Use folios completely offline

Hi,
I use InDesign CS5.5 for creating folios playable on iPad via the Digital Publishing Suite, it works pretty good and the benefit system for my client is that once the folio loaded on the iPad in Content Viewer it can be viewed offline, no need internet connection.
Except that in the application in question there are buttons that open PDFs (or .ics files) and the PDFs are apparently not sent locally on the iPad with the folio, the only solution I found for that if they are available is to put them online on a server and make a hyperlink to the url.
This works but it must in this case have an internet connection, the goal was out that the application is accessible even without internet connection.
Does anyone know if there is a solution to my problem?
Thank you for your help.

We've been using the "HTMLResources" solution as our apps usually contain a number of PDF references. Why this feature is not advertised more is beyond me.
Put the PDFs into an archived file specifically named "HTMLResources.zip"
In the Folio Builder go to your app's folio and from the dropdown select "Import HTML Resources...".
Select that ZIP file and import it.
Now you can link to whatever was in that ZIP file with a button (Go To URL) with "HTMLResources/your_filename_here.pdf" as the targert URL from anywhere in the app.
The PDF will pop up nicely within the internal viewer.

  • Using Mountain Lion offline

    I need to buy a new MBP for my business. Luckily, I had an opportunity to try one (15", i7, OS 10.8) before placing an order. Since my present machines are still on OS 10.7, I was new to Mountain Lion. I really liked it - until I started using it at the actual work site (rural Pennsylvania) without any network connection (even my iPhone is dead there). The lack of online service did not bother me because the only work I need to do on the laptop at this site is data and word processing. However, nothing seemed to work in Mountain Lion while offline. Help, Preview, iWork, Office 2011, Acrobat Pro and a bunch of other programs I used on my regular office's LAN without a problem, suddenly became unresponsive or gave me the spinning beachball for a minute (probably due to some network timeout). I tried to make it clear to the OS that I am in the boonies by setting up a "No network" location in Network Preferences with all network interfaces turned off. Some apps, like Preview, simply switched back to the "LAN" location I use in my regular office — then crashed. Being new to Mountain Lion, I also needed to run Help but it either told me that help is available online, or waited for a minute then came up with some basic advice for Mac newbies.
    My questions are:
    What are the settings (including using the Terminal) that tells Mountain Lion that I am offline and that it should not pause for incoming data because not a single bit will come?
    What I am I doing wrong that prevents me to use Mountain Lion offline without loosing functionality in applications that do not external data?
    Thanks

    Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. The purpose of this test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows: 
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click  Log in.
     *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Best practice when using auto complete in view layer

    Hello
    I have a question regarding best way to store/cash data when using auto complete function in view layer.
    I know that there will be a lot of visitors that will use this function and I dont want to kill the application server so I need some advice.
    Its about 6000 words that should be searchable .... my first thought was to create a Singleton-bean that stores current items and that I will iterate over but its a lot of "waste" doing that way.
    I would be very glad if anyone could advice me how to do this best way if there is any de-facto standard to use when using auto completion in "view layer"
    Thanks!
    Best Regards/D_S

    I dont know what your design is, but here are some ideas:
    To me, autocomplete means you have some user specific data that the user entered prevously such as their home address, and some generic data that is not specific to any particular user. I would store all that in a database. For the user specific data I would store their userID along with the data in the database. Then, when populating a JSP page, I would call up just the data specific to that user and the generic data from the database. I would store it as an array of some type in javascript client--side. When the user clicks the autopopulate button, I would have that button call a javascript fuction that reteives the data from the javascript array and populate the various textfields. All this is done client-side so the form does not have to be re-drawn. I question why you have 6000 items. Normally, autopopulate has at most only a few dozens of items. If you still need 6000 items, I suggest adding a textfield to the form to filter what the data he needs down to a manageable amount. Example: rather than get all names from a telephone book, put a textfield on the form that allowfs an end user to enter a letter a to z such as 'b', then only fetch last names from the phone book that begins with 'b'.

  • An update is required to use Folio Builder.  Please click here to download the Folio Producer tools.

    Hello,
    I'm using CS 5.5, Mac OS 10.8.4. I've spent the last two nights trying to figure this out but I am really stuck this time... I think the issue I'm having is similar to IDEAMAN1 but I got lost on his advice after trying some stuff out, so help would be greatly appreciated!! (I'm only medium-level tech savvy...)
    Trying to create my first epublication. Downloaded FolioPanel v26 and installed it, then FolioProducerTools v27 and installed it. Realised I had stuffed it up so uninstalled both using the uninstaller. Re-downloaded FolioProducerTools v27, FoiioPanel v27 and installed in that order and popup said the updates were ready to go. Opened InDesign and folio builder panel said "An update is required to use Folio Builder.  Please click here to download the Folio Producer tools.". The link brought me to http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=172&platform=Macintosh which is where I downloaded the original files anyway.
    So I've tried uninstalling, restarting the computer, trashed preferences, closed CS5.5ServiceManager, reinstalling heaps of times and not sure what I should try next. Please help!! Thanks!!!!

    That notification is often a bug.
    I get it regularly when I launch InDesing while connected to my Thunderbolt Display.
    If I disconnect my Macbook from the Display, relaunch InDesign it works fine - reconnecting to Thunderbolt display after this also still allows the Folio Producer tools to load properly.

  • Will pages automatically reformat to correct size when using Folio Builder or do I have to make pages iPad format, for example, in InDesign document set up from the start?

    Moved to DPS forum.
    You need to set up the pages appropriately for the target device. For iPad that's 1024x768.

  • Problem using  auto-complete SQL Developer

    Hi everyone ...
    I'm having a problem using the SQL Developer 3.2.20.09 87 ... when I try to use auto-complete in a 'SELECT' clause at a specific table (EX: clients.cod_client), if I have more tables in my 'FROM' clause, the program shows all columns from all tables. Even if I have specified the table I want to show the columns (like the exemple: clients.<columns>) ...
    I've tryed to change the properties at preferences->insight ... but there's no option to change it there.
    So, if anyone have faced this problem and solved, please help me ;)

  • Using Exchange Mail Offline

    Does anyone out there have experience using an Exchange mail account offline (in airplane mode)? 
    My boss is used to using Outlook 2010 offline on his Windows 7 laptop.  Once he gets off the airplane, everything he did offline synchronizes with the server when he connects to the internet - emails get sent, calendar entries are entered and emails are filed into subfolders.
    In the past this was a problem with iOS.  I've tested this on my iPhone and it seems to be working properly.  I'm looking for confirmation from anyone with experience please.
    Thanks
    Mike_Rafon

    I don't know all the differences between connecting to an exchange server as an exchange server or as an IMAP server.
    But I do know that I get mail okay and I can accept meeting requests connecting as IMAP. I can't send mail because the exchange admins don't serve up an SMTP server. I just use another account for that.
    I also don't look at the exchange calendars, and have no need to share my calendars with the exchange users. If I did, I would just use OWA.
    If you could live with a similar arrangement and your exchange admin offer it, consider switching your email connection type to IMAP.

  • Allow or Disallow use of the Offline Files feature

    Hi all! I am having an issue with Offline files on some new Windows 8.1 clients we have deployed. We wish to have Offline Files disabled for these machines, but using the GPO Setting "Computer config>Policies>Administrative Templates>Network>Offline
    Files>All or Disallow the use of the Offline Files feature" is not working as described. We have used this setting as far back as XP and to my knowledge it has always worked. However, on these client systems the setting does disable the button to enable/disable
    offline files but does not actually disable offline files itself. The explanation of the setting has this to say:
    If you disable this policy setting, Offline Files is disabled and users cannot enable it.
    Why isn't this working in Windows 8.1? Thanks!

    Hi Matt,
    Based on your description, have we restarted the computer? As stated in the explanation sector of the setting, changes to this policy setting do not take effect until the affected computer is restarted.

  • Folio producer tools update required to use folio builder but content viewer app not available

    Hi,
    I have a problem with DPS Folio Producer tools.
    We are unable to use Folio Builder to update our iPad presentation to the cloud because we keep getting this message: An update is required to use Folio Builder. Please click here to download Folio Producer Tools.
    We have previously done this only to discover that the new version of Folio Producer Tools is incompatible with the Content Viewer and the new Content Viewer app is not yet approved, or available from Apple.
    So we have done a rollback to a previous version of the Folio Producer Tools which worked for a few hours, but is now prompting for the update again - but as explained above we cannot download the update until the Content Viewer app is available.
    HELPPPPPPP!!!

    This is the DPS model.
    When a company thinks first about monetizing solutions instead of making it an extra option.
    You are not free anymore to use the tools you want, you must follow Adobe's decisions to update online apps.
    Online apps are everything but good.
    You will have to wait until the Viewer gets approved by Apple.
    Dear Adobe: do you see how many people come here because they don't understand how your technical model works?

  • When does oracle use a complete nested loop join?

    Hi!
    Does Oracle Database use a complete nested loop join? I mean, imagine 2 tables without any indexes.. is there any case where for each row in the outer table Oracle does a complete scan in the inner table? I know that this is the original algorithm for the nested loop join, but some data bases prefer to make a temp table to autoindex the inner table and never makes the complete scan in the inner table..
    thanks!!

    user12040235 wrote:
    If the table do not have indexes.. some data bases prefer to scan one time the inner table, to index all values, and than, for every row in the outter loop table, it will do a index search.
    I just like to know oracle does the same thing, or it does the complete scan..If you have two tables without indexes, Oracle may consider scanning one table, extracting the smallest data set it can get away with, and then building a hash table of that data set (rather than creating an in-memory copy with index). At this point Oracle can then do a nested loop join into the in-memory hash table.
    However, this is called a hash join, and the order of tables will appear to be reversed, viz:
    nested loop
        table scan full ABC
        table scan full XYZ
    {code]
    becomeshash join
    table scan full XYZ
    table scan full ABC
