Acrobat XI on Win8.1 asks for Flash to create a Pdf Portfolio?

I've been running Acrobat X for a year or so and have created many pdf portfolios, but recently installed a trial version of Acrobat XI on my Windows 8.1 PC.  I then tried to create a portfolio from scratch, selected the files and got a message "To view the Flash technology content in this PDF file, please install this version of Flash Player that supports Adobe Reader and Acrobat." 
The Flash Installer link nor the ActiveX link will download for me and when I read further I find out that Win8.1 already includes Flash built in.  I go to the Flash test page and it tells me I have the latest Flash version installed.  I also do the Internet Explorer recommended checks (Shockwave, ActiveX filtering), all to no avail.  I don't know what else to try?  Any thoughts... 

When I click on the “Plugin” and select “Save As” I try to save to my Desktop the File name: install_flash_player_exe.  The yellow bar at the bottom immediately says “ install_flash_player_exe couldn’t be downloaded.”  I try the “Retry” button multiple times to no avail.  I then select the “View downloads” button and it shows that it only downloaded 254 bytes of said file from the site “fpdownload.macromedia.com” and the message “This file couldn’t be downloaded.”

    I don't know how that is possible, since Cloud accounts do not use a serial number... you download & install & activate Cloud programs with your Cloud log in to your paid account

  • Why when istalling acrobat 8 does windows ask for a vista cd??

    Why when istalling acrobat 8 does windows ask for a vista cd?????

    Hi,
    It seems to me that the installer is looking for AdobePDF.dll.
    If so, then when it asks you to insert Vista CD-ROM to find AdobePDF.dll,
    go to the AdobePDF.dll_64 in DATA1.CAB folder which is included in the Adobe install files on the disk.
    Copy the file to your system and rename it AdobePDF.dll and point the install program to that file.
    Revert in case of any issues.
    Regards,
    Ravi.

  • How to play facebook game such as cityville in ipad, because it asking for flash player, but cannot download it for ipad

    How To Play facebook games in iPad Safari?
    Safari is asking for flash player to play it.
    But i can't install it to iPad.
    Or may be i must upgrade the version of safari for iPad?
    or may be there some special application that can play facebook game
    Thanks 4 ur help

    Safari on the iPad does not support Flash and will not for the forseeable future.
    Some of the FaceBook games have their own apps in the App Store that you can download.Some are the full games and some are not. For example "Cityville Hero" tells you when certain things happen in game so you can pop online on a computer and check it there, rather than letting you play it first.
    Checking the App Store is the best place to find a way around using a site that requires a flash player. A lot of sites create apps so you can use them on the iPad/iPhone/iPod touch. And if you find a site that doesn't you can always contact the website creators to see if they have or will create an app for the iOS devices.

  • Running adobe captivate keeps asking for flash even though its already installed

    running adobe captivate keeps asking for flash even though its already installed

    iTunes will ask you to enter your password when buying songs for each browsing "session". This wouldn't explain why you are being asked to enter it every 3 minutes though.
    I would suggest logging out of your Apple ID on iTunes and logging back in. Also, you may verify that your computer is "Authorized" for use with your iTunes content.
    To do this on a Mac, go to the "Store" tab at the top of the screen and click "Authorize this Computer"

  • Can you create a table of contents for the documents within a PDF Portfolio?

    If I create a pdf portfolio that contains multiple documents (e.g. Word, multiple PDFs and Excel documents), is there a way to create a table of contents at the beginning of the portfolio to help navigate to the individual documents?

    Hi,
    The Files list displays a list of files, so the user can quickly see all the files in the portfolio with any information you want to share; title, description, file type, size etc.
    Or, you can also use a different layout, for example, the Linear and use the space next to each file to describe it.
    Hope this helps.......

    Good day,
    Beginning w/ the release of Mac OS 10.6.8, the process to create PDF files with Acrobat changed.  The Adobe PDF Printer no longer exists.  To create a PDF using Acrobat, please refer to the instructions in this document: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/cant-print-pdfs-mac-os.html

  • Acrobat asks for Flash

    Acrobat Pro XI keeps asking me to install Flash Player when I open certain documents, altought I alredy installed last version.

    Make sure you install the Netscape version (for Firefox etc., not the ActiveX version for Internet Explorer).

  • Why being asked for Flash Player update in Acrobat 9.5.2?

    In trying to view a PDF created in Captivate (for Flash Player 9) viewer is being old cannot see the PDF without updating Flash Player (running Windows XP). The problem is not there using Acrobat Reader 9.2. I thought Flash Player was incorporated into Acrobat Reader?
    Wondering if anyone can clarify.
    Thanks very much,
    Susannah

    It used to be, but in the updates for the Acrobat 9 Family (and in the Acrobat XI Family) it has been removed. See here for an explanation.

  • Flash Builder 4.7 ask for Flash Player 11.6

    Hi,
    I've installed Flash Builder 4.7 and air 3.6. When I try to test my movie I get a message saying I need the Flash Player 11.6 debugger. But it's currently in Beta, however I downloaded it anyway, but that doesn't fix the issue. When I continue some of the art is messed up. But it works fine when I test from FB 4.6.
    Any ideas?
    cheers.

  • Acrobat 8 Pro Installation asks for a non-existent file

    I just did a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on my Alienware laptop, FINALLY replacing the beta version. When I try to run the installation of Acrobat Pro 8 it gets most of the way through then stops, putting up a dialog instructing me to install my Vista DVD and point to AdobePDF.dll which is to be found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Xtras\AdobePDF\i386. This, of course, is absurd, as there is not such folder on any installation disk ... but I happen to have a Vista install disk, so I looked anyway, searching all over the disk with no luck. Then I looked on my Windows 7 disk. No success in finding the errant file there, either. They I checked that folder on my desktop computer, which has the identical operating system. I found an AdobePDF64.dll file and offered it to the installer, but it didn't like it. I even checked an old WinXP 32-bit computer I had laying around, but no such file exists there. I'm stuck. I cancelled out of the dialog demanding the .dll file and the installation proceeded to conclusion. The resulting Acrobat installation reads PDFs fine, but doesn't write them. Any clues?
    Thanks,
    Lanny T.

    Thanks for chiming in, Bill, but it seems like you missed my comment about checking my other computer, same OS, same Acrobat 8, and it installed fine into 64-bits. It didn't ask for any files from other disks, and I've been using it on that system for almost two years in that environment. I am puzzled, though, as to why all files needed for installation of any program would not be included on the installation disk.
