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 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.

Flash plugin detected but not working (Firefox 22 on Linux)

Hi all,
I can't get the flash plugin to work. It's installed, detected in about:plugins, but when I visit adobes's test page at http://www.adobe.com/fr/shockwave/welcome/ , I just get the usual " you need a plugin to view this content" thing.
This happenned since I migrated from Mageia 1 to Mageia 2, and still doesn't work on Mageia 3, which uses Firefox 17 ESR. I then downloaded and installed Firefox 22 directly from Mozilla, still with no luck. I've reset my profile, tried to use an empty profile, tried disabling all add-ons, still no luck.
about:plugins displays this:
File : libflashplayer.so
Path : /opt/firefox/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so
Version : 11,2,202,297
State : Enabled
Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202
This is the most up-to-date flash version available from Adobe.
Another thing is that this machine is a 32 bits install, on an Athlon XP 3000+ with a Radeon X1650 graphics card. Surprisingly, on another machine, using the same distro but with a 64 bits install, Flash works well.
I'm out of ideas now, so any hint would be welcome. Thank you.

Shockwave also known as Shockwave for Director is not the same as the Shockwave Flash Player.

Flash plugin 10.3 not working in SUSE linux enterprise 10 version.

OS using: SUSE linux enterprise 10 version
current Flash Plugin: 9.0
I have downloaded the latest version of Flash plugin 10.3. for linux and replaced the old flash.so file with the new one. but after updating, i got only blank white screen. When i rigth click on the browser, i can see flash plugin 10.3 menu. I don't know what is the issue. Flash plugin 9 is working fine without any issue. I browse through adobe website and findout some additional libraries are required for FP 10. Is that the problem now. If so how can i fix that. Somebody please help me out.

Sorry, I know nothing about Linux; it was the only idea I had.
The only other suggestion I have is to try updating the device drivers for the video adapter, but I'm not sure this will fix the problem.
Hopefully someone from Adobe can have a look at your problem tomorrow at US daytime.

IPlanet plugin for WebLogic not working - cannot find function named wl_init

Hi,
I have been having this issue for the last two days. It relates to
IPlanet plugin for WbLogic. Following is the error I get:
[17/Apr/2003:11:41:26] config ( 2069): func_exec reports: cannot find
function named wl_init [17/Apr/2003:11:41:26] failure ( 2069):
Configuration initialization failed: Error running init function
wl_init: unknown error
Here is my environment:
SUN E-250 Server
Solaris 8.0 with recommended Patch-set
iPlanet-WebServer-Enterprise/6.0SP4
Web logic 7 SP2
Here is how I have edited magnus.conf to include the following lines:
Init fn="load-modules"
shlib="/usr/iplanet/servers/plugins/lib/libproxy.so" func
s="wl_proxy,wl_init" Init fn="wl_init"
#ServerRoot /usr/iplanet/servers/https-cablevision5
..... rest of the file ..........
As you have noticed I have put everything regrding plugin in one line.
I have also used various other combinations of breaking this line
into multiple lines but no use.
What I have also noticed is that if I change the name of libproxy.so
to some other arbitrary file name that does not exist, even then the
error message does not change. So it looks like the library is not
even being loaded.
The library file is owned by root and has permissions to read and
execute for everyone.
I will really appreciate is I can get any help. I have noticed that
there are folks who have posted similar problem, no one gave an answer
to them. Please be more generous this time in furnishing with your
opinion.
Thanks
Jamal

I will try and be as descriptive as possible. I hate the posts that
dont give any help.
Anyway you did not mention anything about your obj.conf configuration.
Here is how it should look, e.g.:
Init fn="load-modules" funcs="wl-proxy,wl-init"\
shlib=/usr/local/netscape/plugins/libproxy.so
Init fn="wl-init"
<Object name="weblogic" ppath="*/weblogic/*">
Service fn=wl-proxy WebLogicHost=myweblogic.server.com\
WebLogicPort=7001 PathTrim="/weblogic"
</Object>
Check the following url:
http://www.weblogic.com/docs51/admindocs/nsapi.html
Ok,so you probably have those in there. If not, then please check
that you have directives in obj.conf and the magnus.conf as well.
Again the service line should be all one line.
Next, are you proxying by path or by suffix. I.E. do you want
everything to go to weblogic or just .jsp. You can configure either
way. This will change your directive. Specifically ppath means proxy
by path. To proxy by file extension (or what i call suffix) then look
at this url for specifics:
http://www.weblogic.com/docs51/admindocs/nsapi.html#exts (notice the
anchor in the link)
Post how it goes...

Enable Commenting for Reader not working

I create a PDF file in Acrobat 8.1 and select Enable Commenting in Reader. However, the users open the file in Reader 9 and it doesn't work. I've been able to replicate this. And no matter what I do - save the file with a different name, in a different location, whatever - it never enables commenting. However, if I check the Security for the file in Reader it says commenting is allowed. I'm at my rope's end. This is how my users provide feedback so it's a really important feature for us.
Anyone know why this is happening? This was not an issue up until recently and nothing has changed (no upgrades or anything).

Thanks for getting back. I am uploading a sample of PDF in which I enabled commenting but when I open it in Reader the commenting toolbar is not displayed but when you go to properties it says commenting is allowed. I also checked to make sure the files were not be saved as archive files (it is set to never save files as archives).
I am also uploading screenshots of the process I follow to enable comments and of the Reader properties dialog that shows commenting is allowed.

E-mail Link in Flash MX for Mac Not Working

Hi
I'm currently using Flash MX on a Mac running OS 10.4. When I
publish a SWF file the e-mail link in it doesn't work. Within the
Flash file itself I've added the action mailto:[email protected]
to a button. It simply opens up the default internet browser
(Safari) when clicked, instead of the default e-mail program (Mail
or Entourage).
It works fine on PCs running Windows XP or Vista - just not
on Macs. I even sent it to a friend who also has a Mac to make sure
it wasn't just my computer, and he had the same problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

you are using....???
getURL("mailto:[email protected]");
This would be the proper syntax. What version of the Player
are you targeting 4,5,6 perhaps even 7?

Weblogic plugin for eclipse not working...

Hi All:
I recently downloaded the weblogic plugin (1.1.1) for eclipse from here: http://dev2dev.bea.com/codelibrary/code/wlplugin.jsp.
I followed the installation steps as laid out in the readme file, but I am not
seeing the 'WebLogic' option in the 'Window' -> 'Customize Perspective...' ->
'Other' node.
I have tried with both eclipse 2.1.3 and 3.0.0 on windows 2k, with the same result.
I know I am missing something here 'coz reading posts from this group it appears
people are using it fairly successfully.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards
Sanjeev

Two issues with the BEA Weblogic/Eclipse plugin:
1. The documentation hasn't been updated (readme.html). It still says 1.1.0 even though the current version is 1.1.1.
2. Assuming that the readme.html still applies to version 1.1.1, the language pack of the plugin is missing. The instructions say to copy the language pack (com.bea.eclipse.weblogic.nl1_1.1.0) to the Eclipse plugins directory. But this folder is not in the plugin zip file. Is this supposed to be downloaded separately?
In any case, the plugin isn't registering in Eclipse 2.1. I can only guess that it's because the language pack is missing. It looks like others are having problems as well.
Any word on this?
Thanks in advance,

Upgraded Adobe Flash Player for Mac not working for Youtube

There was a similar question already asked today. I also tried to watch a video on Youtube from a Mac (OS X 10.5.8) and Safari (ver. 4.0.2). However, instead of the video a recommendation to "Go Upgrade!" comes up on Youtube with the following link: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
I picked the right operating system, installed the player, restarted the computer, but am still getting the same message "Go Upgrade!" on Youtube.
Also, in the other message you recommend to go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ but I cannot see a Flash animation on that page.
Can you help? Thank you!

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.

Need MSI Download of Adobe Flash Plugin for Adobe Reader

From this link:

I found EXE Download of Adobe Flash Plugin for Adobe Reader/Acrobat:

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:

Flash Player 10.1 not working for Mac

I recently downloaded the new flash player 10.1 for my mac and also have updated to the latest safari browser but every time i try and watch any videos or play flash games it doesn't work and i'm told to download the latest flash player. I've tried uninstalling the reinstalling and enabling the flash plugin but nothing is working. After it says that it has installed successfully which i do when all the browsers are shut and i restart the computer it doesn't work. Not sure if i've done something wrong, but this is driving me up the wall!!!! Can anyone please help me??

Hi, Sometimes the update of the Safari browser disables the Shockwave Flash plugin. Look into the HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ directory and see if you have: Make sure it is Enabled.
Flash Player.plugin
Hope that helps,

Flash Player 10 does not work in IE or Firefox. What could it conflict with?

I'm using Firefox 3.6.8 (and sometimes IE 8.0.6001.18702IC) on Windows XP Pro, SP 3.
For some weeks now, I have been unable to hear any sounds on anything Flash-based, from YouTube to games at MSN.com or embedded videos on any site using Flash. Initially I had assumed it to be because of having QuickTime installed because I know QT likes to hijack everything. I uninstalled QT (and Real Player) and Flash Player then reinstalled Flash Player (and Shockwave Player just in case) and guess what?
Yup. Nothing. When I uninstalled everything, I used a program called Revo Uninstaller, which includes a registry cleaning option. I then used Abexo and WinASO's registry cleaners to make sure I got everything else that even looked like QuickTime off my hard drive.
When I reinstalled Flash, the following programs appeared in C:\Windows\system 32\Macromed\Flash:
Flash 10i.ocx (10.1.82.76)
FlashUtil10i_ActiveX (10.1.82.76)
FlashUntil10i_Plugin (10.1.82.76)
genuinst (6.0.2800.1531)
FlashUtil10i_ActiveX.dll (10.1.82.76)
NPSWF32.dll (10.1.82.76)
KB931433
FlashInstall
Install
Flashplayer.xpt
When I check IE's "Tools" and look for add-ons, it says that Flash (Shockwave Flash) is enabled. I even enabled the other Adobe add-ons for Acrobat and such just to be sure. Firefox shows Shockwave Flash and Shockwave for Director both to be enabled. The Flash control panel settings don't help: I have all sites set to store about 100 KB on my computer to make sure there's enough room for everything but still nothing.
Before anyone asks, my audio drivers are up to date, thanks to the manufacturer's website. I have DirectX 9.0c installed and everything else works fine. I can play audio and video elsewhere with no problems. It's only Flash that's showing me this trouble and there's no hint as to what else could be interfering with Flash.
Any ideas?

Well, great. I tried the uninstall/reinstall before, but not with the uninstaller, so I was hopeful that this time might do it. No such luck. The video still plays, but no sound.
All the sound settings are working with everything else from games to media players. I set Windows' firewall to allow both the ActiveX and plugin for Flash, just in case.
In the Flash folder, I now have:
Flash10l.ocx (10.1.102.64)
Flash Util10l_ActiveX (10.1.102.64)
FlashUtil10l_Plugin (10.1.102.64)
Genuinst (6.0.2800.1531)
FlashUtil10l_ActiveX.dll (10.1.102.64)
NPSWF32.dll (10.1.102.64)
And the setup and text files that went with 'em.
I've also done a system restart since then and zip.
I went through IE and Firefox and looked for any file associations (like .flv) that I could manually change over to using Flash, but no go. The settings panels for Flash have all been set to allow YouTube specifically (as a test) and to allow 10KB of storage space for all affected sites.
Now what? I'm really not looking forward to a reformat and reinstall, but it's looking like that's what it's going to take.

Something is strange with your list of modules; you list FlashUntil10i_Plugin (10.1.102.64), but this is really 10.1.85.3
I recommend that you uninstall Flash Player completely (using http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html), then restart Windows, and delete all remaining files in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash.
Next reinstall both ActiveX (http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe) and the plugin (http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe).
After that, if the problem persists, have a look at this page http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83739.html

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.
