Adobe Reader 8 - cannot view videos in pdf file

Hello,
I have Adobe Reader 8 and cannot view any videos contained in a pdf file. I also have Flash Player, Windows Media Player and Quicktime Player. I am connected to the Internet.
Does anybody have an idea why the videos will not play? Do I need to buy Adobe Reader 9?
I'd be grateful for any help.
Thank you.
Lisa G.

  • Is it possible to put adobe reader on my website for pdf file users ?

    Is it possible to put adobe reader on my website for pdf file users ?

    The point is that, like all licensed software, you need permission to redistribute it in any form. So the question is: is that permission granted? If you can find anywhere that grants it that's fine.
    Adobe used to give out such permission back in the days of Reader 1, 2, 3... but I believe it was long ago removed. There is a strong reason to do this today: third party redistributors aren't likely to be hot on updating to new versions etc. There is a more cynical view: Adobe would also lose such benefits as it might get from offering dubious "extras" with the download. Finally, and strongly - if anyone can distribute it, these days who can tell who has the real product and who has a malware impersonator?

  • Adobe Reader Splash--I have a PDF file that whenever I try to open it suggests using Adobe Reader with a link to download Adobe Reader...

    Adobe Reader Splash--I have a PDF file that whenever I try to open it suggests using Adobe Reader with a link to download Adobe Reader. I can't get beyond this. I have made Preview the default for all PDF's and yet this persists. I have also deleted Adobe Reader. This particular file is a portfolio, btw.

    I have similar issue. Did u find an answer?

  • Adobe Reader could not open a pdf file - either not supported file type or file damaged

    On March 5th, I started getting the Adobe Reader error message "Adobe Reader could not open a pdf file because it is either not supported file type or the file has been damaged.
    I get this when I try to open the pdf file as an attachment in Outlook 2013 from my G-Mail account.  If I save the attachment and then try to open the pdf document, I get the same error4.
    I get this error message with every pdf file that now comes to me in Outlook.
    If I log on to my G-Mail I am able to open the pdf document.  If I also save the attachment to my computer, I do not get the error message when I open the pdf file. This would suggest the file is okay
    This would lead me to believe the problem maybe with Outlook.
    I'm using Adobe Reader XI v11.0.10

  • Problems in Adobe Reader when I open a pdf file

    I have problems in Adobe Reader when I open a pdf file, the menu bar appears blank without options and when I pass the mouse over the bar she disappears. I uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader and to no avail. Could anyone help in this case.

    That is the old version that causes the problem; you need to update to the latest version (15.0.2.361).

  • Adobe Reader will not email my .pdf files.  Message: "Email has not been set up on this device."

    Adobe Reader will not email my .pdf files.  Message: "Email has not been set up on this device."  I have 4 email accounts that have been set up.  When trying to email from Adobe, the email screen does come up, but does not allow me to enter any recipients in the field, and when I try, the email page's fields simply goes blank and disappears, taking me back to the document I am trying to send.  After trying repeatedly, I get the message about needing to set up my email.  My mother and I have also noticed that when  we try to open documents sent in A.R., they may open, or just go blank.  Any suggestions or fixes?

    Setting up your email is a bit out of the scope of this forum. I'd suggest asking for help in the Apple forums devoted to the iPad. Good luck.

  • Adobe Reader hangs after opening a PDF file for a minuet

    Adobe Reader hangs after opening a PDF file for a minuet

    Pat. Thanks for your promote reply. I have resolved the issue.
    Closing the tools pane at the right side:
    open Adobe Reader without opening a PDF file
    collapse 'Tools' pane
    then open some PDF
    It shouldn't hang anymore

  • No phrase or multi-term search feature? I am using iBooks 4.1 on an iPad Air I thought it would support complex key word searching (even Adobe reader supports phrase searches in PDF files) is it really just limited to one key word per search?

    No phrase or multi-term search feature? I am using iBooks 4.1 on an iPad Air I thought an eBook reader would support complex key word searching (even Adobe reader supports phrase searches in PDF files) is iBooks really just limited to searching for one key word at a time?  Am I missing something  basic in the search interface?

    Greetings NoNameGiven,
    If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

  • Cannot view certificate protected PDF file on Windows Phone device

    I have a certificate protected PDF file that I need to view on my Windows Phone 8.1 device. I can install the certificate on it without any problem, but when trying to open the file with the official latest version of Adobe Reader app, it says something like 'some features in this file is not supported in this version of Adobe Reader' and won't open the file at all.

    you can contact the customer service..

  • Why does Adobe reader on iPad lock unlocked pdf files on move from computer

    I Have copied several pdf files, which I have made, from my laptop to my iPad. On my laptop they are unlocked and I can Add text etc. On the iPad they become locked and I cannot do this. Why? How do I stop this so that's can have u locked pdf files on my iPad.

    Rbradford,
    Did you add document restrictions or an "Open Password" protection to your PDF documents?  When you add any of document security features to a PDF document, it will be encrypted.
    Currently, Adobe Reader mobile products do not support adding annotations to encrypted PDF documents or filling out encrypted PDF forms, for example.
    To check whether your PDF document is encrypted
    Open your PDF document in the desktop version of Adobe Reader or Acrobat Pro.
    Select File > Properties... from the menu.  (Or press Command+D for Mac, Control+D for Windows.)
    Select the Security Tab.
    Click the Show Details... button (if enabled).
    Check the last entry in the Document Security dialog.
    If this is not the case, please send one of your PDF documents to [email protected] and include the link to this forum post (https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1593031) in your email message for reference.
    We will inspect the PDF document and diagnose the cause of the problem.  Thank you.

  • I just paid for 12 months to be able to open pdf files and I still cannot.  How do I either get my money back or get this adobe reader to work to open pdf files?

    i just paid for 12 months to be able to read pdf files and it is not working. how do i get my money back or get this problem fixed.  i am so tired of trying to see pdf files.Adobe ExportPDF (read only)

    I thought I ordered Adobe Reader.  Had information from your company that I was charged $13.00 and some change, I think that was the amount, after I completed my credit card information.  Can’t find it – guess it wasn’t an email.  Anyway, I will order whatever I have to in order to be able to open the pdf files as I need to see them for my work with the government.  What do I need to do?  I need it today.  And what is the cost for export pdf?

  • Adobe Reader version 8 and Apple PDF files

    Since installing the Adobe Reader version 8.0, I cannot view any PDF files within Safari from the Apple document web pages (I have not yet tried other sources). All I get is the spinning beach ball, and have to Force Quit Safari, which is described as "not responding." I can view on the Reaader PDF files downloaded with Safari, but the plug-in that lets you view PDF files within Safari does not seem to be working with the new Reader version 8.0.

    Thanks for the reply. I had that option checked when the problem occurred. The problem only occurs on the Apple Customer Service website. I can view PDF files with the Reader v.8.0 on other sites.
    I downloaded the PDF Browser and deselected the Reader option you suggested. PDF Browser works fine and I think I will stick with that program.
