Can't view PDFs created in Captivate 8

Hi,
We use PDFs for SME review. However, when trying to open the PDFs via Adobe Reader X1 (11.0.10) , get the message "To view the Flash technology content in this PDF file, plese install the requied version of Flash Player'. Any ideas?
Many thanks.

Sooo, the question is, have you tried upgrading the Flash player on those systems? If not, that's the next logical step.
If you have, you likely need to report to Adobe as a bug. Sometimes the Flash player is "too new" and you actually have to DOWNGRADE to make things work. I've seen that with Captivate, but not sure I've ever heard of it with a PDF trying to play a Captivate SWF.
Cheers... Rick

Can't view pdf in any browser

Using Mac os10.6. I can't view pdf in Safari or Firefox (comes up as blank black or white page only) nor in Chrome where it says the adobe plug-in is not installed (which of course it is) I checked for all updates, reviewed the settings for the internet reader on Chrome, which is set to be Acrobat reader. Even ran a disk diagnostic to check for corrupted files. I am looking for suggestions on fixing this issue. I am able to create, read and open pdf's from email and any file already on my computer. It's got to be this plug-in, I just don't know how to fix it.

I signed out of my account and signed in my wife's account on the same
computer. I could open the pdf files with Safari but could not save
them. I could not open them with Firefox or Opera. When I use my
account, I get a terrible cross hatch on the front of them in Safari and
can not open them in the other browsers. This sounds as if I have two
problems, one for the cross hatch and one for not working at all.
The three latest Apple upgrades also messed up my print to both paper
and pdf but I was able to fix that by going into the Library and the
Print folder and throwing away a file.
Apple really should test upgrades more before releasing them. Apple
support, for the most part, varies a lot. They could not help me on
this one. I have used Apple support five or six times and at least half
of these, they could not help and I had to fix the problem myself.
I sure hope they fix this one as it seems complex. I also wonder if I
upgrade to Mountain Lion, will I have the same problem?

Unable to view pdf created in Live Cycle Designer ES2-initially thought to be a user/OS issue

Unable to view pdf created in Live Cycle Designer ES2. I initially thought this was a user / OS issue when I created a document for someone who is new to a MAC laptop. She could not view the document through email. Unfortunately, I began seeing the same error in my own document folders when searching for another document showing as icons instead of a list. I can open the file without a problem although I see the error she sees only while viewing the icons in my folder. I am using a Windows 7 PC. Now, I also know that if the document is downloaded, it can be viewed.
Other notes:
If trying to access the form via the internet, the same error is seen through Chrome, Firefox, and Mozilla but NOT through IE
Everyone seems to have the latest or a very recent READER
The form is compatible with Reader versions 7 and up
Again, downloading from the internet to the computer appears to allow the file to open properly
Document cannot be viewed on the Galaxy Tab 2 via Chrome or the pre-installed Internet Browser, nor can it be viewed through the Reader after download to tablet. I did not try on an Apple iPad.
All parties involved are up-to-date with virus protection.
Below is a link to the exact message received when trying to open the document.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/wmjqzwyriovg9vi/Adobe%20Error.pdf

You're on to something KJ! Yes the form was created in LiveCycle Designer ES2 which came bundled with my Adobe X Pro. I began creating a new form yesterday and found that I could not preview the form, rendering this same "error" instead. I ran a repair on my Adobe and at first it seemed to fix the issue but after making some changes to the form I tried to preview again and couldn't. Here is what I get when I try to preview my forms in Designer ES2:
When I click the OK button, it then gives me that single static page as mentioned above in previous posts.
I searched Adobe yesterday trying to figure out how I could repair the LiveCycle Designer or if there was some sort of patch that I haven't gotten but was not able to find anything.
(Sorry for the delay in response, I've been on vacation.)

Can't view PDF in browser

Running FireFox 3.6.8 - Can't view PDF files in browser. Get a messgae that basically says "Can't not display PDF file in browser. Exit Reader and your browser and try again."

I think this message should go to all who contacted me, and for that I thank you.
It seems I have found the problem, or at least I can now view PDF files. I disabled the FireFox Plug-in "Adobe Acrobat 9.3.4.218" which is described as "Adobe Acrobat Plug-In for FireFox and Netscape 9.3.4".
Not being a genius at computers, I really don't know what has happened. I just know that I went into the "Tools/Addons/Plug-ins" section of FireFox and disabled the above plug-in and the next thing I know I could view PDF files.
Again, thanks to all for trying to help

Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore. It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version. Please help? I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore. It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version. Please help? I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

Can't view pdf files in gmail (OS 5.01)

Since I have installed OS 5.1 I can't view pdf files in my gmail account. I can view them on yahoo (same email) or with the previous OS. I just download 5.01 a week ago so I am not sure if I missed something for settings or if I need to change something because my search has not discovered anyone else having an issue.
Thanks!

Yes, I can view emails it is the PDF files I can't download or view. In OS 4 I could touch the attachment and it would open up, now when I touch the attachment it just tries to download. This is for all PDF files in gmail.

I'm new to the Apple products. How can I view pdf files since Apple and Adobe don't play together?

I'm new to the Apple products. How can I view pdf files and videos since Apple and Adobe don't play together? Also, what operating system does the iPhone use? I'm a Windows person.

You may want to download and read the manual for your phone. It may answer a lot of the basic questions.

There is an app on your phone called "Mail". Yes, it's for reading your email.
Best of luck.

Can't view pdf; getting message to launch Adobe Reader and sign user agreement that I can't find.

I'm trying to view my son's 1098-T on his college's website, but keep getting the 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."
When I launch Adobe Reader, I can't find a user agreement to accept. I have tried relaunching both Google Chrome and Adobe Reader several times to no avail. I've also redownloaded and tried to reinstall Adobe Reader, but it got a message it was already installed. I previously had problems getting the pdf to fill (the form was blank and didn't have my student's info), and reinstalled Adobe Reader before I realized I had to disable Google Chrome's pdf viewer, which I have since done.

Sorry. I have a Mac with OS X 10.9.5
I've since totally deleted Adobe Reader and reinstalled it but have the same problem anytime I try to view a PDF with Adobe Reader. The college website won't let me save the form, only view it. If I use another pdf viewer the form won't fill with my son's info; I think it has to be Adobe Reader for some reason

Can't view PDF files in Mail

After the 10.5 upgrade I can no longer view PDFs in Mail. Not sure if this is also due to the install of Adobe CS3, however now PDFs just show as a "mime-attachment" which do not display in any other app. Other 10.5.1 users can view these email attachments just fine.
Is there a way to re-enable PDF files in Mail.app, so that mails with PDF files are displaying within mail.app correctly?

Yes, I can view emails it is the PDF files I can't download or view. In OS 4 I could touch the attachment and it would open up, now when I touch the attachment it just tries to download. This is for all PDF files in gmail.

Can't view PDF files in Wb Browser

Hello from a relative newbie to Adobe.
Recently I began getting the message " Adobe Acrobat Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again " when viewing web sites.
I have Adobe Acrobat 4 ( and always have, I think ) so I successfully downloaded Version 9.1 but still keep getting the same message.
Could I get some help please ?
Cheers,

As long as I can view the current bank files (not downloads), the actual statements are not vital. I can print those pages, but it's just very difficult and time consuming to go through all of that when a statement is what I need. I can always go back to paper statements in the mail, but those would just be current.
Anyway, it happened just as you said...out of the blue. You probably know more than I do about computer issues...you might check out your firewall and security settings. I get lost when I start checking things out, so I'll try to keep track and let you know if I find a solution.
Thanks, George...maybe Adobe will respond???
Take care.....
