Web content embedded in a layer.

i would like to see my web content (or my local folder) into a layer and navigate it inside there. not into the external or app browser. how can i force my mouse click to launch any browser but load page into the layer of my stack?

Hello,
What I would suggest is try to do everything from your html webresource. Add following code to set you field's value during onload:
document.getElementById('input20').value = window.parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute('hidden field id').getValue();
Add following code to onchange hanlder to put changes back:
window.parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute('hidden field id').setValue(document.getElementById('input20').value);

Short of dismantling and recreating a page how do i find out whats causing [Error: Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay]

Hi,
i received an indesign file to include in a folio that had links to the creators desktop where they had the assets for the web content overlay. When i try to update the folio i get the error message:
"Content generation error.
[Error: Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay]"
Which is fair enough.
The problem is, i have gone through and changed all URLs that I can see, but there is one somewhere, that I just can't find.
Is there a way to get a list of all web content overlays in a particular file? otherwise i will need to recreate the whole page again, and it has some pretty complex interactions which i rather wouldn't do.
I also cannot ask the original doc creator to just change the links as i'm sure he'll have the same issues as me, at not being able to track down the erroneous link.
The problem I have with DPS is that its not very transparent. you'll have to click on everything, and into every group to see what actions are on it, which can be extremely time consuming and frustrating when complex interactions are included.
thanks in advance for any assistance

I’ve found watching the process helpful to narrow down the page.
Working off a duplicate of the file, delete one layer at a time until you figure out what layer the problem is on.
From there it’s a bit easier to narrow down.

Typekit font not displaying in iPad DPS app (created by Indesign) in Web Content (Edge Animate)

I think I have tried every permutation to make this work, but I am probably missing something.
I am creating a single DPS iPad app with InDesign, and I am using a Typekit font throughout. So far so good.
I have created an Edge Animate project using the same Typekit font. In preview mode, it is fine as well.
However, when I place the Edge Animate project into a frame in InDesign and use the Web Content Folio Overlay (regardless of whether I use the .oam file or link directly .html output published by Animate), the Typekit font will not show up in the Edge Animate portion of the DPS app and will instead use a fallback font.
Can anyone suggest a way to make Typekit fonts in Edge Animate work when embedded in a DPS app? (For what it's worth, I have the same problem when embedding html output from Tumult Hype, so it seems unlikely that this is an issue with Edge Animate at all and probably has more to do with something in the way the DPS app is dealing with embedded html content.)
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Believe me, I understand the pain. Unfortunately there's only so much we can do at Adobe as the EULAs provided by the foundries for their respective fonts are very explicit in where you can and can not use them.
For example, packaging an InDeisgn file and sending it off for pre-press with the fonts included in the package is in direct violation of most font EULAs. In a studio environment, you're only allowed to have a font installed on n number of computers and need to have multiple licenses to accomidate >n number of seats. When creating a PDF, fonts explicitly have to be subsetted before embedding into the PDF.
That's just to paint a picture of the fragile state of using fonts in print, usage in digital mediums is just another bee in your bonnet when it comes to considering when you can and cannot use a font.
Services like Typekit Desktop are trying to make this easier by removing a lot of those pain and condierations for you, by blanketing all these fonts under a single license you're free to use for print and the web. There's still some gotchyas, but we're aiming to greatly reduce how much you have to think about it where we can.
So yes there's a bit of education when it comes to mixing embedded HTML content/fonts with DPS, but at least there's options

Web content interactivity puzzler

Hi all,
Hope someone can offer me a way forward on something I'm puzzling over. We're currently developing an App which (we hope!) involves a clickable map with various points of interest, so that when the user taps on one, the visible content in a second frame (an MSO) changes to provide info.
Seems like it should be simple enough, but the map issue is giving me a headache – is there any way of using HTML in the web content to control the state of the MSO? This would allow the user to zoom the map in and out and then tap on Point-of-interest markers to alter the MSO.
The obvious workaround is to effectively make the map a static image with a layer of invisible buttons on top so the user just pans around on it - we'll settle for that if necessary, and it won't be the end of the world because we want the map to function offline anyway, but I still really wanted to use OpenStreetMap/OpenLayers so that the whole thing would "work" as a map rather than an image, with tiled zoomability, layered overlays, and geolocation if the user opts for it...
Any thoughts, or is this the kind of thing you can only do by learning Objective C and Cocoa?
Thanks in advance!

Hello Giles,
Today, while searching for how to add Google Maps to dps, I found this post, and I thought it would probably give you a clue on how to achieve what you want, it's based on the google maps API, but is a very interesting solution. I hope it helps.

Please, if you try, let us know if it worked.
Regards and good luck.

SF + HD images in web content

Coding html content in Dreamweaver cs6 and embedding it into DPS, I have the impression that the SD and HD png buttons (part of the embedded web content) don't differ on iPad 1 and iPad 3 (retina display).
I built the png buttons in normal size and double size for retina display (in a separate HD folder)
Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems, the resolution is equal or even a bit better on iPad 1 although there is an HD folder with the double sized png's - with the same name as the SD png's.
I made the following test: I removed the HD folder from the „images folder” and interestingly the quality of the resolution on iPad 3 was the same.
So: where is my mistake?

The HD folder method doesn't work with HTML. You would need to manually change the loaded image through media queries in CSS.
Try targeting the device pixel density with:
@media
only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio : 2),
only screen and (min-device-pixel-ratio : 2) {
/* Styles */
Another option it to save only the HD images, and set the img size in percentages rather then in pixels, which would make it fluid and present high res on the retina display.
Hope this helps

Viewing flash web content on N97

I've just got myself the new N97 (love it, btw). The web browsing is far better than what it was on the N95. (personal opinion). The only problem: I can't view flash web content. I can find the Flash player, but I'm talking about embedded flash videos on websites. For example: Visit www.family-secrets.net, my own website. I'm using an embedded flash player to play videos. I can't view these on my phone. I was under the impression that the N97 did come with the ability to play flash web content. Was I wrong? Or am I missing something here?
Thanks,

You need to use airplay or mirror. What mac or device do you want to stream from?

Web content overlay - always "on top"?

Hi
In my Indesign DPS doc, I have a top later with content and a second bottom layer with some html 5 animation showing within a web content overlay box.
Everything previews well, except the overlay content always seems to be "on top". guess this makes semse since it is really just a "web window" but I thought I would ask since it will impact my designs moving forward...
Thank you-
S

Overlays always rise to the top, which is why they're called overlays. If you want to cover part of an overlay, you need to use another overlay. A common approach is to create a 2-state MSO with two identical images and auto play set to 1.

Content generation error: invalid url for web content overlay

Hi,
I am having an error message " content generation error: invalid url for web content overlay" when I want to upload the article.
I don't have any link with that article and this is my 1st time having this kind of error. I am using indesign CC
Please help.

YouTube embed in web content overlay crashes InDesign when previewing

I created an HTML file with this code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xxxxxxx" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</body>
</html>
I then created a box in InDesign and used the Web Content Overlay and selected the HTML file I created.
When I go to preview my pub on the connected iPad InDesign stops responding during "Checking Folio Contents x of x"
Is something wrong with my HTML file? Is it even possible to do this?
For background info: I'm trying to get the same effect of streaming a video from YouTube as I would if I were to directly embed the mp4 into my pub. I don't know if this is even possible or what is the best way to do this.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks Bob.
Okay, so here are the steps I'm taking:
1. Go to YouTube
2. Copy embed code
3. Go to InDesign
4. Paste embed code
This creates a web content area with the video embeded. So the user can click play on the video once it loads and can then click full screen on the video controls.
What I'm trying to do is have a button on my page which links to a full screen view of the YouTube video so when the page loads the video doesn't load but when the user clicks the button it would then load the YouTube video full screen. I'm looking for the same functionality that is possible were I to embed an mp4 straight into my document, hide it, and then create a button that plays the video in full screen mode.
Is the above possible?
Thanks.

Fixed Layout ePub - please help me embed video and/or use Folio overlay with web content

Hi
I have an In Design file used to create a print book (11"x11") and have decided to use CC 2014 to create a fixed-layout ePub 3 for a digital version. I converted the book over with minor issues of having to change the font and it looks beautiful.
I would like to add videos at the end of the book to take advantage of the flexibility of the digital format. I create a year-end slideshow of my photos and host them on Vimeo.
I have tried the following:
Using the Vimeo standard embed code in an HTML element
Using the old flash Vimeo embed code and converting to HTML - worked great on iBooks on Mac but not on iPhone/iPad as flash-based
Hosting and linking to videos on my own web server and using the Media - insert video link to the mp4 file
Hosting and linking to videos on my old photo server at smugmug.com
I can embed the actual videos but, at their smallest size they increase the file size of the ePub from 78MB to 400MB...
I then thought I would use a Folio Overlay - Web Content.
The idea is to use this blank page on my website which would look for all intents and purposes like another white page in the book - 2012 Slideshow - Oren Photography
The overlay works in Folio Preview but not when exported as an ePub
Is this a limitation of the ePub format?
Any help/advice/suggestions on fixing this are greatly appreciated.
E

Thanks again Steve and Bill
My interest in embedding videos was largely to minimize the final file size and amount of space used on each person's device. I ended up following your advice about using Adobe Media Encoder to minimize the size of each slideshow but it still increased the final ePub from 65 MB to over 200 MB. And that was with video quality that was far inferior from what I could offer through an embed or, my final solution, a link out to my website.
I happen to be of the same thought as Bill that most people are now connected to the internet and would favor a smaller file with access to online content over a very large file. I would have liked to embed the videos and allow 720p quality inside the ePub over the link I ended up settling for.

Is there any step-by-step tutorial on how to program the web content viewer to resize

II'm working on my portfolio site and have couple of DPS projects that I want to post in there and need to know how to modify the web content viewer to adjust for different screen size. Than you.

If you are using an embedded web viewer, this developer network article provides some information on how to resize it:

Reliable update of Web Content in Overlays

Hi,
whenever I'm creating Web Content Overlays in Folios I stumble about the problem, that they wont update on the DPS Servers. So if I change, let's say the CSS of the embedded Web-Content, save the .CSS, the InDesign File and update the Article via FolioBuilder sometimes the content stays the same when I update via Adobe Viewer on iPad.
My workaround now: Create a different HTML file in a different folder and point to that new folder/file from the Web Content Overlay. But this is really ugly and stops me from developing faster.
Any idea?

If you are testing on iOS then this is unfortunately a bug in iOS, not a bug in DPS. The operating system is caching the files even after we update them and feeding the cached content to the web overlay

Video heavy web content folio app breaks when sent to background

Hi all,
I was pointed to here after asking a question on the Facebook page.
Basically, the DPS App we have created seems to not have been done before - we had gone down the native app route prior to this, but due to costs and compliance issues we could not go down that route, so we are trying to achieve getting the same project to work in DPS.
The main aim of the project was to have seamless transition from still image with hotspots, to short video, back to still image, thus creating a nice user journey. The quickest way to achieve this was using HTML and Javascript 'loops'. If this was done in InDesign, we were told it could've taken weeks!
Basically though, the videos are embedded and constantly updated with new video info and then played again using HTML/JS/jQuery - this works well and looks great, until the application is minimised. The video then breaks (This error occurred in the native app too, for whatever reason sending the app to background and back to foreground causes the video element to break) and only brings back a black screen with a Q. All I need to do is clean the video code or return the user to the splash screen when they press the home button.
I was wondering, does anyone here have any tips to getting HTML/Javascript to know that the app is no longer being viewed and is in the background? Or is there a way of returning the user to the splash screen on home button press - native apps have the ability to integrate & communicate with the hardware, will this functionality be released? Or could there be another way?
Any help appreciated!

Thanks Bob.

Typefaces within Web Content

I'm guessing the majority of us using DPS are print designers. I'm trying to add a little HTML flavour to my magazine. So I've created some web content that functions like a mag page and in Dreameaver I've created some files that look like the pages in my magazine but behave dynamically. It's all good, my web content overlays work and publish correct on my tablet however becasue my CSS rules contain the local typefaces of the magazine (Benton, Amplitude etc) they do not publish at all. They render in times or something. :( Dreamweaver is becoming familiar but I am a mear beginner. So I'm hoping someone who is a little more web savy can tell me how to embed these faces into my HTML file that render correctly once published. Best regards YC

dear YC
it is possible add fonts to your HTML with the @font-face CSS rule and into
webfonts converted typefaces.
there is a popular fontface generator by font squirrel.
when using commercial fonts as webfonts on the web you need to check if the
licence of the webfont allows embedding (many from big type foundries need a
special licence)
this licence allows you to publicly embedd fonts on public webpages.
including webfonts in HTML stacks is technically the same for public web.
however, you HTML in the magazine could not be considered as "public" wich
would not necessary require a licence but that has to be checked.

DPS and Coldfusion in Web content Folio Overlay

InDesign CS6 with DPS on a Mac. I create a frame and insert a Folio Overlay Web Content to access a Coldfusion Website page. I get an error message that the asset cannot be located. I tried redirecting the page using a . html page. Same result. Tried redirecting using .htm only and that appeared to work. Is there some way I can use DPS Folio to access a Coldfusion page inside of the Web Content Overlay?

Thanks Bob.
