I thought the Adobe Content Viewer was a thing of the past! That was the
old testing viewer for DPS. When the new In Design came out in 2017, the
Digital Publishing features didn't work with individual articles
anymore. It's likely that iOS didn't support that old viewer when
updates came out, or Adobe never bothered updating it to be supported on
the new iOS. If you are signed up for AEM, you should be able to create
your own preflight app for iOS.
This is kind of a strange issue I'm having and wondering if anybody else
is. When I add invisible buttons to a PDF and put it in AEM mobile, when
opening on a Windows device the page shows a blue box around where I put
the button. I want the button to remain invisible to the user. It doesnt
show up on iPads, Just Windows Devises. Any idea why?
This issue dates back nearly a year now from InDesign CC 2015 for
Windows when the Overlays panel was updated. When overlays is clicked,
options appear on top of each other as shown in the attached image. When
this happens, the options are un-clickable and can't be used. The only
way to fix this is to go into Appdata Local and Roaming folders and
rename the en_GB etc folders to OLD. That resets it temporarily, but in
order to do that you have to close out of InDesign go to the folders,
rename, t...
I'm working on loading fonts and changing colors to customize my app
using the new tools for app customization. However, I only see options
for iOS and Android. Will there also be the same tools coming for a
Windows app so it will look the same across device platforms?
Is this still being worked on by chance? It seems to be happening more
and more often, I am having to go into AppData almost every time before
I start InDesign to rename the files.
I'm working in Windows, on a bit of a slower machine. The thing you
mentioned does sound like the issue, except mine don't go away in a
second or two. Sometimes it takes up to 10 minutes or more to go away,
if at all. There are no particular steps to trigger it happening, it
just happens or it doesn't. It only became an issue with the new
overlays panel, before that everything worked fine.
Is there any update to this yet? I reset the preferences and that seemed
to work for awhile; however, now that I have been using overlays again
the problem is back. again, it doesn't happen every time, just randomly.
Then if I sit there pushing buttons or wait long enough it will work.
However, very annoying! Here are some images of mine, trying to create
an image sequence but the video options wouldn't go away.

Thanks for sharing the tip on how to reset the preferences, gave it a
try and so far so good! Also, Bob speaks the truth about the Overlays
Panel. If you are only publishing online, you can ignore the Overlays
Panel completely because none of it will work. You will have to stick
with buttons to navigate.
Bob Bringhurst - Adobe : Thanks so much! This worked great and on the
first try. We now have our entitlement service up and running thanks to
this response and it's working great incorporated in our app. Please
pass along my thanks to Mike Yang and any others that helped out! Great
article!
I moved this question over from the InDesign forum since more users
probably use this feature here. There was another post about it over in
the InDesign forum already but nobody ever responded and it got buried
with all the other "issues".
I have the same issue, been having it off and on since they changed the
Overlays panel. Sometimes it works and sometimes the text is
overlapping, unreadable and options not able to click on. I keep
thinking Adobe will release an update to fix it, but nothing!
Is anybody else having issues with the new Overlays Panel in InDesign
CC2015? Sometimes it seems to work while sometimes it doesn't. It seems
to have 2 things selected at the same time, like Video and Scrollable
Frame, then the options overlap each other making it impossible to read
and none of the options can be selected. It is really annoying when
working with multi-page documents with different overlays. The issue
started to happen just after the update with the new Overlays panel,
never had ...
Is there a way to increase the cache size? I'm having the same issue
with stuff disappearing for users if offline. When they are offline is
when they need it the most as they are in front of buyers presenting the
content. I'm probably always going to have between 1 and 2 GB worth of
content within the app.
This is very good news, thank you so much! If you could let me know when
its available with a link it would be much appreciated. The person on my
team I am working on this with is pulling out her hair, I'll pass along
the good news and tell her to take a break on it until next week.
Do you know when a new entitlement service article that works with AEM
would possibly be available? We are really struggling to setup an
entitlement server using the older DPS documentation. The reason most
likely is because AEM no longer needs an integrator ID, but the older
methods require you to get an integrator ID to get the system working
and Adobe keeps coming back with errors that the system isn't working or
connecting to the AEM app. We are kind of in a catch 22 with the whole
Integrato...
Thanks for your help and tips! We will try to use these examples to get
things working in AEM. We have our Enterprise app up and running, but
now our users are requesting their custom content specific to their
accounts. So...we are struggling through this entitlement setup trying
to figure it out.
How to install the DPS Entitlement Server | Adobe Developer Connection
There is the link with step by step we were following. If DPS and AEM
use the same entitlement system, wouldn't this step by step still be
accurate?
Uhh, is there better documentation somewhere? Like a step by step? The
link you referred to is a jumbled mess! We had found a good step by step
that was used for DPS and were using that since it says AEM uses the
same system. We only got stuck on the Integrator ID portion. But now the
whole thing has changed? Step One: "Set up an entitlement Server."
OK?!?????
I have a person setting me up with an entitlement service for my AEM app
and they are asking me for my Integrator ID. they are saying I have to
obtain that from Adobe in order to get the Entitlement service to work.
How do I go about getting an Integrator ID?
Bob Bringhurst, is there a similar option to the Quicktime solution for
a PC? Or is mirroring the only option for PC? I used to utilize Preview
on Desktop for DPS with the depreciated view; however, now I'm on AEM.
The mirroring solutions also have a depreciated view/lag etc, so if
there are other options for PC it would be nice to know. (Also, the PC
is on Windows 7....so can't load the Preflight app and go that route)
You might check out Airplay apps like Mirroring360, Reflector or Air
Server. Each of them has a free trial and about $15 to buy a single
license. I had the same question because I will be training off site
employees on how to use new apps via GoToMeeting and have to mirror my
iPad to the computer and big screen (for those in house). Even before
launching your app, you can load AEM Preflight or Adobe Content Viewer
(depending on which DPS version you are using), You can run the content
from your ...
Thanks for the answer, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing
something and one of my colleagues was asking me to incorporate that
feature as it was a popular tool to scroll through large articles. We
are basically using it as a presentation tool across multiple
collections. Then each collection has multiple articles within it
created from InDesign; however, the articles are multi-page with
horizontal scroll enabled. It would be nice to have something, even just
a scrubber tool on the botto...
I have rather large articles with many pages. How do I make it so when a
user touches the article while viewing to bring up options it also
brings up the small page thumbs along the bottom to scroll through and
select/navigate? This was a feature in DPS when using folios but the
page thumbs aren't showing along the bottom in AEM articles. Is there a
step I'm missing to make those appear in the viewer app?
So basically I have to continue the headache of having 2 different
InDesign apps? Do you know if they will keep the DPS tools around for
CC2014 or be dropping them in the future? I'd hate to lose the tools one
day without there being a solution for us little guys (non-enterprise).
