Folio Overlay is Missing! InDesign CC won't update..?

alyweir Nov 27, 2013 1:05 PM

I am working in InDesign CC and want to create scrolling text in my pdf - for publishing on the iPad.
I have looked at various tutorials and they all call out "Folio Overlay" which seems to be missing from my Windows tab.

I was prompted to update, which I did - yet my problems still persisted. I was told by InDesign that I needed to update again, yet now when I go to update nothing happens.

I am not sure what the problem is... why can't I update? & where did my folio overlay button go?

I've moved this from the InDesign forum to DPS...

Scrolling text does not work in a PDF, only DPS which is why Peter moved this here. Check under help>updates to see if you're prompted to install the DPS Desktop Tools.

Same thing happening to me. JUST downloaded new InDesign CC. Folio Overlay missing. In Fact, I cannot even sign into Folio Builder because it says it needs says "A software update is required to use Digital Publishing Suite. Please go to the Help menu and select Updates to get the required software." However, InDesign is completely up to day (I just downloaded it), the CC installer says it is up to date, AND there is NO "Updates" in the Help menu. I am not sure what 'Update" the Folio needs.

I am having the same issue as clmurphy where it says i need an update but update is all grayed out. when i try downloading what i think i need directly from web it says "update failed. please contact your administrator if you wish to make updates to your machine. Updates have been suppressed by the Administrator"

anyone have a solution?

Try trashing your preferences and then try again.

Bob Levine... Preferences? System or Indesign Preferences??
Do you mean System > Library > Preference Panes??
Thanks for the help.
