As a newbie on iPad-Indesign-foliobuilder issues it took me two whole days now to figure out that

A a software calles "content bundler" does no longer exist and

B the new way of previewing files on an actual iPad - not with the desktop viewer is not working due to incompatibilities with the store App (v1.7.0)

Is that true so far??

I have an urgent client meeting this Tuesday where I have to show some of our magazine pages on the iPad.

Is there any way to get the content on the pad till than??

I'd be grateful for help.

This whole thing has killed two entire working days!!!!

And I turned to be very! unpolite to two telephone support guys WHO DID NOT HAVE ANY CLUE of the entire issue but did not admit this.

Anyway. Now I know more but still: see above.

With the greatest expectations,

Christian

Where did you complain? I wrote a mail to Appstore customer support but I don't think this will lead to something.

Makes me nervous...

Best,

Christian

Bob, the message should be much clearer. It is only focused on enterprise customers with branded viewers.

I read:

Please note that if you install the Folio Producer tools update 1.1.0 (step 2 below) you will create .folio files that are not compatible with previously created branded viewers ...

and then I stop reading.

I am hoping for red boxes with big exclamation marks for a warning.

Also, I could discuss the point of why releasing tools earlier again. but naaa... I'm to tired now ,-)

Bob,

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.

Hi all, I've the same problem and I can't wait to the update of the viewer are aproved by Apple (sigh!), but I've two questions.

I've the CS 5.5 and the folio producer tool updated to 1.1.0, then:

Can I install the folio producer tool 1.0 with CS5.5?

How can I uninstall the folio producer tool 1.1.0?

Thanks all for helpful

Maybe not the shortest way, but one that works as well: I found that the Android Viewer is showing the current folios with now problems. Luckily we had an Android HTC mobile ("Desire") at hand to try it out.Unfortunately the viewer doesn´t work on all android mobiles (my Samsung Galaxy 551 eg. didn´t allow installation).

I havn´t had a chance to try the app on an Android tablet yet, but assume that that would work as well.

And by the way: I can only join in to all the complaints around the disjunction of viewer (Apple) and creator (Adobe)´s versions. I don´t understand why there is a way to create folios for different viewer versions - especially not given the current long apporval processes of Apple.

1.0.1 producser tools are available for CS5.5, too.

acrobat.com still has problems until now. I can create workspaces and folios / articles, etc. They appear in acrobat.com but iPad viewer doesn't find the whole magazine until now or just find it but doesn't update or download contents.

Reported nearly 15 times now to adobe with many details. No solution yet.

Hi Gemma,

could it be (!!) that you misread that message telling you to update...?

Because if you see your content in the iPad viewer you got it!

And:

Everytime you change anything within your folio in Indesign you get exactly that update-message that wants you not to update the viewer but your folio file in the iPad. Could it be?... Here come two (german) screenshots:

I'd be glad, if this would be the solution.

Let me know,

Christian

I don't like Apple products anymore!!

... but still: this is an Adobe problem.
