Adobe Portfolio to be read without flash plugin

Dear All
I prepare Portfolios with Acrobat pro. But my users belong to a global Enterprise and thus it is not possible to install individually the Flash Plugin for the Reader. Is there a solution to create Portfolios without Need of Flash components?
Thanks for comments.

Thank you for your answer. The point is, that Flash must be installed seperately to the Reader in addition! to the Maschine. And this is not suitable.  In my opinion this is conceptually a very unadaquate  solution if a have to buy a product without its Basis. So I need very quickly a new tool as a universal solution to collect and structure data.

  • Presenter, Flash plugins and pain...

    I will try to make this short...
    I have the following:
    Windows 7
    Office 2010
    Presenter 8 (8.0.1 build 260)
    Acrobat Reader XI
    IE9
    I have published countless pdf's from Presenter without a hitch until recently.
    When opening the pdf I am greeted with a flash error warning, so I check my pc for flash and everything is installed and working correctly.
    What can it be I here you ask?
    I decide to re-install Flash, so I un-install the version I have and using IE9 I go to Adobe.com and install the latest version (11.6.602.168).
    This is the Active X version I here you all cry in unison!
    Yes it is!
    It is the version installed when you are using Windows 7 with IE9.
    BUT
    This version does not open my pdf's created with Presenter.
    I have to download the Flash plugin for other browsers!
    AHHHHHHHH!
    When did this happen?
    I am certain that when I last created pdf's from Presenter the standard flash plugin was able to open my files...
    I have hundreds of students who may all have to download an alternative plugin because the IE9 active x plugin does not open the pdf.
    This means downloading an alternative browser and installing flash from within or me sending a link out with the pdf's.
    This cannot be right... surely.
    please tell me I am doing something wrong and there is a simple solution or point me in the right direction...
    thx

    Hello,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    As per this KB Document : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-acrobat-flash-player-download.html
    Latest version of Adobe Reader and Acrobat no longer bundles a Flash Player with the application for the purposes of rendering Flash technology content within the page.
    You need to install Adobe Flash Player plugin to view Flash content on a PDF
    Thanks,

  • Adobe Reader Updates and Flash Plugin for Reader.

    I was surprised to find out that Adobe Reader Updates and also Flash Plugin for Adobe Reader cannot be installed on Windows 7 without Admin Rights!!!!!
    I remember on Windows XP this was not an issue. I am sure I have checked the possibility of installing Adobe Flash Plugin for Adobe Reader on Windows XP without Admin Rights and it worked...
    Now, we have some major issue...
    I have prepared Adobe PDF Portfolio for some new policy for Housing Loan, and deployed it to be open from a Web Browser. As per my testing, it worked very nice, and the Business User loved it. On Windows XP, if flash plugin for Reader is not installed, the user will be guided to install it, and it works very nicely.
    Just before sending the announcement to all users, we realized that on Windows 7, if flash plugin for Reader is not installed, then when the user clicks on the link to open the PDF Portfolio, then nothing happens. The browser window will open, and it will hang.
    Then we found out that on Windows 7 we have to install the Reader Flash Plugin manually, and also, the user must have Admin Rights ...
    Now, a decision has been made to cancel the work done using PDF Portfolio, and develop a simple page with links to the required documents...
    Any solution for this?
    How we can install the required plugin without the need for Admin Right?
    Why on Windows 7, the user does not get prompts to guide him to install Adobe Reader Flash Plugin?
    Tarek.

    I think I can see the reason for this. The Flash Player is separated from Adobe Reader; the system component is now used. (It appears that the "browser plug-in" and "Flash plug-in for Adobe Reader" are indeed the same thing, loaded from the same system location).
    Adobe are following recommended practice. It is right and proper that software is installed by the administrator. This then means that the non-administrator end user is protected from malware which attempts to change that software for bad reasons.
    Nobody wants to walk round installing 1000 copies of software. Personally, I'd draw the line around 5 copies. Above that, software designed for bulk use is deployed centrally using enterprise deployment tools.
    There are even more powerful reasons to do this today, as security updates should be installed almost immediately, and end users won't bother. Generally, the tools are standard, but the vendor adds support for deploying software in these standard frameworks.

  • Can anyone tell me how can I watch any video on Firefox without Adobe Flash Plugin?

    OK I don't know but the latest version of flash player really frustrated me. I don't like Chrome been my entire life Firefox user, but I will have to switch over since I can't stand adobe flash plugin. I uninstalled it and after reboot Firefox automatically plays videos in youtube but does not do the same thing in dailymotion or vimeo or other websites. Is there a solution? Please help me i like Firefox a whole lot.

    ''I don't have problems playing videos but with the new version I cant cycle through tabs with Ctrl+(Shift)+Tab once I click something inside the flash, even if I click outside the flash. The key functions vanish (tab-key cycles inside the flash through pause, volume, full screen button etc.) and the only way to change tab is with the mouse, which I don't like.''
    Hi Raynover, was this with the Flash plugin or with native HTML5 video support? I think plugins have always captured keyboard input once you activate them, but I haven't tested with native HTML5 video.

  • Adobe Reader 9.5.1 does not recognise older version of Flash Plugin 10.3.183.18 it requires 11.2

    I have a problem in upgrading Adobe Reader to 9.5.1 as it is not recognising older version of Flash Plugin 10.3.183.18 and it prompts the user to download and install Flash Player 11.2, this is not the case with Adobe Reader v 10.1.3 as it works fine with 10.3.183.18
    My Firm is not ready to rollout Flash player 11.2 , is there any work around or a fix available to fix this issue , does anyone know which API is responsible for this Flash content

    Hi,
    This was an intended change along with Reader 9.5.1. This new strategy simplifies Acrobat and Reader deployments by reducing the number of future required updates should a security issue arise. Moreover, you can now manage and update Acrobat products and Flash individually.
    Please refer to the following release note document for the 9.5.1 release for more information regarding the same:

  • Installation Media for Adobe Acrobat Reader and Flash without Extra Software

    Is there a Installation Media format for Adobe Acrobat Reader and Flash which does not have McAfee, Google Chrome or Google Toolbar associated with the installation?  This deployment is for a IT department.  We do not want Google Chrome, Toolbar, or McAfee installed on our workstation, and we want to prevent our users from installing them when performing the upgrades to newer versions.  We want installation media without the extra software for deployment.  Does Adobe supply these?

    Re The first Link:
    Return, cancel, or exchange an Adobe order
    Cancel your membership or subscription | Creative Cloud
    I have done this.  I just need the refund that was mentioned on the bottom of the page that I have already cancelled on.  None of the other links on that page are relevant and none mention the word "Refund"
    Re; The second link, is this a UK 0800 number or a US Number?  I am in the UK.  Will I be on hold for 32 minutes again if I ring this number?

    On the other hand I do not quite understand why there is a NPSWF32.dll file in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader ...

  • Firefox 34.0.5 says Adobe Flash plugin is blocked, but update check reports my Flash plugin (ver. 16.0.0.235) is current. How to fix???

    About 1 month ago, I updated Flash and Firefox to most current versions. Firefox 34.0.5, running on WinXP, SP3, shows Adobe Flash plugin as ver. 16.0.0.235, but this is now being blocked again. No other versions of Flash are evident. When I choose option on Flash screen to check plugins are up to date, Firefox reports Flash plugin is up to date.
    This program behaviour is wrong and should be fixed. Checking at Adobe, current Flash is 16.0.0.305.
    Who or what is broken here? Is Firefox broken, and not reporting correctly that more current Flash plugin is available?
    I do not appear to have previous versions of Flash installed on system. This combo of software was working correctly for a while, and then became broken, without a proper path to allow users to resolve it. If Firefox is rigged to "Block" a plugin, then it *MUST* be configured to easily and **CORRECTLY** allow that plugin to be updated. Using most current software, my clicking on the "Check for updates" feature reports that Adobe Flash is most current version. Arrrrgh!!
    I am now back to "diagnose and fix broken Firefox+Flash" exercise, which I just went thru.
    Best solution here would be to allow user to easily override the "blocking" mechanism. This would assist users who only use Flash video access on trusted sites.
    If there is an obvious solution to this current Flash "BLocking" goofery, please inform. Otherwise, if and when I resolve this, I will post a reply to my own question here, indicating what I did to fix this, as it appears to be affecting other Firefox+Flash users, without a clear solution being posted.

    Adobe issued 3 new Flash 16 versions in January alone, then another new one - .305 - in February, ''along with one in early December. Five new versions in 2 months time''. So with updating Flash "about 1 month ago", you are probably 2 or 3 versions behind the latest Flash 16 version.
    Note that Adobe has its own internal updater, which by default is set to check for an update ''(only)'' once a month. Adobe does their own updates for their software, Firefox just tells you when your version is on the blocklist due to known security issues with the version you have installed. It is up to you to do a manual update between the monthly update check that Flash does for your installation.
    The "solution" is for Adobe to fix their stuff. Like maybe an updater that checks for updates more frequently, and not hide their updater user preferences where users don't know where they are and be able to set it for more a frequent update check cycle. ''[Firefox "checks" every time Firefox is launched, as does Chrome]''. Or fix the code in Flash that leads to it being so exploitable, and not have to do 5 separate security fixes in as little as a 2 month time span. ''Flash went almost 2 years prior to Dec 2014 without Mozilla needing to blocklist it, and when Mozilla did first blocklist it in Dec it was / is a soft-block where the user can still use it by using Allow per Flash presentation.''
    My advice is to grab the Extended Support Release - Flash Player 13.0.0.269 from here - https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html - over 3/4 down that page. IMO the best version for WinXP users, as the later versions have features for Vista and later versions of Windows - won't work on WinXP or may cause problems on WinXP.

  • Reader XI needs plugin instalation for Portfolios

    Recently I got Acrobat Reader XI, and get surprised because now we need to install a flash plugin separately… that will be one more roadblock for Portfolio usage, because there are lots of Reader deployments where user have no admin rights (companies, internet kiosk, etc.).
      We are promoting livecycle on our clients, with a message that Portfolio will work in any Win/Mac/Lin PC, the only requirement is to have Reader 9+ installed, what is not an issue because almost all PC’s have it. Then in version XI Adobe just change rules… is this to stay?

    Hi,
    Yes, you have to install Flash plug in seperately. I can understand your requirements but with Reader XI you have to install Flash plug in for Portfolio.
    Regards,

  • Why Do I Have Multiple Versions of Adobe Flash Plugins in FireFox

    Hello,
    I usually have 2 versions of Adobe Flash plugins installed in Firefox at the same time: the most recent version and the prior version which remains behind after an update. I usually disable the older version but sometimes this also affect the updated version leaving me without Flash capability in FireFox.
    This week I updated FireFox's Adobe Flash plugin to 12.0.0.43 but was surprised to discover the 2 prior Flash versions also remained. Now Firefox had 3 versions of Adobe Flash plugins. I discovered the Adobe Flash uninstaller and uninstalled all Flash from my computer. Surprisingly when I reinstalled Flash player in FireFox, again 2 versions were installed: 12 and 11. I attempted to use the uninstaller on FireFox alone but it did not recognize the older Flash plugin, only the updated version 12.
    The recent Adobe Flash update, version 12, is a 'Critical Security' update. Therefore, I am a bit anxious to resolve this issue. I hope you can assist me with this issue.
    Thank you.
    Windows 7
    Home Premium (64 bit)
    FireFox 26'''bold text'''

    I might have thought the uninstaller would have found and deleted the old FlashPlayer. Maybe it was a custom install and in an odd location. (I suppose another possibility is that registry entries are wrong).
    Try totally uninstalling FlashPlayer using the Windows Control panel, before re-installing. Then check with the FlashPlayer uninstaller before reinstalling again.
    Note whilst doing this that Windows Internet Explorer has its own FlashPlayer plugin that is separate. You will need to reinstall both the Fx fox & IE plugins afterwards. Also note that for 32bit Firefox you will need the 32 bit FlashPlayer.

  • The Adobe Flash plugin keeps crashing on Firefox 12.0

    The Adobe Flash plugin keeps crashing on Firefox 12.0, and my Plugin Check link in Addons Manager directs to https://www.mozilla.com/en/404 .
    Is this a hack attempt? Is Firefox 3.6 safer than the release channel?

    Thankss, but it sounds a bit complicated for me. Maybe I can just reinstall FF?
    ~And would switching back to FF 3.6 (or whatever the latest Official release is), rather than being on the new Release Channel be safer than FF 12?

  • Firefox updated to its newest version 12.0. Now my Adobe Flash plugin freezes and hangs every website when it is enabled even though it is the newest version.

    Today Firefox updated to its newest version 12.0. Immediately after update, I couldn't load most websites. The web browser would just freeze. I have determined that the culprit is the Adobe Flash Plugin, however; even with the newest version of the plugin, I am still having problems. Any suggestions?

  • Installing reader without Adobe Air

    We would like to distribute Adobe Reader without Adobe Air or

  • FireFox opens & Adobe Flash Plugin crashes in a WOT "automatic" download.

    WOT “automatically downloads” on a separate tab every time I start FireFox. Almost every time I start FireFox the Adobe Flash Plugin crashes in the WOT automatic download and ties up my PC. The problem does not occur with Internet-Explorer which I seldom use.
    1- I removed WOT and re-installed it, but it continued the same.
    2- I reinstalled the Adobe Flash Plugin which I always keep up to date.
    3- Please work this out.
    4- Why must WOT automatically download on a separate tab every time I start FireFox? It is very annoying.
    Thank you for all you do. Have a blessed day, Steve Lahey.

  • Adobe Flash Plugin Crash in Firefox and IE

    About a week ago my firefox and internet explorer browsers haven't been able to play any flash movies.  For example, I go to http://www.adobe.com/products/flash.html and click play on the main video section that pops up and the adobe flash plugin has crashed screen appears.
    I also uninstalled and reinstalled flash to the newest version and back to version 10.3 as well and both of these things did not fix the problem.
