In this episode of the Adobe Creative Suite Video Podcast I'll show you the UPDATED Folio Builder Panel in InDesign CS 5 and CS 5.5. Now it's even easier to go from InDesign to your iPad, Android tablet or Blackberry Playbook for free!

Great job Terry. I think you cleared up a lot of mystery in this video. Especially EPUB vs. DPS. (Though one day the twain may meet!)

I had a question about that last part about “sharing your folio with others.” When you enter an email address in the Share dialog box, it has to be the email address your recipient uses for their acrobat.com account, is that right? Because you said the recipient would need to “sign in” when they boot up Content Viewer on their device … you mean sign in to their own acrobat.com account?

  Sign in with their Adobe ID. Yes.

Thanks that was really useful!

But one more question! One folio is for free too store online. But must I upload it? Or can I make as much folio as I want to. As long it is on my disk?
Because I’m an artist/photographer and I wish to make 2 or 3 portfolios of my work per category (photo, traditional-, digitalart)

  You can only create .Folios online and currently you only get one free one.

Ah ok! Thanks!
Then I must make a big one! Or can I buy it in a 5 pact or something like that?
Btw what happen with the .issue files?

Thanks for this very helpful video. My question is, CAN you add articles to a folio or do you have to completely finish the design before you can start to test? i.e. CAN I do some articles today and then add more next week?
Thanks very much,
Beth Byers

  Yes, you can add additional articles at any point. No you do not have to start over.

Good post explaining the new folio builder panel differences!

My question is, can we prepare folio files and deliver to android devises?

Thanks!!!

  A second request: can you show us how it works if we have multiple folios we would like to create?
  
  Does the inDesign builder know where each folio is stored, or do we do the organizing at acrobat.com?
  
  Thanks!!!

Terry, thanks! I can’t believe how easy your video made it. Question: I will only have 1 folio project at a time, is the free one at a time, or just one once you have created a folio. Can you help with that? How much is the first provisioned level above free? I want to use it to make our marketing materials mobile for our real estate company.

  Currently you can have one active FREE .Folio at a time. If I make one called “Interactive Trees” then that’s one current one. If I later want one called “flowing water” then it will replace the Interactive Trees one. Hence, one free Active folio at a time. Pricing is here: http://www.adobe.com/products/digitalpublishingsuite/

Okay, can someone help me with the Pan & Zoom. I’ve had no luck making it work. When I try to add an article containing this feature, Folio Builder gives me the following message, “Content generation error: [Error: Invalid asset].” What am I doing wrong? 1) I place a big image on my page, scale it down, and crop the image by shrinking its image frame. 2) With the frame selected, I open up the Overlay Creator Palette, click on Pan & Zoom, and then select the Pan & Zoom radio button. What’s odd is that the Pan option works. Please help. Thanks.

I am having trouble creating buttons… i am trying to link a page to another InDesign page not within the same document but saved to the same folder they are held in. I can make a button go to a URL but not another page, is this possible? and what could I possibly be doing wrong?
