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.

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?

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.

Problems with Adobe Content Viewer for V30 Folios

Is anyone else experiencing problems viewing V30 folios on the Adobe Content Viewer app for ipad and iphone. It asks me to download a newer version of the App but as far as I can see I am using the newest version (3.4.5)

The v30 ACV has not been approved by Apple yet.

Defaulting fonts when viewing DPS articles in Adobe Content Viewer

Hi.
My fonts are defaulting throughout my folio when I view articles in Adobe content viewer.
This folio is a PDF. I have published before and not had this issue.
Is the problem with Content Viewer?
Will the type display correctly when I publish this folio and view in app?
Thank you.

When a font is missing or unlinked that font shows up as a default font.
The fonts in these documents are not missing or unlinked.
When I update the article it fixes the problem, but only temporarily.
The fonts default the next time I view the article.

How to reset a folio in Adobe Content viewer / Android ?

I am using a folio in Adobe Content Viewer on a Kobo (android tablet), and I want to reset pages. In the iPad, I tap Three times on the name of the folio. The same action doesn't work in the kobo. Do you know how I can catch it ?
Thank you for your answer, a lot !

My fingers must be different than yours
As soon as I hit the second tap its jumping to the 1st page.
What is the timing?
I am working with a Nexus 10 and V29 of the DPS viewer App.

Adobe Content Viewer v22 for Android - folio update issue

Yesterday I updated our Xoom to Android 4.1.1 and updated the Adobe Content Viewer to v22. Both we and a client have had issues with not seeing the "Update Available" message for folios that are been updated. The "Updating Library..." message flashes briefly at the top of the viewer in library mode, however nothing changes. It's only after killing the app and restarting that it takes its time while checking the library for updates and finds them. Has anyone else had this issue? The iPad rendition of the same folio has been showing update messages in the usual, almost instantaneous, way.
Has anyone else had difficulty with updating folios in the Android v22 Adobe Content Viewer? In the past couple of versions I've noticed some strangeness with the Sign In/ Sign Out part of the library where it seems like the text tells you you're signed in, but sometimes you have to sign out and sign back in to get updates. Sometimes you could go back to the home screen and then go back into the app and it would trigger a check for updates as well, however that trick doesn't seem to be working anymore.
Andrew

Thank you for the reply Himanshu. Evidently the problem is much worse than I thought because previously created apps don't even open anymore!
None of the apps we have published to the Android app store are getting past the splash screen. The library flashes briefly on some of them before the app crashes. The error message it gives is "Unfortunately, ____ has stopped." This is a big problem!! Will updating the apps to v22 solve this issue? When will Adobe have this major problem fixed?
I'm flashing back to June of last year when reliability of basic functionality (like apps opening and folios being downloadable/viewable) was still unpredictable. You Adobe guys and gals have got to figure out how to make the DPS system dependable. I understand this is an operating system conflict, but surely you knew this update was coming and could test how well your software would hold up to the changes. This isn't a barely used minor feature that isn't working, this is something that makes users uninstall the app and lessens their opinion of the company that released it. Please make this your top priority and get it fixed today. We and our customers are paying for a much higher level of service than this.

Can't see my 1920x1080 folio in my iPad library in adobe content viewer

I would like to make a single .folio to view on iOS and Android. I'm making it 1920x1080, but when it's been published it only shows up in andoid version of adobe content viewer, not on the ipad. is this a bug or expected behavior?

That's expected behavior. Only folios with a 4:3 aspect ratio (such as 1024x768) appear on iPad viewers. Android viewers display any folio aspect ratio.
(Tomek types faster than I do.)

Unable to preview folios in Adobe Content viewer using Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (SM-T210)

Hi,
I am using Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (SM-T210) Android Version 4.1.2 .The folios were not displayed and I only get a black screen, despite the fact that I was able to download the Adobe Content Viewer latest android version (3.3.0.0.87854), the Android device was detected by Adobe CC, able to load the folio into the device. I tried re-installing the app, but it did not work.
It may also help to mention that I can't view the DPS Tips App files, also. I was able to download the app and its documents (folio basics, etc.), But the same black screen is displayed when I try to read them.
Are there any programs that I have to download for it to work? Please help.
Thank you for reading.

Our testers looked at this and saw the same problem. Updating the OS firmware of the Galaxy Tab 3 resolved the issue.

Native Adobe Content Viewer for Android is now available!

The native Adobe Content Viewer is now available in Google Play for your downloading pleasure. Grab it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.dps.contentviewer. The legacy air viewer is still available at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.adobe.contentviewer.
Note that in this first release your sign in will automatically expire after 30 minutes. We realize this is a bit of a pain but wanted to get the viewer out for people rather than waiting even longer to add auto-renew of the credentials. We’ll get this taken care of with our next update, due in about three weeks.
Enjoy!
Neil

Installation works flawlessly. So far I've only been testing with the normal desktop preview. Now I wanna try the preview function for android (I think the previous version didn't work, right?) from the folio overlay panel but I cannot seem to find my Nexus 10 device even though I am logged in with the same account on both InDesign and the Nexus 10. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
Nevermind I got it to work. But how do I update my folio once I uploaded it to the folio producer?
Also there's something that I'd like to achieve now.
The content viewer browser version (checked via whatismybrowser.com) is:
Chrome 30
Version 3.0.0.0
Webkit 537.36
The installed chrome is:
Chrome 32
Version 32.0.1700.99
Webkit 537.36
The 32 version has WebGL enabled or rather it works better. By default only the normal WebGL features are enabled in Chrome. The experimental WebGL features (found under chrome://flags/) have to be activated manually. I suppose the WebM view of the viewer doesn't have these enabled. Can I enable these fancy features somehow?

Adobe Content Viewer for Android?

Anyone knows if the current version of the Adobe Content Viewer for Android is the final one? Some features that work in the iPad just won't work in the Sony Tablet S.
Thanks in advance!

Errors on Android custom viewer published by VB 1.7 & Adobe Content Viewer (2.2.0.0.34183)

We've been testing an Android viewer for several months, and recently updated viewer builder to the latest version(1.7).
The VB1.7's iPad custom viewer is just ok to show latest and previous folios,
but it's Android custom viewer doesn't properly process the latest folio, published by Folio Producer 1.7.
Previous folios are well processed, but the viewer only shows gray screen for the latest folio, with some unexpected screen errors.
Also it seems that this happens on the latest Adobe Content Viewer for Android(ver. 2.2.0.0.34183) as well.

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.

Cannot download folio in adobe content viewer - urgent help please

Hello,
my folio won't download in my Adobe content viewer ("cannot connect to server") and I would have needed it for a presentation at the client - the client also wanted to download the folio on his device but the same error came up. I tried it then with another iPad, same problem on 3 different iPads. I uninstalled the ACV app, installed it again, removed old issues of the magazine from the iPad and tried all that. But everything failed. In the past it always worked fine. This time, the only difference is that I have 2 Youtube videos as "web content" in the folio, but I can't imagine that could be the problem. There were no problems when having the iPad connected to my laptop, everything worked fine. But without cable connection and trying to download it into the Adobe content viewer, the download does not work. Can somebody help me please? And will that have a negative affect on the submission towards the Apple App Store?

Hello Neil,
I tried 2 different wireless networks with 3 different iPads and I had the problem with all networks and iPads unfortunately. When I did other app magazine issues for that client in the past, everything always worked fine with the 2 different networks and there were no settings changed. This is why I am so confused about this.
Meanwhile, I have managed to give my client access by private-publishing the folio via the Folio Panel with my personal Adobe ID and I gave my client my personal Adobe ID for that. Not the ideal solution but at the moment that works.

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
