Adobe Reader / Flash support on Windows XP

Hi All,
I would have a quick question regarding to the extended support. The last information I have read was that the support ends in May 2014.
Is that still correct?
Does it man that neither Adobe Reader/Acrobat nor Adobe Flash Player is supported on Windows XP anymore?
Thanks in Advance,
Zoltan

Adobe Reader 10.1.11 / 11.0.08 was the last officially supported version for Windows XP. Reader 10.1.12 / 11.0.09 dropped support for XP.
Flash Player is still supported on Windows XP, as of the current version 15.0.0.152 / 15.0.0.167.

I'm having an issue on All ADOBE reader/flasher player opening window on Mac OSX Lion

I have tons of error when i'm openning Adobe reader/Adober flash player/Adobe application manager. When i went check out the Library/Adobe appiication support, it's missing and i can't get it to open. What are the solution to make this work. Cause i really wanna to download Adobe photoshop trial install and open it, but i keep on getting error all the time. What can i do to resolve this issue on my mac osx Lion 10.7.5 version? Any suggestion?

Could you try switching back to the PPAPI version of the plugin to see if that helps (reversing the steps outlined in the FAQ below)? From what we've learned, this only effects the NPAPI version and the PPAPI version should display fonts correctly.
Enable system Flash Player in Google Chrome | Windows | Mac
We are working with Google to get this fixed asap.
Thanks,

Mozila Firefox is always asking me to click to activate and use plug-ins like Adobe Reader, Flash, Youtube videos and other plug-ins which it never did before.

I am using Mozilla Firefox and it is now bugging me. After updating it, it is now asking me to always click to activate and use plug-ins like Adobe Reader, Flash, Youtube videosand other plug-ins. I click on activiate all plug-ins but it still asks me to do it each time that I try to use Flash, Adobe Reader, watch a You Tube Video or anything. Why won't Mozilla Firefox automatically actaivate the plug-ins like it used to do. I tried to follow directions on our website for fixing this but it did not work. I am running
Windows XP. Please let me know how to fix this. Thank you.

In the past, to protect you from [https://support.mozilla.org/kb/use-plugins-play-audio-video-games plugins] that have stability or security issues, Firefox could only turn off the problematic plugin. Now Firefox can prevent the plugin from running automatically (which prevents many issues) and then let you choose to run or update the plugin. See [[Why do I have to click to activate plugins?]] for more info.
If you'd like to Disable Firefox's Click-to-Play feature,
# Type ''about:config'' in the address bar and press Enter.
# Press the big button to bypass the warning.
# In the search box, paste ''plugins.click_to_play''
# In the search results, double-click ''plugins.click_to_play'' to set its value to '''false'''

Mac Mountain Lion & Adobe Reader & Flash Player

My Mac computers, currently running Snow Leopard and Lion, will be upgraded shortly to Mountain Lion (Mac OS 10.8.2). Are Adobe Reader & Flash Player supported?

Moving this discussion to the Adobe Reader forum. You may also want to post your inquiry regarding Flash Player to the Installing Flash Player forum - http://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer/installing_flashplayer.

I have re-installed Adobe Reader on to my Windows 7 PC. When I open a PDF I was getting an error message containing . . . .Acrord32.exe application error . . . . I now cannot open any PDF's. Adobe seems to be unresponsive.

I now cannot open any PDF's and Adobe seems unresponsive. I have tried to follow a step by step guide on how to fix this but Adobe won't stay open long enough for me to complete the steps. When I open Adobe it stays open for a matter of seconds then minimises to the task bar and when I click on it again I can't do anything with it and have to close it via task manager
Please help!?

Disabling Protected Mode should fix the problem. But since you cannot even open Adobe Reader by itself, you need to do it via the Windows registry. If you tell me your installed Reader version, I can give you a registry script to do that.

Android Adobe Reader - Arabic support

Android Adobe Reader - Arabic support
Dear Support,
I am trying to reach the developer for long time but the email provided is a mailing list which no one else has the right to post to it except their team.
There is a big problem with Arabic words searching in an Arabic PDF file with adobe Reader for android. To search for a word, I have to write the words backward, like instead of "Adobe" I have to write "ebodA" but in Arabic language. I know that your app developers are Indians, but please let an Arabic person show you how he can't search for a word in an Arabic PDF file. Please fix it urgently. it is very important for the Arabic language readers. Thanks for your action.
Software link:
Adobe Reader - Android Apps on Google Play

Please try the Adobe Reader Android forum.
You might find that this is a limitation in either the software or the file. Some Arabic files are written left-to-right internally, and look right but are backwards in each line.

Unable to uninstall adobe reader 8.16 on windows xp

I wanted to uninstal adobe reader 8 after finding I could use adobe reader 9, I uninstalled adobe reader and ended up having to restore my system after a server problem with the new software putting adobe 8 back. I tried to uninstall it again after switching off the machine for a while for the serer to recover, I still cant uninstall 8 even after installing adobe reader 9.

I tried on the day to navigate the adobe site on dial up, adobe should cater to people on a budget if they are going to service us with a free reader. Personally I would prefer another program to decode a pdf document that does just that - without all the other stuff I will never use. Today I found I may be able to uninstall adobe 8 by running kb404307, I couldn't even find a download page for the fix. Once again I got frustrated with my pc and adobe.

Any suggestions?

I am able to open them now, but I have to open the program first and then open the file through that. This doesn't make sense why I can't just open by clicking on the file.

Adobe Reader Security Updates after Windows XP End of Support

Hi,
I have to check up for our customer, whether there will be any Security Updates for Adobe Reader (XI) on Windows XP after End of Support next year.
Haven't found any information on the web :-(
Thanks in advance,
Nicolai

I don't know, and like you, haven't seen anything.
Here's what I do know.
Android dropped ALL support for Flash Playe June 2012 and Adobe continued to develop and release security updates for the older Android Flash Player versions up till September 10 of this year.
Support for Linux ended with version 11.2, but security fixes for Linux Flash Player are still being developed and released.
Given the still-widespread use of XP in schools and corporate environments, I'd have to say that support (at least security updates) will go on for a while after next June14 when Microsoft officially "sunsets" XP. How long that will be is not info I have.

Offline installation of Adobe Reader & Flash

We just spent the weekend at work running Windows update, office update and updating Java, Adobe Flash and Adobe Reader on all machines.
In the interest of not going insane and doing it again ever, I would like to create an auto update script for everything.
I am working on WSUS for the windows and office updates and have Java sorted, but I cant find any info on doing offline installs for Reader and Flash?
Can anyone tell me:
1) Where can I download an offline installation of both Flash & Reader
2) Where I can find info for command line installation/uninstallation.
thanks
DJMc

Thank you for reply Pat.
I did see v.10 of Acrobat in Greek but I really need v. 11 to be consistent. I also checked the MUI version of v.11 and it does not have Greek either.
Did Acrobat stop to support Greek Language?
Regards,

Deploying Adobe Reader & Flash Updates

I am currently looking for a way to deploy non-Microsoft based product updates across our organization. Some of the products I would like to be able to deploy updates for include: Adobe Flash, Adobe Reader and Adobe Shockwave.
Presently, between our main office and our various branch offices we have:
5 Servers running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise
1 Server running Windows Server 2008 Enterprise
1 Server running Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard
20-30 Workstations running Windows Xp Professional SP3
20-30 Workstations running Windows 7 Professional
Sadly, our organization does not current have a license for SCCM, so I most likely will be deploying updates via our GPOs or scripts.Also, our users do not have admin rights or anything, so lately I've been having to manually authorize each of their updates when the product (Adobe for example) checks for updates.
Does anyone have any suggestions or pointers?
Thanks.

Adobe Reader X - Runtime error - Windows 7

What am I doing wrong? Any ideas?
Installed Reader X 3 times since yesterday onto differnt Windows 7 machines - including once onto a clean Windows 7 Enterprise 32bit install (i.e. no old versions of anything to remove) - and on all atempts once the software is installed and run, i just get a runtime error and it won't open up. Screenshots below

This was exactly what I expected after I read that Adobe announced Reader X (X fits really because it is the best to terminate this software).
It is always the same - the quality of Adobe software is below each expectation. Now we have the already version 10 and Adobe has still not understood the difference of Windows XP and and Windows 7 regarding user profiles - I doubt that they ever heard the term "roaming profile" or "junction/symbolic link/hard link". Some people should be forbidden to program - if I would have the choice I would select another pdf viewer. And if you try to address these kind of issues Adobe acts deaf and simply says this not supported instead of fixing their stupid mistakes in their poor products - this approach is so easy - if they continue to behave in this way and exploit their current monopole they will not survive, because all disappointed customers will switch to the next best alternative as soon as they offers a less painful product or at least better support. I start to love Steve Jobs and Apple.
The question stays: Why Adobe reinvented a bug, which was already fixed in Adobe Reader 9 - what the hell are they doing in their programming caves in India - it looks like one programmer does not speak to the other or took a very old outdated code stream - very poor versioning and quality managment.
I have to deal all the time in my Company with these Adobe Pre-Alpha products full of bugs and I'm fed up to always run into major unsolved issues - Adobe test your products before you do a final release!!!! You ever heard about a public beta phase??????
This is from your own kb article: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404597.html
"This error occurs when the application checks for read permissions for each directory in the path to Application Data. The application is supposed to instead only inspect for permission in the Application Data directory and below. If the requisite permissions are not found, a runtime error occurs.
The 9.4 cumulative update changes this behavior so that the application does not check for permissions on parent folders."
So read your own fu..... KB before you release anything and make such a spectacle about a <sarcasm on> "complete new version, which is the most safe, reliable and convenient reader version ever <sarcasm off> (lol)
