Adobe Reader not opening PDF Portfolio - Flash player error

I have Acrobat 9 Standard installed on my PC and I created a PDF Portfolio. Acrobat Standard can open that Portfolio just fine.
I also have Acrobat Reader installed (11.0.2).and have Adobe Flash Player (11.7.700.169) installed. Both Reader and Flash Player work fine independently on PDF or Flash content.
However when I try to open the PDF portfolio with Reader, I get the following Error:
:"To view the Flash technology in this FDF file; please install this version of Flash player that supports Adobe reader and Acrobat".
The Dialog box with the message above has a [Proceed to download page] button (which does nothing but bring up Reader with a black page), a [Learn more] button (similar behavior), and a [Cancel] button. Both Reader and Flash are the latest versions as of today (4/16/2013).
Any help or insight with this is appreciated.
Thanks !
Bruce Dana.

WHY WILL ADOBE READER NOT OPEN PDF FILES?

I have just downloaded free Adobe Reader X. When I try to open a pdf file I immediately get a Microsfoft box saying "Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close" I have Windows XP. Has anyone else experienced the problem and what did you do to fix the problem so pdf files open? Setting in control panel is for al pdf's to be opened by Adobe Reader, and when I downloade, I briefly disabled my anti-virus software. Really frustrating, Can any one help?

We saw the same symptoms as you describe.
It turned out that the new sandbox feature in Reader X is not compatible with Re-Directed "Application Data" folders.
Disabling the sandbox safety feature (via a special registry setting) appears to be a workaround, but somehow we now feel less safe.
Folder redirection involves group policy as used in large corporations with IT teams to manage large numbers of PCs in companies.
For example, in corporate environments, users My Documents and AppData folders are often re-directed at a secure server share, so that people's documents/photos/mp3s they save into my documents are secured on a server, instead of scattered about on various PCs. Home users never use this technology.
However, If you've got Adobe Reader X installed to a different DRIVE to the one where your APPDATA folder is, then you might get the same effect.
I guess this could also happen to peole with Windows installed on their D: drives, and Adobe installed on the C: drive, or similar.

Adobe Reader Not Opening pdf's

I've got a new MacBook Air and have downloaded the latest Adobe Reader but can't get it to open documents from the Internet. Already downloaded documents it'll open. I thought a Ghostery or MacAfee filter might be inhibiting it but I've disconnected both and there is no change. Anyone know how I can overcome this?

Try this ...
Open a Finder window then from the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go.
If you see the: AdobePDFViewer plugin in the Internet Plug-Ins folder, move it to the trash.
Restart your Mac and try opening a PDF file.

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?

How do I disable Adobe Reader from opening pdfs?

how do I disable Adobe Reader from opening pdfs in Safari? I tried unchecking the box for opening pdfs in browser under Adobe's Internet prefs, but that didn't seem to work.

Hello-
I actually saw a solution to this earlier today. To disable PDF viewing in safari, first quit safari, then open terminal, and type in this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool YES
To re-enable PDF viewing in safari simply open the terminal, and change the "YES" in the command above to a "NO"
Hope this helps.

Can't dowload Adobe Reader or open PDF files

Cannot use Adobe Reader to view PDF in web browser error

I have a new computer and have Acrobat Pro installed. When I try to click on PDF links in browsers, I get an error:
Cannot use Adobe Reader to view PDF in web browser.
I want to be able to open these links using Acrobat Pro. What can I do in Internet Explorer so I don't always receive these errors, and so pdfs automatically open using Acrobat Pro?
Steve

Because it was not designed for Windows 7 doesn't mean it cant run.
If you install the applications as administrator, you shouldn't have problems. I have installed both Reader and Pro versions on Windows 7 32 and 64 bit without problems, as long as I did it as administrator. You right click on the setup and select Run as Administrator. You don't need to do it for updates if you go through the update option on the help panel.

Adobe Reader not opening nor allowing PDF to open

Hi there.
I just downloaded Adobe Reader 11.0.06 to my mac. When I try to open the application nothing happens and when I try to read/download a PDF file from any given site it gives me the following message:
''Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser.''
As I am trying to work on my dissertation, this really kind of sucks.
I have tried to re-install it etc but nothing happens
Can anybody help?

You need to do what the message says, that's all. You are in good company, several people a week are baffled by this message, something which honestly baffles me. Still, it's obviously bad design if it isn't intuitive.
To launch an any app, just open a Finder window and look for Applications in the left hand column. Look in it and all your applications are there.
Double click on Adobe Reader to launch it. If there is more than one shown, launch and quit each one in turn.

Captivate 4 will not open with latest Flash Player installed?!

Hi,
I've seen this question already, but there wasn't any working answer.
When I launch Captivate, I get the warning box saying flash player "is not installed or its an older version" - with an OK button which just launches IE to get the player, and closes captivate...
I had beta player 10.1, so obviously it isn't older - but still, I uninstalled it, got the version (10.0.45.2) on the adobe page captivate sent me too and... Captivate still will not work!
I've unistalled the plugin twice, rebooted, checked the version and still Captivate will not launch...still the same message
So how on earth can I even launch Captivate?? Do I really have to roll back to flash 9 or something?? I wouldn't mind, but I don't even use IE!
Any help appreciated (esp. from Adobe!)
Cheers.

I just ran into this problem with Captivate as well. I uninstalled Flash Player 10.1 by going here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
I then downloaded an archived Flash Player here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html
It seems the main installer does not incorporate the Active-X version of Flash that Internet Explorer needs. There should be several Windows installers in the download. For example, I used Flash Player 10. The following Windows files were in the package:
•    flashplayer10r45_2_win.exe
•    flashplayer10r45_2_winax.exe
•    flashplayer10r45_2_win_sa.exe
Install the first one and second. The second file is the Active-X Flash version (I’m thinking “winax” means Windows Active-X), which Captivate needs to run. I don’t think you need to install the last file (“win_sa”, I’m thinking the “sa” stands for stand-alone).

Adobe Reader cannot open pdf created by Firefox; "file is damaged"

Firefox 4.0.1 on Mac Pro Intel using OS 10.5.8 will allow you to save a web page as pdf, using "Print" then "Save as PDF". If you do this you will save a file. If you attempt to open that file with Adobe Reader you get an error message that the file is damaged. Safari does not have this problem. Microsoft Explorer does not have this problem. It is unlikely that this is an OS problem. Adobe Reader is listed as the app to open pdf files. Is there a fix?

1. I assume you have some PDF documents you have been keeping a long time. Look at their modification date. Is it what you'd expect (years ago) or is it all the same, recent?
2. Has a TXT file appeared in the same folder as the PDFs?

Adobe reader not open the file immediately after saving it with Microsoft Office

I have an older version Adobe Reader 9, and worked fine until today. I did the upgrade to Adobe Reader XI (11.0.06).
I have Window´s Office 2010 on my computer. When I save a document on *pdf file, Adobe starts automatically and open the document (Open file after publishing.) After the upgrade, documents are not open automatically and shows the next message: "There was an error during initialization. An internal error ocurrred." and "There was an error opening this document. Access denied.". But if I try manually, files are open. How do I fix this problem.

I'm having a similar issue. The .pdf files open fine locally, but when I put them up online, they will not open and I get the same error message. If I download and save the files, they show a 1KB file size instead of 168KB.
Drive space is not an issue (looking at over 225GB of free space on the main drive).
In searching on-line, the main cause I am finding is receiving the file via e-mail and a decoding issue. This is not the case with these files as they were created on my machine and uploaded using Filezilla to the server. I'm using Acrobat Pro 7.0 on a windows box running Vista Ultimate.
Any ideas on what would be causing this issue?

Adobe Reader not opening ezy TICKETS from Ticketek New Zealandfrom

Adobe Reader is not opening files I have received from Ticketek NZ called ezy tickets.
I have version Adobe Reader 11.0.0 on my IPAD which has IOS 5.1.1. I get an error message saying that the file is not a valid PDF file. This is very frustrating.

Yes it does open on my windows lap top with adobe reader. My son however can't open it on his IPAD 4 with IOS 6 with adobe reader. Interestingly he has opened PDF ezy Tickets from TICKETEK previously with his adobe reader on his IPAD but he gets the same error message I get with this particular ezy Ticket I have received this week.
