Acrobat XI won't play captivate published pdf

I have the most recent version of Acrobat Pro and Captivate 7 software. But when I publish a Captivate Project it won't open with Acrobat XI . But it will open with Reader.
Ideas?
Thanks

HI,
Can you please try to uninstall Flash Player and reinstall it again? I checked on my side and it works fine.
Please click on the below link to uninstall Flash Player:

Embedded audio and video clips won't play in a pdf doc.

I have an EPK with embedded clips that won't play. I've udated all my software, and followed the isntructions for allowing 3rd party content ot be stored. Macbook Pro with all updates installed.

The "wm" part of the file extension is a Windows Media Player format.
They are not compatible in QuickTime without third party software help.
http://flip4mac.com is the Microsoft recommended method for Mac users to view WMP formats and they offer a "beta" version for Snow Leopard users.
Your AVI file has the same troubles but the fix may be a bit easier to fix:
http://perian.org (for the codecs) and the older QuickTime Player.
To install QuickTime Player you use your Snow Leopard DVD and the "Optional Installs" package.
It will install in your Utilities folder.

Strange problem - video won't play in a pdf

Hi all!
I regularly create interactive pdfs with videos using LaTeX. This has worked nice before. However, lately I cannot play videos. Clicking a video window yields no reaction (except from crushing AR sometimes). This happens on win7 platform with AR X and XI. However, the same file works on a mac, ever since I've instaled the latest AR and flash player.
Now, here's a funny thing - if a video file is moved from it's relative path, the thing actually works! Clicking the window results with a warning and an option to browse for a replacement file. Choosing whatever video file (including the intended one) results with a video being played as it was supposed to!
Anyone?

Regarding Acrobat Reader XI, http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/flash-player-needed-acrobat-reader.html
"Adobe Reader and Acrobat no longer include Flash Player and features that require Flash now leverage the machine’s local copy of Flash."
"Note that the Flash Active X component is not enough to display this content. A full Flash player must be installed."
I find that really weird because on that same page they give a link to Flash Player installs for IT, which required me to apply for a distribution license, after which I received a download link for .exe and .msi downloads. Adobe says not to provide that link, so if you want to go to that page you also need to apply for a distribution license (free, took maybe 30 min). However both of the download options of .exe and .msi were active x installers... install_flash_player_12_active_x.exe and install_flash_player_12_active_x.msi.
So basically, Adobe explains the problem of requiring an additional Flash Player install to get Flash to play back in Reader but they specify that it cannot be done with an active x installer. But the link they provide for IT only gives the option to download active x installers. I already submitted feedback for that webpage but that doesn't help me for now. I don't want to try to distribute the normal flash installer because I don't want to end up with a bunch of computers with the Google Toolbar installed and an annoying automatic updater which prompts users to update but then denies them the ability to update with admin privileges.

Video won't play in Interactive PDF

Hi,
I am attempting to export an interactive pdf with video and I have followed all the steps in the user guide.
However, While all other elements seem to function fine, when I attempt to click on the video file I am presented with a blank screen.
Initially I was using an mp4 file but I have converted this to f4v with no success. I have made sure to keep the original frame size.
The file plays fine in SWF preview.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

In Acrobat Reader, check the Multimedia Trust (legacy) setting. You can set the permissions of how the media players handle multimedia files. The settings are: Prompt, Always and Never. If "Never" is applied, then you would need to change to one of the other settings. Also, you have individual settings for Quicktime and Flash. And individual settings for trusted documents and other documents.
Keep in mind, these are application settings, and will only affect your app, not the document and how others will experience the multimedia files.

.swf won't play when published, but will in DW

I had posted this a few days ago, any help would be greatful, thanks so much.
first off, I have looked just about everywhere else to find this problem and no other solutions have worked yet.
here's the problem
I have 4 pages
3 are made from templates and one isn't
on the template ones, I have a .swf and when I publish it, it plays.
on the non-template homepage, I have a .swf file and when it is published, it doesn't load at all.
I have tried many things.
- build a new .swf and place it in there
- rebuild the homepage
- make the homepage into a template and then put the flash in
- and probably some other things
the file name is correct, the source name is correct ( /folder_name/file_name.fla)
it is correctly in dreamweaver and when I preview everything works.
any help would be greatly appreciated...I really don't want to start over from the beginning just to see if it works.

Audio won't play on published files

I'm working on a Flash project that has 12 short .mp3 files
in it. When I test the .fla on my machine I can hear the audio,
however when I open the published .html file, no audio is heard.
Any ideas why this happens? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply. To answer your questions:
A couple of questions -
1. Are the mp3s embedded in the swf or loaded? Embeded
2. Are they "streaming" or "events" I've tried both Streaming
and Events with same results
3. Which browsers have you tried it on? Just IE6

SWF plays in IE & Firefox preview but won't play when published -- please help

Hello, so after trying severally to finally get my flash video to work, i'm stumped with another problem! When i preview it in IE and firefox,it works perfectly with all the lnks working as well. But once i upload to my ftp, there's a white blank space where the video is supposed to be. Please let me know what i'm doing wrong. I'm using Flash CS3 and Dreamweaver CS3. I've uploaded all files (the html page, fla. and swf.) to the ftp but still, it doesn't work. The src file is linked to a file in my root folder. I'm very new to this so any suggestions will be very much appreciated. Below is the code as it shows in my dreamweaver. thanks!

Have you also uploaded the AC_FL_RunContent.js file to the server per whatever the location of it is specified as in the html code?

Presenter 9 after I publish the file won't play on my computer

Hi,
Quick version- presenter 9 won't play a published file. It starts the viewer, but the green circle just spins.
Details-
brand new computer, fresh download of presenter 9 today.
Win 8.1
office 2013
Firefox browser
FIle created in Presenter 7 on aother computer, copied into a new computer (along with all the resource and data and so files).
it's long, about 45 min
I am able to preveiw the entire thing- audio works, embedded shockwave demos created in captivate work. It just won't play in the browser. I've tried both 'view output when complete' when I'm publising it, and just manuallly clicking on the index file after it's published. neither works. I also tried using explorer but that was worse- it leaves a white screen without even loading the viewer.
just to test I made a new presentation with only a couple slides and no audio. that will publish and play in the browser properly.
I have the latest flash and shockwave.
It seems like it should work since it previews fine.
any ideas??
thanks!

Hi Sunil-
I watched the global settings video and added my C: drive and also the entire 'my adobe presentations' and the indivisual file for this presentation to the allow list. It didn't help. is there something else I need to do on the flash settings other than this 'allow' list? (picture below).
The other option you mentioned was transfering using a package. my old computer has Presenter 7. I don't see in that version of presneter an option to create a package. I can try that if you can tell me how to do that.
finally, if i would need to share a file with you how would I do that? it's a 24000 KB file.
thanks for the help!

Flash 9 won't play my Captivate 2 published videos

I recently received a new computer at work. We create videos
with Captivate 2, and the latest versions of Flash (9.115) and
Shockwave (10) are installed on the computer. Creating the videos
is no problem, but when I Publish them, Flash 9 or Shockwave 10,
I'm not sure, will not play the published .swf files. When I try to
choose "Open With" I cannot find a file on my computer that is the
actual Flash Player. When I click on the file to open it, it gives
me an Adobe message that asks me to download an update. I download
the update, and it says it was successful and the new version will
be available after Restart. But when I restart and try it again, I
get the same update message over and over again. It still works on
my old computer, which has Flash 9.0.47.0 and Shockwave 10.2.0.23.
I'm intentionally dismissihng the update notifications that I
receive on my old computer for fear getting the same error.
Any suggestions? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling
Captivate, Flash, and Shockwave, and I've tried downloading the
older versions of Flash and Shockwave. I can not find a download
for Flash 7.0 r14, which is what my old computer opens the .swf
files with, even though in Add of Remove Programs the Flash Player
says 9.0.47.0.
Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure if this is related to the same problem, but I'm
using DW CS3 and now when I embed a swf file into the html, I can
preview on my computer locally, however when I post on the hosting
server, the swf file does not appear. I've tried two separate
servers and I've received the same results. I've even created a new
html file and simply embeded the swf file and uploaded to server,
same results. Now here's the kicker: If I type the url and point it
directly to the swf file, it does play in the browser, for example:
http://bald-head-island-rental.net/flash/Movie1.swf
If you take a look at the index page where the swf file
should be embedded, you won't see this same file:
http://bald-head-island-rental.net
The file should play just above "Owners: Aaron and Kelly Williams"
Thanks!

Captivate 4 published SWFs won't play suddenly

Hello, I have been happily making Captivate 4 training, using a template. The published SWry mF movies have been playing just fine... on my PC and several others.
But today went to show off my work to the boss... who HAS successfully played previous Captivates I've made, and they won't play.
Double-clicking the HTM, or trying to open the SWF from the browser just shows a blank white screen that does nothing. What would cause a published SWF, etc., to suddenly not play on selected machines... the owner doesn't remember chanigng anything...
And, what would be my trouble-shooting sequence to try and fix this problem?
Thank you very much

Hi there
Same dog, different leg action. In other words, what you linked to is a red herring.
What I mean by that is the article you linked to is referring to an inability to preview from Captivate 3. You are talking about Captivate 4 and the issue doesn't seem to manifest until after you publish, right?
Sure, Flash Player 10 may appear to be the common link at the moment, but we don't know for sure. With Captivate 3, the issue was only with preview. The output worked just fine. So the issue there is with an internal mechanism in Captivate as you work to create your content. What you are seeing now is certainly related to the internals of Captivate, but 4 is a new beast. It would seem that 4 has maybe introduced something causing this for you.
There may have been a few other posts related to this phenomenon. But they are very few and far between. Given the widespread use of the Flash Player, if it were solely an issue with the Player, I might expect we would have seen loads of reports. But we haven't.
I'll be very interested to see what you discover. Out of curiousity, I'm guessing you have attempted different combinations of settings? AS2 VS AS3, externalizing items, etc.?
Cheers... Rick

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate. When I "Preview In Browser" through Edge it plays (I have created a shape and used the "play video full screen" snippet) in full screen mode just fine. When I "Preview Site In Browser" through Muse and click on the shape to PLAY VIDEO FULL SCREEN, it does nothing. I am new to both programs and can't figure out why it will work out of the preview window in Edge and won't work when I publish to Muse. Does anybody have an answer or a work-around for me?

Adobe Acrobat Pro won't edit document created by Illustrator 2 and saved as PDF

I've tried multiple things, but can't get Acrobat Pro to edit text within a PDF file which was created by Illustrator cs2 "Accumulated text within the attempted selection area is rotated other than horizontal or vertical. Touchup cannot create a text selection area.". I've searched google, read help....
Fix was to download NitroPDF. It quickly and easily edited the text. So why won't Adobe do it...

The same thing happens with pdf files that are not zip files even if saved from Acrobat Pro on my computer.

Video/Movie won't play when exported as a PDF.

Hello,
I am creating an interactive PDF using CS5 to display video work. Unfortunately, the video won't play when exported as an interactive PDF, I am just left with blank space. I find this very odd as it plays in preview and also when exported as a SWF but that file type is unsuitable for the project.
Initially when I exported it I got this message: "One or more of the interactive elements are clipped in ways the pdf files can't reproduce...." Obviously, I have ensured the file is resized correctly and also tried .mov, .mp4 and also .flv file types with no success. I have also checked the simple things like ensuring all the right boxes are ticked when I export.
This is not the first time I have embedded video but it is the first time without success despite following the same pattern. Any ideas as to why this would be and how to fix it?
Thank you,
Laura

Use Flv or f4v format, after you have placed video into your layout, make sure that you don´t scale or crop video frame at all.
(Whren you File > Place a video, you will have a loaded cursor with video icon. Click the empty spot on page with loaded cursor, don´t draw a rectangle or click on the top of some exisiting frame)
It´s important that you have your video in 100% encoded size in your layout. If you need to scale or crop it, load that video into Adobe Media Encoder and do it there, and re-encode the video to the correct size and shape aftrwards.
Adobe Media Encoder ships with InDesign.

Acrobat 3D won't publish with 3D controls in Powerpoint

Acrobat 3D won't publish with the 3D motion controls when published as a powerpoint packaged CD show or as Adobe Presenter files. Controls only appear in the native powerpoint PPT form.

I did a little more testing and here's what I found. If your
audio files reside on a network server (regardless of where your
presentation resides), the publish process will crash when trying
to access the audio. I had to copy my audio files from the server
to my hard drive and import them to the presentation. Then it
published ok. Go figure.
