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.

Unable to install Active X and Flash Plugin for Acrobat

I would like to create a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat Pro XI. However, once I have selected the files I get a notification that states, "To view the Flash technology content in this PDF file, please install this version of Flash Player that supports Adobe Reader and Acrobat." When I click the buttom "Proceed to download page," it brings me to this page: Acrobat Help | Flash Player needed | Acrobat, Reader XI
The problem is, the two download links for Windows don't seem to be working. Is this an across the board issue or is it just me? How can I go about installing these required plugins?

Hi asbryk,
I checked the link to install flash player and it is working fine.
If the 'Flash Player Active X' and 'Flash Player Plug-ins ' are already installed in your system, then first uninstall them.
For that, please go to Control Panel>Programs and Features and click uninstall.
Also, check whether you have an updated Acrobat version i.e. 11.0.09 by clicking Help>Check for Updates
Now, restart your system and install the Flash Player from the same link you tried earlier.
I hope this will work fine now.
Regards,
Anubha

Flash plugin for Reader not working

I use the "output to PDF" option to archive e-mails from MS Outlook and this has worked great for quite a while however today I tried to open one of the archives and it said that I needed to install the version of Flash that works with Acrobat and Reader. It had a popup to go to the download page but when I click on that it says it can't connect.
I checked and have the most updated version of Flash and Reader (Using Acrobat standard X as my company hasn't gone to the newest release of that yet).
Any suggestions?

So I completely uninstalled FF and installed newest (9.0.1) and it seems to work fine now. Installing older versions wasn't working. Had to uninstall and reinstall for each user.

Adobe Reader Updater has been 'downloading' for over a week now...it is preventing me from signing out and closing my mini Mac, can't close down. The window will not close ever, just keeps spinning around...help!

How can I stop the 'Adobe Reader Update' from constantly trying to download? It's been over a week now, preventing me from signing out of my computer and other issues too. Can you help please? thanks!

Hi! The version is OS X 10 8 5...not sure what that means lol but it makes a difference obviously!
I did what you said now and it has worked, thanks so very much for getting back to me. I really appreciate your help!!
Can I ask you questions in the future or do I just do that through the forum?\
Thanks again, Jennie

Need MSI Download of Adobe Flash Plugin for Adobe Reader

From this link:
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/flash-player-needed-acrobat-reader.html
I found EXE Download of Adobe Flash Plugin for Adobe Reader/Acrobat:
install_flash_player.exe
I requested our Admin to deploy the above file via SMS but he told me it will be better if I can find an MSI Download insteade of EXE.
Where I can get MSI Download of this EXE File?

Sorry, I misunderstood - yes, this will install the Flash Player plugin for non-IE browsers. But so will install_flash_player.exe from your first post.
According to the link you posted, it seems to be required to install the Flash Player plugin to view Flash content in PDF files.
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 ...
Thanks again Pat, but apologies, as I am not quite sure I understand what you mean...
This link you posted:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
... will result of this distribution deployment allow the end-users to play Flash in PDF under Adobe Acorbat/Reader?

I have tried removing Firefox but when I try to do that it says that I need to close firefox - but of course it is not open. I have waited a long time but nothing has happened so I am getting desperate Thanks -- Jerry

Do a clean (re)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

Can I do this with a plugin for Reader?

Hello, I'm totally new to Adobe Reader development and I'm in the need to develop a plugin for Reader that must implement certain functionality. Before starting, I think it's better to ask to the experts if what I want to do is possible or if what I need goes beyond what the Adobe API provides. So, if you're so kind, I'd like you to check the list of needed features and please tell me if they can be fulfilled with a Reader Plugin.
The plugin must work for Adobe Reader 7,8,9 and 10. It's not a problem if I need to develop a plugin for each version.
When the user tries to print a document, I will block/cancel the printing process depending on which document is tried to be printed (the full path to the document will be needed).
I need traceability in "Save as" and "Save as text" features, if the user saves a copy of "c:\file.pdf" into "c:\file - copy.pdf" I need to know both the source and the destiny of the save as operation. Same for any kind of "export to format x" operations if possible.
I need to be able to communicate with another module via named pipe to periodically send information. This might require dinamically loading a DLL and calling its methods.
[Optional] I need to restrict the use of the clipboard depending on the documents opened in Reader, i.e. don't allow to copy if a certain document is opened.
[Optional] If a document is exported via file printer (like Microsoft xps printer), I need traceability on this operation. I'm really pesimistic about this one.
Also, I'm assuming that retrieving the list of opened documents, or the "active" document will be possible at any time. Please, correct me if wrong.
Thank you very much for your time, for reading and helping. Im' not asking you to tell me how to implement every single feature, I just need to know if I will be able to implement them when I get some knowledge.
Have a great day. Greets.

Two things.
First – Adobe no longer supports Reader 7 or 8, so you would be on your own for those.
Second, in order to develop a plugin for Reader you need to obtain a license from Adobe. Details and forms are in the Acrobat SDK. Start this process ASAP as that will tell you whether you will be able to do your plugin or not.

Deploy reader updates and install/uninstall reader via GPO ???

Hello,
Got a couple of questions on install/uninstall via GPO and how to deploy reader updates.
1) How to uninstall older version of readers via GPO?
2) Is there an ADM file available for installing the latest reader via GPO?
3) For reader patch updates, can it be deployed via GPO? If yes, any docs. I can refer to? If no, what is the minimum priviledge I must grant to domain users to allow them to run the update function w/in the reader (or assign to a specific file path)?
Thanks in advance!
Luke

What update site flexPMD plugin for FlashBuilder 4.6 ? and login/password to get it from SVN ?

What update site flexPMD plugin for FlashBuilder 4.6 ? and login/password to get it from SVN ?

Just thought I'd answer here to tell you what's going on around FlexPMD.
FlexPMD has been donated to the Apache Flex project and has been sitting there since then. In invested quite some time to find out if we would release FlexPMD soon. Even if if does work when using the Ant target the Maven part is completely out of date and I didn't manage to get things working in reasonably up-to-date Maven versions. It seems that FlexPMD had been a fork of the original PND which hasn't been updated for a really long time. Instead of fixing and updating FlexPMD to work on Maven again, I contributed a patch to PMD that helped modularize PMD 5.2. This has been released recently and even the maven-pmd-plugin for that version have now been releases. So this version allows to create a Flex language module for the official PMD system. Hopefully with this we'll get a well maintained PMD core to work on top of.
Unfortunately I had to finish some other things first, but I do have this on my radar next. So please subscribe to the flex user list and you'll be kept up to date on any progress.

I updated my flash plugin and Firefox no longer has it.

I updated my Flash plugin to the latest version. Since then, Firefox has, instead of saying that I should update it, said that I should install it. The flash plugin does not appear in the add-ons manager, and flash content works fine in other browsers.

You may have a problem with the file pluginreg.dat that stores the plugin registry.
Delete the file pluginreg.dat and let Firefox rebuild a new version.

Flash plugin for Firefox: it has trouble after 6-9 hours!

Hi,
Vista32 sp2, 4GB Ram, ALL Adobe Flash plugin for FF versions, now 11.1.102.55.
perhaps dxdiag.txt needed?
Issue:
when Firefox 3.6 (in the past) or 8.0 (now) remains open, after 6-9 hours I become issues with Flash plugin for FF.
ALL YT videos (240p up to 1080p) playback with jumpiness!! with or without acceleration.
ActiveX for IE9 works fine on the same machine. No problem with Silverlight in FF.
Solution: kill the flash plugin process in task manager >refresh the YT video's page > playback again ok.
why the flash plugin is fatigued after 6 or 9 hours?
is it able to handle good the memory usage?
May you want to suggest me a workaround to get the video's palyback smoothly even if Firefox is running a lot of time (without killing the process in task manager)?
or could I to wait for an update of flash plugin in the future that adresses this issue?
Thanks a lot in advance.
best regards.

Hi,
Thank you both for your reply!
@Campbell:
the same effects with or without having the flash acceleration enabled.
I dont know if I am enough able to file a bug request.
I have done (hopefully it is right?
I warmly hope that the Adobe Engineers will read and reproduce my issue and they may want to send me an email if the issue will be resolved.
this were wonderfull.
my OS/hardware seems not too old
no problem in watching/editing full HD content.
if you mean that my bug report looks correct and exhaustive, please forward him to the developers.
(I hope that the report will not be closed, even if it becomes poor votes). thanks.
@ ɹəuəllıʍ :
Yes the same problem in Firefox 8.0 too
(in my old FF 3.6: no issues regarding the jumpiness in Silverlight, therefore I think that this was/is perhaps an issue in "Flash player for FF" only: jumpiness after 6-9 hours usage).
But the new FF 8.0 offers the same behaviour after 6-9 hours.
@both Campbell and ɹəuəllıʍ:

thank you both
in advance.
kind regards.

I can't install the Flash plugin for Firefox

I can't install the Flash plugin for Firefox (Firefox version 1.5.0). I've tried to install the latest version 9.0.16.0 from the Adobe Download Centre. There are no error messages or warnings during the installation.
The Flash plugin for IE is working fine.
I've tried everything, uninstall the pre-installed version (7), re-install FireFox, uninstall all plugins, download and install everything over and over..... still the same problem.

Hi Stephan,
Thans for your reaction and suggestion.
I've cleaned up the register, deleted all the macromedia and flash keys.
Restarted, installed Flash plugin again, IE is working fine (again) but Firefox (and Opera!) only showing the message "Flash plugin needed" when I try to display a site with Flash content.
I have the same combination working on several desktops, does it have anything to do with te pre-installed software from Toshiba?
I have two Toshiba Sattelite's P100 with both exactly the same problems! Flash on IE working, Opera an Firefox NOT.

Flash plugin for Firefox: 2, 3 speed audio?

Hi all,
I am having problem with audio using the flash plugin for Firefox. The video
is OK but the audio seems to be played at double or triple speed, which sounds
funy.
Here is the address:
http://news.com.com/1606-2_3-6052333.ht … &subj=news
Anybody else had this problem before?

its playing in the background right now and sounds fine. Motion is a little jerky but acceptable.
using the 2.6.16 kernel from testing firefox from current over a DSL line.
Is the rtc module loaded? Otherwise at a loss (as usual)
BTW, that VW system is the last thing I need in my truck. Would rather have a cup holder that works and a first gear that does not lose sync.

When flash plugin for 9300 os 6.0?

Hi
anybody know some when be flash plugin for 9300 ?

There's been an announcement in the past that Adobe Flash would be available in the future for QNX BlackBerrys, which have not been released yet.
I sorta doubt we'll see Flash on the 9300 or older models, at all. That's just my opinion.
