`I've no experience of this myself, but I presume you've downloaded the Content Viewer app on the Android tablet? Is it through this that you can't preview you folio? Any chance you're still logged into the acrobat.com account with the iPad? Not sure if that would even make a difference. Just throwing out some suggestions.

By the way, which Android tab are you using? We have to get one soon. The Motorola Xoom has impressed me the most so far, but that Galaxy 10.1 seems excellent too.

It's not just you. I installed the latest Adobe Content Viewer (straight from the App Market) to a brand new ASUS EEE Transformer Android tablet. Like kastART, I logged in but the app will not connect to my Acrobat.com account. I can see the folios in InDesign, on Acrobat.com, and on 11 iPads, but the Android app shows only the "New Guinea Adventure" sample folio, which doesn't work, by the way. The video, slideshow, and other overlays do nothing--tapping, sliding, etc. has no effect, as it would on static images.

So far, I have yet to hear of one Android-powered tablet actually showing a folio. I'm beginning to think the Content Viewer app simply doesn't work on any Android device.

Bob Bringhurst? Any thoughts on this? Have you ever actually seen the Content Viewer work on Android with a live Acrobat.com account and multimedia overlays? Has anyone at Adobe seen it work?

Just out of interest have all you guys now paid for the DPS licence, my point being are we still getting these issues even with paying the fee, and working with the latest updates. I've just paid my fee but still working outside of acrobat.com with drop 11, mainly because I create single issue apps!

I'm also just about to start on my first Android version. Looks like the transformer is best value/performer at the moment.

We have a 7 folio collection that a client is viewing on over 10 different Xooms using a paid acrobat.com account.  We have videos, MSOs, and image sequences in the folios and all are working.  These folios are being viewed using the latest Android version of the content viewer downloaded from the market (1.8.0.0.23535). Their Xooms are all running at least Android 3.1 and ours is running 3.2.  Others in the prerelease forum have been viewing folios on Galaxy Tabs and I can view folios on my Droid X as well.  There are limitations specific to the Android viewer, but not that many.  Have you tried creating a simple test folio with one or two articles to test basic functionality?  We've also had success with publishing single folios to free acrobat.com accounts and being able to view on both iPad and Android.  It should be working for you, it works for us.

Hi Bob,

this might be a stupid question for pros, but I'm still a beginner in digital publishing ;-)

How can I integrate videos in my magazine to publish them on an Android pad? Obviously, inline videos don't work.

Thanks a lot!

I've had the 1.8 viewer working on my HTC Desire for a while and aside from the limitations and observations that Bob mentions everything works fine. Obviously using a folio built for the iPad renders it totally unreadable and don't get me started on the blue slashes!!!

Hi all,

Perhaps I have the same problem as mobly.

we are having an issue with Content Viewer on Android tablet (v3.2.1). while viewing the folio, we are prompted with the following error:

This folio contains one or more PDF stacks which are not yet supported in Content Viewer for Android

Please note that the same folio works perfectly on iPad (iOS 4&5).

do you have any suggestions?

Hi all,

I am having the same problem as SABIS SES, and am working on the solution provided by Anil Yadav.

But the problem is, selecting the "Automatic" option makes me lose the zoom capability on iPad, whereas the pdf option makes me lose all of Android.

Is there no other solution?? I'd like to publish on Android and iPad without losing the ZOOM capability on iPad!!!

Thanks in advance

then how about publishing 2 versions of the same issue! one for iPad and one for android tabs

Hey Bob,

Just out of curiosity, is the PDF problem with the Android Viewer something that will be addressed, or is there basically not enough interest in Android to facilitate that? Either way I totally understand. We here are trying to deicide if we should continue support for Android becasue we are seeing a huge amount in Apple readership, and not very much Android readership. With all the new developments for the iPad and the magic of the PDF format, we are not to keen on doing any more leg work to continue support of a device that isnt really reaching our audience (Android). However, if the PDF issue were resolved its just added value since it would still be just one upload and we would continue support. Any word would be helpful here as we still on the fence about it, and are still pushing mediocre resolution magazines to iPad 3 while we make a decision.
