the viewer doesn't scale to fit the browser window.
I'm trying to figure it out how can I make available the same publication without doing all the layout work in indesign (some folio are really complex, so this could be really time consuming) and I ho pe someone else had the same troubles before to give me an adivce.
my ideas are:
1. create a copy of my articles, and scale the contents page per page to a smalle size (for esample grouping all the objects on the page and scaling them down. I'm not sure this will work well with texts);
2. leave the articles like they are and work on the web viewer, making the web viewer scale to fit the contents (for example embedding the webviewer in an iframe, or other ways).
I'm asking you some tips, if you have any.
thank you very much!

You can add the 2048x1536 documents to any folio size with a 4:3aspect ratio. (Bob will likely tell you that there is no reason to create 2048x1536 layouts/folios; better to use 1024x768.) the way I see it, you have two options.
Create a 1024x768 rendition with Web Viewer Only selected. That way, that folio appears only in the Web Viewer, which means you can provide a different experience for unsupported features such as panoramas or camera effects.
Create a single 1024x768 rendition.

How to display local HTML file in web-view?

Hello everyone,
we have no problem with showing of remote HTML content from server in box on page in web view. But how we can show such a content when included in HTMLResources? In guide is just "Display a local HTML file in an in-app browser", which works wihout problem, but we don't want to show this HTML content in in-app viewer, it should be part of page.
Thanks
Martin

Now i'm confused. In guide is this:
To use local HTML files, click the folder icon and specify the local HTML file. The HTML file (such as index.html) should appear in a folder that includes any images or scripts used in the HTML file.
But no info where such a local HTML file should reside. If this file is in HTMLResources, it is ignored.

HT1665 There is a bug in the spellchecking functionality when typing in the web view or while using Blogsy App. Why? Why my IPad crashes so often?

There is a bug in the spellchecking functionality when typing in the web view or while using Blogsy App. Why? Why my IPad crashes so often?

I have always found spell check to be "buggy" in every version of all of the iOS's that I have run on my original model iPad and my new iPad - especially when replying and typing posts in these forums. It works perfectly in every other application on my iPad but it has never worked perfectly in any web browser that I have used on my iPad - no matter what I have done to try to correct it. That is what MY experience has been with spell check on my iPads.
As for the crashes on your iPad try these basic troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit all apps and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Web Viewer - getting buttons to open in a new tab or window

I am trying to get a button to open in a new tab or window in the DPS web viewer.
The options when creating a button are:
Open link in folio
Open link in device browser
Both which do not work when we export the web viewer.
I know it is possible as Adobe are using this function for their Inspire magazine. This does not seem to be html either that they are using. See link here - at the bottom of the page: Adobe Inspire Magazine October 2014: The Truth in a Face
Any help with this issue would be highly appreciated.

There is a parameter on creating the iFrame called externalLinksOpen. They can set it to 'window', as it defaults to inline, which opens it in the current window. It's documented here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/digitalpublishingsuite/ContentViewerForWebSDK-2.0/classes /FrameService.html#method_createFrame
There is also a demo linked from our 'What's New' section under 'External Link for Embedded Viewer' at http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/digitalpublishingsuite/ContentViewerForWebSDK-2.0/modules /What's%20New.html.

Web View not loading in Cocoa Applescript application?

Hey guys...me again, and I need help, AGAIN, haha.
I found a tutorial for web views in Cocoa Applescript because I couldnt find it anywhere, but it wont load.
The web view does not display anything when the app is launching.
I am using Cocoa Applescript.
This is my AppDelegate.applescript I am using for the web view:

Whoever helps me will be thanked in my apps about page...
Thanks, Adam B

When I launch it...it says this:
2012-01-22 17:21:01.658 RecoverMe[96706:407] Error loading /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/GreaseKit.bundle/Contents/MacOS/GreaseKit: dlopen(/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/GreaseKit.bundle/Contents/MacOS/GreaseKit, 265): no suitable image found. Did find:
          /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/GreaseKit.bundle/Contents/MacOS/GreaseKit: GC capability mismatch
Does that have anything to do with it not loading the webview?

Embed Lightroom Web View in Webpage

The ability to share a collection by copy and pasting a web link through Lightroom Web View is briliant, but is there or will there be the ability to embed this on a webpage say through wordpress? Simply pressing the B key to add images to a predfined collection and having them instantly appear online publicly I'd imagine this would not be too hard to implement?

I'm not sure I completely understand your problem, because linking to a Lightroom gallery is actually very simple.
Design your Lightroom gallery and upload it to your server. Just do it directly from LR. Let's suppose you have uploaded it into [your webroot folder]/galleries/test/.
Don't rename any of the index files.
Check it has actually worked, by visiting http://celestialapple.zxq.net/galleries/test/index.html with your browser.
Create a link to the gallery on your home page. The source code for the link is <a href="/galleries/test/index.html">Other Photoshop gallery</a>
And that's it already.
Cheers,
Michael

Acrobat 9.3.4 (or 9.3.3.177): Save As with Optimize for Fast Web View

When I do a Save As with Optimize For Fast Web View checked, the saving stops and an Adobe Acrobat dialog displays:
The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (111).
If I uncheck Optimize For Fast Web View, the Save As seems to work.
Is there a way to have Fast Web View work with Save As?
Acrobat.exe is version 9.3.4 (or 9.3.3.177 in the properties). The Acrobat.DLL version is 9.3.4.218.

Thanks. I did submit a report at the site. I hope somebody reads it as this is a big problem for us.
Thanks again.
