Flash Player in Acrobat Pro?

Hi there,
I have very carefully installed (and uninstalled... and installed...) the latest flash player on my computer.
I am also running Adobe Design Premium CS4.
I note the flash player doesn't appear in the list of players in my acrobat settings.
I have a pdf file with flash content which does not open in Acrobat. Instead i get the following message:
This takes me to a website (http://cgi.adobe.com/special/acrobat/mediaplayerfinder/mediaplayerfinder.cgi?) where I am told: "We're sorry, but the third-party media player required to play the selected media file in your Adobe PDF document isn't available for your system. No media player will be downloaded at this time."
My pdf file works on any other computer i've tried... all of these computers have Flash Player shown in the list of potential 'preferred media players' above.
I've carefully followed the instructions for removing flash (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html), and for reinstalling it. No joy yet.
My conclusion is that flash is not installing correctly into Acrobat. I've posted questions and a support case with the Acrobat team, but they have suggested it is a flash player issue.
Can anybody help me resolve this problem?
Thanks,
Geoff

Believe it or not, here is the solution to the problem:
I installed flash player with Mozilla Firefox. This doesn't install flash for internet explorer, or Acrobat.
The internet explorer flash install also installs flash player in Acrobat, whereas the Mozilla Firefox flash install doesn't.
So the solution:
Go to the flash website in Internet Explorer, and download the flash player.
Then everything works fine!
Geoff

  • Adobe flash player for vivaz pro

    Hey, im looking for adobe flash player for vivaz pro. its symbian s60v5 so it should support it but i cant download it from adobe's website and i havent managed to find it elsewhere either.

    Yes, that's because your phone already has flash lite installed--I'm guessing that the version from that link is probably the same as the one in your phone, despite it saying that it's version 4--or perhaps you have Flash lite version 4.0 already installed in your phone. Either way, Symbian only supports Flash lite (latest version being 4.0), so have a look here on this table  of OS vs type of compatible Adobe flash player:

  • Install Flash Player in Acrobat Reader XI

    Hi all,
    I've several users facing a problem in Reader XI when reading PDF with RMA.
    When they open the PDF, a yellow bar appears at the top saying “To view the Flash technology content in this PDF file, please install the required version of Flash Player”. Clicking on “Learn More”, we have two situations:
    Win XP: nothing appends it just hangs Reader… then people goes into the normal flash player page, install it but it don’t fix the problem.
    Win 7: opens the community help tool, with the “Flash Player needed | Acrobat, Reader X” page, following the instructions “Right-click the link below for your operating system:  “Windows: Flash Player Installer for Windows “ , there are no “Save Link As or Save Target As ” context menu, and clicking on it nothing appends…
    The only way (for Win7) is to copy&paste the url into a browser then follow the instructions, but this is not something trivial… and user doesn’t succeed & goes away…
    Is there any planning to make this process easier?
    Thanks, regards,
    GLoureiro

    The link URL in the community help page ( http://www.adobe.com/go/acrobat_flashdownload_installer_win )  does a  redirection so it picks up the latest version of the installer - which is why it won't report as a downloadable item when you context-click it in some browsers. However just clicking the link will force download of the bootstrapper.
    On Windows XP if the message bar link within Reader isn't doing anything, it suggests the help system isn't working on that installation. Manually installing the regular Flash Player plugin will work but you MUST choose the version for Firefox, not the version for Internet Explorer.

  • Flash Player on MacBook Pro

    Hello: I tried to install Flash 8 Player on MacBook Pro and it did not work. Then, I realized because maybe it's not Universal, it won't work. Does anyone know if you can install the Flash Player on MacBook Pro? Thanks in advance for your advice.

    The special version of the Flash plug-in supplied with Intel-Macs can be restored by extracting a fresh copy from the installer disc. You will need to download Pacifist (www.versiontracker.com) and use it to extract a fresh copy of the Flash plug-in from the file archive on the installer DVD.
    Please read the following about other possible incompatibilities:
    A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
    If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
    Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3 or G4 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
    Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
    Screensavers written for the PowerPC
    System Preference add-ons
    All Unsanity Haxies
    Browser and other plug-ins
    Contextual Menu Items
    Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
    Kernel extensions
    Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
    See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
    Be sure to verify with developer or from information on download sites whether software is a universal binary. Many of the incompatible products currently in use will likely be updated in time.
    In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
    If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
    If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers. These versions are not universal binaries and will not work on Intel-Macs. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
    The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the only current choice is USB Overdrive. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
    Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior (does not work), TechTool Pro (does not work), SuperDuper (newest release works), and Drive Genius (untested) may not work properly on Intel-Macs. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.
    Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
    Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:
    Intel In Macs
    Apple Guide to Universal Applications
    MacInTouch List of Compatible Universal Binaries
    MacInTouch List of Rosetta Compatible Applications
    MacUpdate List of Intel-Compatible Software

  • Loop flash video in Acrobat Pro 9

    Hi everyone,
    Is there a way to make an inserted FLV video loop in Acrobat Pro 9? Neither the import dialog nor the playback controls have this option.

    Sorry I meant in flash In other words editing for the FLV is controled with Flash or whatever application that created it. Acrobat just has a player built in.

  • Should i install adobe flash player on macbook pro with OSX

    Just purchased my first macbook pro, I am thinking of installing Adobe Flash Player but wasnt sure if this is good idea or not. Any suggestions?

    Sure - most of the content on YouTube - and much of the video content on the web - uses Flash technology.
    Just make certain that you get it straight from Adobe -> http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/.
    Happy computing!

  • How to download adobe flash player onto MacBook pro

    Hi, can anyone tell me how to download adobe flash player onto my new MacBook Pro with retina display please?
    I don't know what operating system it has?

    If you've a new Retina display MacBook Pro, it probably shipped with Mavericks - you can confirm this by going to the Apple on the menu bar and selecting "About This Mac...." if it says system 10.9 or 10.9.1, you're on Mavericks.
    To install Flash Player, you must first download it from Adobe -> http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/. After the download is complete, you should have a file with a .dmg extension in your Downloads folder. Double-click this file and it will 'mount' as if it is a disk. There will be a 'package' inside and you must double-click this to actually install Flash Player.
    Once Flash Player is installed, restart your computer and then open your browser. You should now be able to view Flash content.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Installing adobe flash player to MacBook pro

    I am trying to install adobe flash player on a brand new Mac book Pro but it isn't downloading.

    Or here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Note that either link will get you a .dmg file downloaded onto your Mac. Double click to open. Inside is the installer program itself, which you must run and follow its instructions to complete the Flash installation.
