Known issues section-b2608177928b4174b080d89c938bb0d3

  • The May 2014 update of Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign is expected to introduce incompatibilities with plug-ins that create Scene7 FXG. These incompatibilities affect users of the Scene7 Web-to-Print solution. If you use Scene7 Web-to-Print, please do not upgrade Illustrator and InDesign to this Creative Cloud update. Instead, keep using the pre-May 2014 version. Adobe Inc expects the restoration of compatibility of Scene7 FXG creation with newer versions of Illustrator and InDesign in the Fall 2014 timeframe.
  • Embed Code button not working when the Universal Viewer preset contains disabled default AS2 preset.
  • Reprocessing of Adaptive Video Set always creates a new Adaptive Video Set.

  • Effective January 31, 2014, Scene7 officially ended support for the DHTML viewer platform.
  • Dynamic (Flash) Banners are being deprecated in this release.
