Upgrade To Adobe Content Viewer and Folio Tools

I am trying to view DPS work on the ipad (created with Indesign).  I am able to upload the work into Acrobat with my ID, but when I try to view it on the Ipad- I am told that I need to upgrade Adobe Content Viewer.  However this is still not available?  I tried going to a computer with an earlier version of the Folio Tools, but Indesign prompts me to update the versions, and will net let me work unless I do that.

Moved to DPS forum.
Are you using PDF format for the folio? If so, that is unsupported in the desktop ACV.

  • Adobe Content Viewer loads .folio but displays black

    This is what I see on my Mac, OSx10.7.5 when I load a folio from the file system. I have InDesign as part of Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard (which is how I go Adobe Content View I think). The folio seems to load but won't display the content. It works for a colleague of mine. I only want to viewer folios. I have tried several different .folios. I would try a re-install but can't find the Adobe Content Viewer cde anywhere to download and it doesn't seem to be available through the Adobe Download manager or the Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard Installer.
    Thanks for any thoughts on this.

  • V19 Android Adobe Content Viewer dumped my folios

    I fired up our Xoom this morning to preview some article changes and upgraded the Adobe Content Viewer.  Unfortunately I was greeted with an empty library, even though I had 10 or more already downloaded folios before the update.  I was viewing one right before the update was installed.  After signing in all the folios show up in the library, but they show as not having been downloaded yet.  Did I do something wrong, or will my customers have to re-download entire folios that were already downloaded to their devices prior to the Adobe Content Viewer update?  After the v18 ACV update I had to update an article in each folio for them to be viewable (which was not ideal) but at least it only forced one article to be re-downloaded.
    Has anyone else experienced this?  I haven't started getting calls about this yet but I'm sure they'll be coming soon if it's not just me that's losing their downloaded folios.
    Andrew

    Hi Andrew,
    Do you know if this is still the case for the latest version?
    I wonder if this is by design, or just happened with v19 update.
    It would seem beneficial for Adobe to have all users need to re-download everything after an update of an app.
    Hoping for a quick answer, otherwise ill have to test it myself on v21
    ps, you mentioned Android, so it did not happen in iOS?

  • Sorry to ask again... sharing folio in Adobe Content Viewer

    First, I'm very impressed with the Adobe Content Viewer and CS 5.5.  IT WORKS JUST GREAT!
    I've uploaded my files and have been able to see my interactive content.
    Thanks for making the viewer a free app, because, according to the posts I've seen, I will be able to share my app, as I test it.
    HOW DO I DO THAT, short of sharing my password to my free acrobat.com account?  I don't want to do that!
    How do I share, without giving everyone my password to my account?
    I realize that they sign up for the free viewer--and their own acrobat account.  But how do they get to my content?  Where do you put THAT address?  Is there a button I'm missing in the content viewer that points to 'other' content?
    I know I'm missing a step...and sure could use a very simple explaination.
    THANKS!
    ADOBE ROCKS, almost all the time!

  • Private app distribution: dev version / testflight / adobe content viewer / b2b distribution

    Hi Adobe Community!
    I am finalizing an app for my company that is supposed to be distributed only among our distributors. Apple rejected my Enterprise inquiry since our distributors are not our employees. I wanted to sum up my distribution options now and ask you for feedback. I do not plan to use App Store.
    1. B2B distribution through apple
    I can distribute custom b2b app through Apple, but it is available only in few european countries and this does not cover our needs since we cannot supply to all distributors. Also the process looks very complicated and I'd like to not use it.
    2. Adobe Content Viewer distribution
    If I tell my customers to download Adobe Content Viewer and sign in with my Adobe ID, the newest version of folios will be automatically downloaded to their devices?
    Also on Adobe website it is stated that my folios should be automatically uploaded to Adobe servers - but they are not. From what I read on the forums I understood that it is only available to Creative Cloud subscribers, is it right? If I subscribe will I be able to use this way for as many users I want?
    3. Developer version
    Finally I know that I can distribute dev version. I will have to register devices UDIDs but they will expire (after what time?) and how many UDIDs can I register (I read in different places that I can have 50 or 100 testers).
    4. TestFlight
    What I undestood so far is that facilitates developeloper version distribution, but wouldn't I be able to use this tool to go around UDIDs expiration?
    Thank a lot!

    With DPS enterprise and Apple enterprise account, you can built and deploy enterprised signed app internally within your organisation. Create the app, deploy and host it internally, so anyone who has access to the link can download the app. Not sure if Apple terms allows your distributors from outside your organisation to access and download the app hosted internally within your organisation, check that with Apple.
    If Apple terms does not allow, then you can use DPS restricted distribution method to deploy the app on the Appstore, but allow someone access to the content only if they are authenticated via the app, called direct entitlement or restricted distribution. Go here for details: Using restricted distribution with Digital Publishing Suite
    Signing in to ACV does not automatically download the latest folio. Your folios are always uploaded on Adobe servers, you cannot host it somewhre else. Anyone can create, upload folios and see the folio in the Adobe Content Viewer. But publishing the folio to be available in an app requires DPS subscription.
    You can register upto 100 UDID's on Apple dev portal. I don't think the UDID's expires so long as your Apple Dev account is active but the certificates expires exactly one year from the day it was generated.

  • How do you download the Adobe Contents Viewer to a Kindle Fire?

    Trying to view a folio created in InDesign 5.5 on a Kindle Fire. I downloaded Adobe Contents Viewer and it gives me this error: This issue is available for download, but requires a newer version of the ap Adobe Content. Please update your app from the Android Market. I tried downloading it from Android Market but it still gives me the same error.

  • Adobe Content Viewer, Articulate Studio file

    Hello! I am learning DPS bit by bit and have successfully begun publishing my document for viewing in the Adobe Content Viewer on different devices. Here are the issues I am having and the questions associated with those issues:
    1. When I publish my document and go to view it on my devices (Android tablet and iPad3), I get a gray box where I should have an Articulate Studio *.html file. I think it may be a memory issue, but how do I truly preview my DPS document so that I see all interactive content? I am assuming it is a memory issue, but it may be a linking issue to the Articulate file, though I am able to see the Articulate file when I preview just that article within my folio on my computer.The total filesize is about 33 Mb and I have seen on other posts that some magazines are 500Mb in size. Is the Adobe Content Viewer limited in its content file size for previewing publications?
    2. I have been publishing my file over and over and now have multiple copies of the file in my Adobe Content Viewer on both devices. How do I get rid of the duplicates and have only the most recently updated item on my device? Is this something I can do through the Folio builder online? (I am only seeing one file in the Organizer and Publish Requests.)
    Thank you for any help with these questions.
    Sincerely,
    Amber Price

    Thank you so much for the feedback. Yes, I created the file as an overlay (web content) and linked to the html file that is created when you build an Articulate Studio file. Is there a way to have it preview on the mobile device? Do I have to upload those files separately, somehow? If there isn't a way to preview it, does that mean it will not work when I go to publish it for real? In my latest preview, I can now hear the audio, but cannot see the video on my device (but this isn't every time). Another issue: when I go to preview the entire portfolio on my local computer using the Adobe Content Viewer, it never loads the preview--it just hangs on the load screen and I see "Proxy.folio" and the file never loads [see image below].
    I have created one folio with articles in that folio and I have changed and updated those articles. I have also tried signing out and back in to the Adobe Content Viewer and I still see the duplicate files. I also tried restarting my devices to see if that would update everything and the duplicates are still there.
    Any other help is greatly appreciated! ~Amber Price

  • Adobe Content Viewer stuck in portrait orientation

    I just spoke to a customer who can only see the Adobe Content Viewer (both versions 1.7 and 1.8) in portrait orientation.  His device is rotated horizontally and the Android GUI is correctly displaying in landscape mode.  He launches the Adobe Content Viewer and the interface of the app is in portrait mode.  No amount of rotating makes a difference.  This happens in the Library view and when viewing a folio.  The Xoom I’m using doesn’t have this problem.  We have essentially identical setups with very few downloaded apps or custom setup, however his Xoom is only displaying the Adobe Content Viewer in portrait orientation.  Anyone else have this issue and/or a possible solution?  I’m having difficulty coming up with my next troubleshooting step.  It’s not a problem with Android as a whole, just the Adobe Content Viewer.
    Andrew

    Hey guys, I'm sorry, I just now saw that this post got replies. Sorry!
    In the end, it worked out that I had to view it on the actual device. The desktop viewer seems very finicky - sometimes it'll work and sometimes it won't.
    It's not very handy to have to view it on the actual device. Sometimes you won't always have the device you're designing for on hand! Hopefully Adobe will recognize that.
    Good luck guys!

  • Viewing Folios with DPS Folio Producer and Adobe Content Viewer on IPad?

    What is the path to viewing a folio, on an IPad, that has been published with the DPS Folio Producer. 
    Opening Adobe Content Viewer on IPad has no obvious path to the folio in the Producer.
    There is no obvious path to the library in Adobe Content Viewer, either?
    Logged in both with Adobe I.D.
    Using ID CS6 on Windows.
    Also as a Creative Cloud single member what is the process of being able to publish unlimited apps to the IPad.
    Thank you in advance for your response.
    James Goins

    Unfortunately, if you're on Windows you have no process to publish an
    app. You need a Mac.
    I wish Adobe would allow Creative Cloud members to use the same process
    that Pro and Enterprise subscribers have by exporting a zip file. You
    still need a Mac but you can pretty much use any Mac you have access to.
    With Creative Cloud to publish a Single Edition app, you must have
    InDesign installed on a Mac and you generate the app by choosing create
    app from the folio builder panel menu.
    All that said, if you create a folio while signed into the folio builder
    panel, that folio should show up in Adobe Content Viewer as long as
    you're properly signed into it.

  • Adobe Content Viewer app and .folio file

    I created and published a .folio file on my Web server.
    My boss downloaded the free Adobe Content Viewer app from iTunes for his iPad. When he tries to open the .folio file from his home screen it goes online to a browser and just shows a grey screen with an icon for the .folio file, its file size and nothing happens.
    Am I missing something? The same .folio file works fine on my desktop version of Adobe Content Viewer. How do I get it to work in his app?
    Thanks.

    Found some other threads. Is this right?
    1. Create my .folio file.
    2. Host on my free Acrobat.com account.
    3. Get viewer to get their own free Acrobat.com account and share doc URL with them.
    4. They download file and view in the free Adobe Content viewer app for iPad.
    Would check, but I don't have access to an iPad with live internet connection (yet).
    Thanks.

  • Adobe Content Viewer in iPad dont update the contents on mi Folio Builder! Help!

    Please, someone have de same problem?!
    When i update my folio through the Folio Builder in Indesign 5.5, the Content Viewer in iPad dont update de folio.
    In Acrobat.com i see the contents update, but in iPad/Adobe Content Viewer not.
    Why this problem happens?
    Tanks.

    As I wrote on another thread (and this was directed at Adobe employees)
    "I have been closely monitoring many threads here at DPS (and DPS Private Beta Forums) in the last few weeks, and yes I am new to this particular product group having only been in it since March.  But I wonder if there is some way that Adobe can be made aware of how serious this issue is with Builder and Viewer and tools "not lining up" with Apple.
    "To keep putting this problem on Apple is somewhat of a shopworn technique (and I say this with all due respect.). Still, Apple commands fully 80+ % of the tablet market.  They are the big dog.
    "Suggestions for the future:  Perhaps there will be a way to choose a tools/viewers workflow at startup -- or to put a bigger "red flag" before installing any update that is not yet supported by Apple.  Approaching this from the engineering side, you may have forgotten just how many disclaimer screens the average designer/production person faces every week!  Many of us don't read them carefully. (Richard Dreyfuss reads them).
    "I have nothing but admiration for what Adobe software engineers are trying to do -- and these are nascent times to be sure.  But it certainly seems like this launch is going poorly.

  • How do I view folios in Adobe Content Viewer on device?

    Hello,
    I have just upgraded to the Creative Cloud. In my newly created folio, I see the icon for Local Folio. How can I get that folio to the cloud, so I can have it downloaded to my device in the Adobe Content Viewer?

    Hi Jo,
    When you create your folio you can preview it by:
    1) Opening the Folio Builder window and clicking Preview > Preview on Desktop at the bottom left
    2) Opening the Folio Builder window and clicking Preview > Preivew on Jo’s iPad at the bottom left (only works if you have Adobe Content Viewer installed and open on a plugged in iPad)
    To actually compile your app and install the development ipa file on your iPad:
    1) Select your Folio in the Folio Builder window
    2) From the top, right flag pull down select “Create App”
    3) This will launch the Digital Publishing Suite App Builder that takes you through the steps to create the ipa file

  • Adobe Content Viewer asking for upgrade...

    The Adobe content viewer (that I downloaded about an hour ago) is not working. It says "Please update your app." but no update is available?!? Not sure what is up. Any ideas?

    That's not a silly or obvious question (unless you've been using DPS for a long time). The answer is that Pro and Enterprise customers can download the v20 tools when they become available and begin taking advantage of the new features right away. For example, with the v20 release, publishers can create iPhone apps, which are already starting to be approved. Pro and Enterprise customers can use the Viewer Builder to create a custom version of the Adobe Content Viewer that they can use to test their v20 folios.
    As I've mentioned, there is a "Publish As" feature currently in the works that eventually will let everyone publish to an earlier format (no earlier than v20). This should help mitigate the problems associated with the tools being released before Apple approves the viewer.

  • Adobe Content Viewer Slow after Upgrade to ios 8

    Hi
    I am still in the development phase of my app. I have built it using InDesign.
    I have been updating and previewing the app in Adobe Content Viewer on my iPad 3. It was working fine. I upgraded my iPad to ios 8.1  three days back and since then there the app is very slow when i view it in ACV. The page transition is slow, the slideshow gallery grid does not respond even after multiple taps.
    Now my ipad is 3rd generation and I am realising i should not have upgraded it to ios 8. But it is very hard for me to tell now if the slowdown is because of -
    - ios 8 only
    - or because of incompatibility of ios 8 with older ipads (3rd generation)
    I tried downgrading my ios to 7.2 but apple does not alllow that anymore, so I am stuck with ios 8.
    Any inputs/feedback on this will be great.
    thanks in advance.
    -MP

    Thanks Peter, Bob , for your inputs.
    Bob - did you upgrade the ios to 8 on our ipad 3?
    Mine was working fine with all the preview apps on ACV till i upgraded to ios 8.
    Peter - Apple usually do not discount its products even on Black Friday. But I will see if I can squeeze in a new piece to continue with my project. I am also going to try downgrading ios on my ipad with some manual fix, I could not do it via itunes as apple is no more signing ios 7.
    Thanks for the inputs.

  • Need to download folios repeatedly in Adobe Content Viewer

    Hi:
    We are using Adobe Content Viewer (ACV) for a digital education project. The ACV app is used in iPad´s and when are turned off, we need to download again all the folios previously downloaded to the ACV app.
    Someone who has the same problem, how to fix it?.
    Thanks,
    Oscar

    I am using iPad 2 with iOS 7.0.4. and latest ACV, more than 10 gb free.
    1. Basically, I download a folio on my iPad device, I can open it and everything is just fine. When I click "remove issues from library" I see  both folios, one occupies 28 mb, the other one 48 mb. One is made for viewer version 20 the other for 26.
    2. Then, I shut down the device completely and turn it back on after few seconds.
    3. I launch ACV, both of those folios appear just fine, until I click on them.
    4. Just as I click on a folio, the background appears just light gray, without any content. If I tap on the screen, I don't even get top menu, where I can return to library. So I have to force quit ACV.
    5. When I launch ACV again, both folios have the cloud icon next to them, and I need to download them in order to view them, HOWEVER, when I click "remove issues from library" button, I see that both folios are still there with the same mb size.
    So, it looks like they are still on the device, but for some reasons I need to re-download them again.
    Unfortunately I don't have any other iPads to test these folios.
    Just to remind, this happens only to 2 out of many folios, both were made in summer last year, they are not published and are only used on the current device as presentations.
    Regarding updates, to be honest, I don't remember if I had this prior to last iOS update, but I might not have noticed that.
    Usually, if I see there is an update, I just update it.
    Is there anything you would recommend to try?
    I have not yet tried to remove ACV from the device and re-install. Or unshare that folio and share it again.
