Adobe Reader 11.0.03 and Flash Player 11.8.800.94 Not Working on Windows 8

On a computer running Windows 8 Enterprise, Adobe Reader 11.0.03, and Flash Player 11.8.800.94, I am unable to open a flash-enabled PDF. Reader gives me the error "To view the Flash technology content in this PDF file, please install this version of Flash Player that supports Adobe Reader and Acrobat." Adobe's Flash verification page shows me that Flash Player is working, and I can open other basic PDFs in Reader. I have another machine with an identical setup, except that it has Acrobat 11.0.03 instead of Reader, and the PDF opens just fine on that machine. Why won't Reader open the Flash-enabled PDF?

Does Adobe Reader for Android have the Flash Player Runtime

I have a PDF document that I generate which contains an embedded Flex application.
It works fine with the desktop version of PDF reader. However. It doesn't appear that
PDF reader for Android contains the Flash Player runtime.
Can someone from Adobe confirm this ?
Thanks.

Dov, you confimed that Adobe Reader for Android has the Flash Player Runtime - I thought this feature is necessary to be able to show embedded (flv) videos?
What about viewing cross platform proof PDF files containing mp4 (H.264) embedded videos?
Up to now I’m forced to show ezPDF Reader in my workflow scenarios - think about the bad psychology that I always will have explain that the rich media PDF workflows could work with Adobe products, but Adobe itself seems to limit PDF use cases in order not to become a competitor of let’s guess of FOLIO?
Please explain me why? No market? I would like to contradict as much as I can.
If someone starts to weaken the big possibilities for PDF even on mobile devices this seems to be Adobe itself: Where are the Adobe show cases showing rich media PDFs on mobile devices?
Almost everything Adobe is showing with rich media information is in DPS based on Folio (slide shows, videos etc).
You might get all the functionality much easier using PDF (seen from a classic DTP workflow using Word, FrameMaker or InDesign)
Why didn’t Adobe add more multimedia features? Where is the 3D support on mobile devices?
Has Adobe changed the overall PDF strategy?
Where is an Adobe PDF cross platform strategy for using rich media PDFs on PC, Macs, Android and iPhone/iPads?

Can't open PDF with flash after upgrade Reader 10.1.5 and Flash player 11.5.502.146

We rolled out Reader 10.1.5 and Flash 11.5.502.146 [Windows 7] this week and discovered that one can not view a PDF containing Flash content.
We receive the message "To view the Flash Technology content in this PDF file, please install the required version of Flash Player".
According to the Adobe Reader Blog "As mentioned in Three Common Adobe Reader and Acrobat Security Questions, unknown Flash will now be rendered by the system Flash Player (NPAPI version), when using Adobe Reader and Acrobat 10.1.5. Note: This has already been done for Reader and Acrobat 11. As stated before, this means that Adobe Reader/Acrobat users will no longer have to update Adobe Reader/Acrobat each time we update the Flash Player."
How could we resolve the problem?

flash player plug-in does not work

You don't say on what Mac, and you haven't actually asked a question, but perhaps this might be helpful:
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25 or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Note that the latest Flash Player update only works on YouTube with Safari in 32 bit mode - until YouTube correct this.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. The first one on the list, Flash Player 10.1 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

Flash player 14 - Retrieving Install not working

Hardware: Macbook Pro 2008
2.4GHz Intel core 2 Duo
4Gb Ram
OS: 10.9.4
Every time I launch and run the dmg install, it says Retrieving Install but stays at 0% and the application says Not Responding.
I have tried to uninstall Flash player and have checked that :
Library/Internet Plugins/Flash Player.plugin file is not present;
the Flash Player install manager is not present;
Rebooted the Mac; and
Repaired disk permissions.
But I still cannot get Flash player to install. Can anyone suggest anything else to try?

Adobe Flash Player 10.1 is not working

Hallo,
My problem is that everything that uses flash player, does not work at the moment and says that I need the latest version. (I cannot see a video on you tube for example.)
I downloaded AFP 10.1 several times (install-uninstall-reboot several times), I even checked the "Add-remove programms" and the "Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X" is there, but when I get to see a youtube video it says again to get the latest version. Each install was successful, but it still doesn't work.
Here's some information about my computer in case of a need :
Windows XP Professional
Internet Explorer 8
Norton 360
and I also have some issues with pop-ups (I don't know if this is related)
Note that:Today I was asked to update the AFP on the firefox and I did and until now it works perfectly.
(I use both firefox and internet explorer)
If anyone could help me , I would be very grateful...

Hi Eidnolb,be careful, long post following :
Yes of course I kept MBAM on my desktop as a shortcut (was actually installed in C:\Program files) and it became my new friend .

Why Adobe Flash Player 11.3 r300 not working appropriately in Firefox 13.0?

Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64bits Pt-Br
Firefox 13.0 (Adobe Flash Player Plug-in) 11.3 r300
IE9 (Adobe Flash Player Active-x) 11.3 r300
In time: In both browsers (Firerox and IE9) Adobe Flash Player is slower than normal and in Firerox sometimes it crash.
My System:

I too have an 8GB RAM and quad core processor on my desktop and my laptop it is an Intel Quad i7 core, 8GB RAM. When there was any sluggishness, it was not Flash, but something else causing the heavy CPU useage because it was fighting with Flash.
On my computer, I went into FireFox Add-ons, then checked the extensions and plugins.The one problem I had was with a Real Player plugin. It allowed the recording and download of any video, with an App style button that appears above the the video itself when the cursor is placed there. For me that was disabled by FireFox because of conflicts, but even in the disabled state, it caused Flash issues. When I uninstalled the extension or plugin, Flash worked fine.
It may be the same, or another plugin or extension that is causing the issue. FireFox sites say to disable, but that proved useless to do because disabling for the RealPlayer plugin made no difference, it had to be removed completely to see the difference.
If no greyed out ones, then uninstall all the plugins and test FireFox. If all works great, reinstall one by one and each time test FireFox with Flash. You will likely find which one it is and know what to do from there.
I know it is a bit of a hassle, but from the experience I had so far, Flash was not the issue, it was from another plugin.
If it is Real Player, then disable the plugin by:
Close Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer if either is running.
Click "Start," click "All Programs," click "Real" and click "RealPlayer." (Or click the RealPlayer shortcut to open it)
Click the "RealPlayer" menu button at the top-left corner of the RealPlayer window and click "Preferences."
Click "Downloading and Recording" category near the bottom of the list of categories at the left side of the preferences window.
Uncheck the "Enable Web Downloading and Recording" checkbox by clicking it.
Click "OK."
Re-open Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer.
Worst comes to worst, uninstall real player completely or if there is another program that installed a problem plugin to FireFox, install that.
Let us know how this worked out.

Adobe flash player downloads but does not work

Hi,
When I download the flash player is says to click on active x and I do and allow and then it downloads and says complete but does not work when I try to watch you tube videos. It says download flash player which I have already done. Please help.

You should see a flash animation if the Flash player was installed properly. That you aren't seeing it means that it hasn't been.
Adobe has a link to a troubleshooting page:

HT5655 Feb 2013 Adobe Flash Player Upgrade Install Does not work - metafile issue

I tried uploading the Feb 2013 update without success. Adobe troubleshooting suggested uninstalling existing version of AFP - which I did - still get "Metafile Instalation failed" - now have NO AFP. Adobe says they are aware of the issue and working on it. Any ideas as to how to reupload my old AFP version??

That's great to hear that you were able to find a solution.
I've been trying to fix this issue with Adobe for 5 days now and no one is coming back to me (tried the terminal cd solution and it doesn't work).
Luigi could you expand on where you were directed to find a solution? Running
sudo ./Install\ Adobe\ Flash\ Player.app/Contents/MacOS/Install\ Adobe\ Flash\ Player
has only given me a "command no found" message.
Thanks

Flash player 10.1 still not working (more information).

A few months back, I made a thread concerning my situation of specific flash content not being played.
I have returned, with hopes that my trials and tribulations may provide more insight into my problem.
Basics
Windows XP 32bit (v2002) - Media Center
Service Pack 3
Audio and Visual drivers up-to-date.
Web Browsers
IE8
Google Chrome (6.0.472.62)
Mozilla Firefox (3.6.8)
All of these are running on the latest Shockwave and Flash players.
The Problem
Various types of Flash content cannot be played. This is what I have been working on for the past few months.
1. YouTube works fine.
2. ShockwaveFlash objects that are located on my hard-drive play fine.
3. Embedded Players (most commonly MySpace and JWplayer) will often freeze upon page loading, or will never load (progress circle spins forever).
These issues, however, were avoided upon using Firefox to view the pages (I was originally using Chrome). An new version of chrome was just released, and it APPEARS to only have problems with the MySpace player. Haven't tested this yet, though.
Video streams are completely out as well (except YouTube streams).
These embedded videos on the video-indexing sites I visit may never load depending on their type, but they will often work normally when viewed on the site that owns the player.
4. Embedded Objects (such as flash games) will vary in playability from site to site (an embedded version might not work on one site, but another site which hosts it as an executed file by itself will).
The flash games will play through intros, but freeze (right-click "play" box becomes unchecked) upon reaching an interactive menu, or any sort of interface.
5. I have tried fixing the Global/Local Settings and all the stuff there. I have tried changing the amount of data storage allowed for sites, but the flash games WILL NOT set any data. This makes sense, since they are not even running...
Previous Advice
"Post the files from file:///C:/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash/"
A folder called FlashPlayer Trust, and these files;
Flash10i.ocx ~ FlashInstall.log ~ flashplayer.xpt ~ FlashUtil10i_ActiveX.dll ~ FlashUtil10i_ActiveX.exe ~ install.log ~ NPSWF32.dll (version 10.1.82.76)
"Check in Tools & Extensions and make sure Shockwave Flash Object...ActiveX Control...Flash10h.ocx is listed and Enabled"
Shockwave Flash Object - Check
get_atlcom Class - huh?
Shockwave ActiveX Control - Check
Did not find Flach10h.ocx I guess this is where a warning light should go off in our heads.
Older Versions
Since this all started when Flash 10.1 came out, a logical assumption would be that downgrading my version number would solve the problem.
It did not. I tried a good half-dozen of the archived versions (none below 9.0 or not for my OS) and nothing happened. Really, nothing. Same old problems.
Other Stuff?
Disabling hardware-acceleration did nothing. just putting that out there.
Please use this thread, as I tried hard to make it more clear and organized. However, if you wish to read the old thread;
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/668004?tstart=0

Hi, Norton normally just Disables the Windows Firewall and runs their own; first I've heard they gave a choice.
So are you running the Norton Firewall or the Windows?
Several things are going on, having your Internet Security set to Medium-High blocks ActiveX Controls from working. Guess what the Shockwave Flash Object is? It is the ActiveX Control in your browser that works with your Flash Player files and the websites so you can view Flash Content & Videos.
Then the Norton Toolbar, the Intrusion Prevention and the NCO BHO conflicts with the browser and FP. Now the ControlInstaller Class and the PSFactoryBuffer must be new browser add ons from Norton. I'll research them and see what they are about.
Your Norton add ons, Norton Firewall, the RP add ons and your Security Setting for the Internet Zone are all conflicting and blocking Flash Player Content and Videos from the Websites.
In other words Flash Player is trying to work for you and all of those just mentioned are saying, no way!!
So I guess you'll need to decide if you want to use Flash Player or be extra extra secure.
Let me know,
Thanks,
eidnolb
