V20 Problem Scrollable Frames

Hi Everyone!
I have InDesign CS5.5 and I'm having a problem with the new scrollable frames functions.
I tried to recreate a scrollable frame like the one shown here tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-digital-publishing-suite/scrollable-frames-and-pan-zoom-v19/ at 03:43.
My Problem is:
Hide Scroll Indicators does not work
Use Document Position does not work too.
I have installed the latest producer tools (FolioProducerTools-CS55-1.10.1 and FolioPanel-CS55-12.2.2.1).
I'm running Windows (Is this the problem here? :-P )
I un- and reinstalled the producer tools.
I also tried it on my windows notebook. Same result.
Do I need to install anything else to get it working?
Maybe someone can help me here.
Best,
Wolfgang
Message was edited by: Onefootvisual19 I uninstalled the Folio Producer Tools v 1.10.1 and installed s v 1.8 (where the feature scrollable frame wasn't available yet) than installed v 1.9 (the wanted function as described above didn't work) and then finally reinstalled v.1.10.1. It still doesn't work ... Am I the only one here who experiences these problems?

Here are also three screenshots to illustrate my problem.
1.) I the red frame is the container of the grouped elements that are scrollable (on the left side is the whole element so you can see it). Hide scroll indicators option is checked and also use document position.
2. When I start the Content Viewer the scrollable frame places the content on the upper left corner ...
3. and scroll indicators are visible
What's the problem here?
Can anyone help me out?
Best,
Wolfgang

Here is another strange thing:
I looked up http://www.caniupdateadobedps.com/ and they say that you find the dps version number in the info window of the folio builder panel. it should be 20.
but mine says 15? though I installed v20 now for the fifth time.
the extension manager says I have v20 though.
Is this the cause for my dps functions not working the way they should?
I really would appreciate some help here.

Dear Neil,
Thank you for pointing out the right direction.
Here is the deal:
After I deleted all the parts you described and reinstalled the tools it still didn't work, but I noticed in the Extension Manager that the plug-in was still active and located at the location where I installed InDesign CS5.5. I again deinstalled the tools and also deleted the "(DigitalPublishing Resources)" folder and the plug-in "DigitalPublishing.apln" (which was from the year 2011).
Than I reinstalled the tools and after starting InDesign CS5.5 the panel window told me I'm missing a plug-in and I should download the latest producer tools.
Here is the trick: I copied the newly created (from reinstalling the new tools) "(DigitalPublishing Resources)" and the "DigitalPublishing.apln" from C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS5.5\Plug-Ins\Graphics to the location where I have installed InDesign CS5.5 and it works!
Neil, thank you very much for your time!
You saved my day!
Best,
Wolfgang

Scrollable frame scaling problems

Hello all,
Having a funny problem I've never encountered before. I've got the usual set-up for a scrollable frame ( content / content frame ) I've grouped it all together and then when I paste it into the content frame it either scales itself down and then when I tried it again it scaled itself up. The content in question is a combination of picture and text. Anyone encountered this before? Any solutions? The only solution I found was to copy an old scrollable box box from an old page.
As always any help is much appreciated.

Right click the frame and choose Fitting > Frame Fitting Options. Deselect Auto-Fit:

Problem with Pullout Tab/Scrollable Frame

I've designed a pullout tab and in the Scrollable Frame Overlay I've specified "Horizontal" as the scroll direction. Now, with Desktop Preview everything looks fine. On the iPad however, the frame can be moved around in all kind of directions - up, down, left, right, even in circles (so to speak).
When I copied the frame to another empty page for test purposes, everything worked as planned with Desktop Preview and on the iPad. So then I added the rest of my content to that test page and voila, the problem resurfaced. I also have other pages with pullout tabs in the same folio that work just fine. I'm lost to what causes this behaviour in this one article.
Anyone had this before?
Thanks.

My mistake, I meant the layers panel. Try renaming your graphic frames to samething unique.

Problem with V19 Scrollable Frame

I have a magazine that worked find on V18 of producer tools, since I upgraded to V19 I am having ptoblems.
I have a standard page size 2048x1536 (iPad 3), and I have the whole page set as a scrollable frame with a background placed behind it. Then all my content for the page is pasted into the scrollable frame which runs much lower than the 2048 page length. You can then scroll the page within the scrollable frame rather than having a long page to scroll down. This also creates a nice layering effect where the content moves on top of a static background.
This worked fine for me on V18 producer tools, but now when I load my magazine onto my iPad, I'm scrolling through articles and when I hit the page with the scrollable frame you can no longer scroll left or right and you're stuck on the page...
Any idea how I can fix this as I have a client that has seen and likes the layering effect? Last thing I want to do is have to remove it and just make a long page.

Which totally sucks, BTW.
If you use JPG or PNG then it works but you lose the razor sharp text and pinch and zoom that PDF provides.
I really don't get this one, either. Especially since the scrollable frames option gives you the ability to make it vertical only. That should eliminate any "confusion" as to which way to you want to scroll and which way you want to swipe.

Problems with scrollable frames

I have an old DPS file that has videos inside a scrollable frame and they work fine. However, i am updating my files and in the new CS6/cc when i create the content, I group all the items, cut and paste into the smaller textframe and when i go to the Folio Overlays panel with the text frame highlighted, the option for scrollable frames is greyed out. Video is highlighted but it will not allow me to create a scrollable frame. Does anyone have a recommendation for what i am doing wrong.

You are correct, I missed your point.
I got it this time though and it worked!
Wow, nifty work around. Thanks.
Now that I have successfully embedded video within the scrollable frame, I am concerned about the 2 GB max from apple.
I researched streaming video and successfully tested this, however it seems the frame for the video needs to be scaled to the preferred viewable size because there is not an option for “play full screen”. As you can see in the screenshot below, I am trying to place the video under the play button using streaming content.
Do you know if this is possible?

Scrollable Frames Problem

I'm trying to use the scrollable frame to create a vertical sliding tab/tray (created the grouped object, pasted it into the frame). The bizarre thing is that the first time I created it and previewed it, it worked perfectly fine. However, I altered the grouped object and now the Content Viewer isn't even detecting that I'm clicking on an object. If anyone knows what I might be doing wrong I'd be tremendously thankful. As a side-note, I also tried to do the tray workaround but had no luck.

Okay, I've figured it out. You still have to use the tray workaround. The scrolling frames won't scroll unless the main tray has been cropped via the frame and the invisible box is still there. At least for grouped objects, I haven't tested it with just a simple image.

Scrollable Frame issue on iPad 'Adobe Viewer'

I'm wondering if anyone else has this issue when previewing a folio with the iPad viewer.
The issue is when I have a full (or even part) page scrollable frame on a page and once I have vertically swiped/scrolled to the end of the scrollable frame, then the next vertical swipe seems to stick much more than usual and requires a much longer/sustained swipe to get it to move on to the next page.
This issue is only occuring when previewing a folio on the iPad viewer. It behaves as expected (short normal swipes) when previewed on the Desktop 'Content Viewer'. It also behaves as expected when simply previewing from the Folio Overlays panel – both on the Desktop viewer and iPad viewer. It also behaves if I import the article as PNG format into a folio, however I am requiring vector quality/display for this project so can't ignore the issue.
It also does not fix the issue to select 'raster' rather than 'vector' in export options within the 'scrollable frame' folio overlay panel.
My first thought was that maybe this is just a quirk of the iPad viewer, but the fact that the behaviour works in most other scenarios has me guessing. Maybe i am missing something somewhere which may explain this. I see the use of Scrollable Frames in this manner within many apps (in vector/PDF) without experiencing this issue, hence why I am leaning towards it being a quirk of the viewer when as a folio with a PDF scrollable frame.
I am using the latest viewers (Desktop and iPad app). The folio's tested trying to resolve this issue have been in both v26 and v27. Using InDesign CS6 on Mac. Same issue happens whether iPad is horizontal or vertical.
Please let me know if you need any further details on my setup or what i have been testing if that will help.
Thanks
Ross

i had this problem once, in the folio producer have you given the folio a name, number and description?
also in the viewer on the ipad they are not nessecarily in the right order - so scoot about on it
if all else fails, delete the folio and re-upload, we had a glitch once and the only solution was to re upload

Where is the "Scrollable Frame" on the Overlay Creator panel?

I can't seem to find the "Scrollable Frame" on my Overlay Creator panel and now I'm caught in the middle. Is there anything that I missed? I can only see the following:
Hyperlink
Slideshow
Image Sequence
Audio & Video
Panorama
Web Content
Pan & Zoom.

I know you mean the other Bob, but the purpose of that is to have something to align with the edge of the scrollable content.
Without the dummy content you wouldn’t be able to position the content. Try doing it without that and you’ll see the problem.

Scrollable frames. Buttons not working.

Hello.
I have a problem with buttons in the scrollable frames.
I have a slideshow with a thumb's. Each thumb consist of MSO (non active icon and active icon) and clear frame - button to that MSO and to slide foto. The thumb's grouped and placed into the frame with horizontal scroll overlay effect.
That frame placed into another frame-pull out tab, which have vertical scroll effect. And when I pressed the button, slide fotos changes correctly, but button MSO not working.
See files from dropbox -- https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rsbf1jto3a39jug/IVcQxaYJOW
Sorry for my english. I need help very much.
Thanks.

Hi,
I understand that I can use two 'states' of the buttons. And I tried it. But. Buttons renditions are raster images. And on the retina display we had bad quality. My target was to create vector buttons. With good quality on both displays.
Any suggestions?

Hi (again),
It seems that you built your stuff in a very complicated way.
First, try to make simple!
You mixed MSO and buttons functions. Useless and unfonctional.
Yous should use only button panel, with two different 'states' ('Normal' and 'Clic').
See below (no MSO function used at all for the button):

Use the layer panel to easily select the objects you want to modify.

Hyperlinks in a scrollable frame moving on scroll

Context:
Application for iPad, created in inDesign with DPS.
Situation:
We have a table inserted into a vertically scrollable frame. On top, we have a series of links that correspond to the table text (please see screenshot below).
Problem:
When the table is scrolled all the way to the top, the links shift and no longer correspond the text.
Details:
The links and the table are grouped. They were cut and placed into a scrollable frame.
          The links work.
          The scrolling works.
          The links correspond properly to the text when the content is in the 'top left'.
          Scrolling partly up, the links are still okay.
          Scrolling all the way up, and the links scroll further than the table, causing them to be off.
Screenshot below:
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Bob. I think I found the problem -- the new guy hadn't removed the old scrollable frame from the text when he added the links, so the links were in a scrollable frame, and the text table was actually inside two scrollable frames.
Sorry to have wasted your time with something that turned out to be an error on our side.

EXPORTING SCROLLABLE FRAMES TO EPUB

HI ALL,
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO EXPORT SCROLLABLE FRAMES IN EPUB? I AM BUILDING AN EPUB BOOK FOR ANDROID AND I HAVE SOME SCROLLABLE FRAMES THAT WORK FINE WHEN I PREVIEW THEM, BUT THEN WHEN I EXPORT THEM THE FUNCTIONALITY IN TH EPUB FILE IS LOST. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM?
THANKS
CR

thanks Carl.
I had found this same link on the forum, but not being a programmer myself I was hopping there would be a more straightforward solution!
I am having a book a wrote on ibooks author and published with Apple, now trying to also do in a format that would be compatible with non-Apple users, but I am finding that for simple users like me InDesign is a bit of a nightmare! Apple has a number of plug-and-play powerful widgets in ibooks author and trying to get the same functionality in inDesign and EPUB does not seem to be possible.
but thanks for your help and for replying.

Scrollable frame prevents swipe to next page

Hello
Does anybody else find when they create a PDF format for the iPad that scrollable frames don't work as well as in auto format.
I have placed a large scrollable frame which takes up 3/4 of my page. When I swipe to the next page the scrollable frame wont let me swipe?
Cheers
Gemma

bugs and behaviour like this is a suspicious sign of a wrong architecture,
too many cooks/programmers ruining the menu (a German spoke word), or
incomplete testing.
DPS is a massive complex system.but for these, data models and information
architecture are critical to success.
I see movement at adobe here. there are more and more people from adobe
responding to problems, actually engineering on these forums and more
concise product management. one can feel that.
but sometimes, these "funny" things happen... they don't matter to the big
publishers still on sprint 15 or enterprise level publishers with their own
track if DPS (visible in the cryptic version number for the WIRED reader
and others).
but they matter to the designers, makers, thinkers and people on the
bleeding edge of DPS actually trying to produce stuff and stumble upon
these things.

Scrollable Frame causing viewer on iPad 1 to close

Hello,
I am about to launch my magazine on the iPad, just need to send the App for Apple's approval. Unfortunately I am facing the problem above when changing orientation on iPad 1, and I don't like the idea of launching a "buggy" product.
The scrollable frame that is causing the viewer to close is vertical and is 2517 px height.
Is there any size limit that I should keep when working with Scrollable Frames?
Thanks in advance.

You got a point here Bob!
My idea is to send the app with only a few (perfectly functional) articles for approval.
One other thing I can do is to not work on both orientations. I am using vertical and horizontal orientations to complement the content, on the vertical layout I have the main article and, in some cases, I use the horizontal to present photos as slideshows, scrollable frames...
But after your comment, I'll con tinue to try (harder) to overcome the problem.
Thanks.

Scrollable Frame solution for EPUB Fixed Layout

Hi,
I have found a solution (or, rather a hack) which allows us to create scrolling frames for EPUB Fixed Layouts.
You can find the exported EPUB, as well as my InDesign file on my Dropbox: EPUB scroll.
This solution has some weak points and has only been tested in iBooks on an iPad with iOS 8, but here's how it works:
Create two text frames (one as big as your text requires, and one which will be the container [tip: make the container a bit wider than the text frame])
Cut the big text frame, select the smaller container frame, and Edit->Paste into
Right click on the container, select Object Export Options, choose EPUB and HTML and enter "subchapter" as epub:type:
Open a text editor and create a new CSS file. For CSS code, see below
Export as Fixed layout EPUB. In the export dialog box, select the CSS tab and add the previously created CSS file
Done!
CSS code:
div[*|type = "subchapter"] {
position: relative;
div[*|type = "subchapter"] > div {
overflow: auto;
As you see, steps 1 and 2 are essentialy the same as for creating a scrollable frame folio overlay.
It’s not perfect, and this solution is just a proof-of-concept, but it should get you going.
An obvious problem is that we use basic HTML scrollbar, which is not being displayed in e-book readers such as iBooks on the iPad. Hence, the user has now idea how long the scrollable content stretches. This could probably be solved with a more complex, JS-based solution.
Also, the gradient feather at the bottom (which is intended to create a "fade-out effect) seems not to export well. This one should be easy to solve, placing another rectangle with a gradient in it. But I’m not sure if transparency exports well, and haven’t tested it.
Feel free to use, and improve, this hack!
Thanks,
/Jacob

Thank you Uwe,
I look and hold you aware of your solution in an environment EPUB

@Papo – then I would suggest not a scrollable frame, but an MSO you can click through showing the whole text.
1. Do some text frames the same size
2. Thread all the text frames to one story
3. Align the text frames
4. Make a MSO out of it:
The text frames are still threaded and text can easily flow between them.
5. Do some navigation buttons to control the MSO states:
"Go To First State", "Go To Next State", "Go To Previous State" etc.
Later you can change the text (add or remove, do different formatting) flowing in that story through the states.
A very flexible solution. Ok, it's not a scrollable frame, but something like that…
