FLV video in PDF won't play for Mac user with Reader 9.4.5.

I recently created a PDF with an embedded FLV file. I'm using Acrobat X Pro, so embedding the file created a Rich Media Annotation (RMA). From what I've read, anyone using Acrobat or Reader version 9 or later should be able to play the file. However, one of my readers on a Mac can't play the file, and in fact, doesn't even see a preview of it on the page. He just sees a blank spot.
Can someone shed some light on this?
Thanks.
Dave

There are hundreds of PDF readers. Most of them only view only simple files and fail with interactivity, or PDFs for specialized uses like prepress. As Bob said, the only readers you can be sure of are Adobe Reader and Acrobat. Tell your viewers to download the FREE Adobe Reader to get the best viewing experience, and provide a link to Adobe Reader.

.mp4 video's audio won't play on Firefox, even with Microsoft Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin 1.0.0.8

Title says it all: trying to play any .mp4 video files, or anything that utilizes .mp4 files period, will have the video play just fine, but with absolutely no audio at all. I run a Windows 7 Home Premium, and have tested several sites that utilize .mp4 video files, and have tested it on Internet Explorer, with Explorer showing better results at playing both the audio and video.
I have checked to see if media.windows-media-foundation.enabled is true in the about:config menu, and restarted Firefox, but to no avail. Any ideas as to what could be the root of this problem?

Hi Soundless_Cyborg,
Can you please specify an example url where this is happening, sometimes the video player does not support the codec.
Maybe you need to set it as default for this file type:
Open Control Panel > Programs > Default Programs > Set your default programs > Select Windows Media Player from the lists under Programs > Set this program as default > OK

Help for Mac users with 10.4+ needing X11

Regarding the issue of Mac users needing X11 installed, and that requiring the install DVD (for OSX 10.4+) which many of our users don't have or can't locate or don't want to mess with:
I found this: http://speedyb.osnn.net/X11User.pkg.zip from a google search. Downloaded it and installed and worked great.
Hope this helps.
Since Apple isn't making this available as a download, maybe Sun could post this to an SGD site to make it more broadly available? I suppose we SGD admins could just make it available on our login page.

What Macs have you run across that don't have it installed? All the ones I've dealt with I didn't have to add X11, apparently it's factory installed?

Is there any hope for Mac users with AMD D700 graphic cards trying to run Adobe Premiere 2014 CC?

Who wants to watch a grown man cry? I spent a small fortune on a shiny new mac with 64GB Ram and to quote Larry Jordan, "I could rocket to the moon with the power of this computer." I am running OSX (10.9.5) and have a 12 gig per channel ethernet Maxx Digtial Raid with Areca cards to support 6K footage. However, editing my first project in Premiere CC2014 (leaving FCP 7) has been nothing short of problematic. At first, it plays great but after 20 minutes of editing, speed changes, adding secondary shots etc it starts to play choppy, freeze on certain frames playing just audio and eventually crashes or it takes a minute to render.
I did every possible thing yesterday with Adobe and Apple support. I reinstalled the OS, I trashed 3rd party preferences, trashed Premiere preferences, set project settings from OpenCL to software only and I tried changing location of the Premiere Cache folder but nothing seems to work. Eventually the last Adobe support person said it was due to the AMD card and Adobe. He was emphatic that it was Apple's fault. Apple's support team said it Adobe's. Well after that, Im still stuck. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any pieces of the puzzle?
Is anyone else having the same experience?

The default for CPU Voltage is By CPU VID default for Adjust CPU VID is Startup which should be 1.4 volt. Since Cool'n'Quiet requires a driver to run and I also show low CPU VID in cmos it should be 1.4v but I tried with Cool'n'Quiet disabled and also tried setting CPU VID to 1.4 but have never made it to 1.4 I also tried setting it to 1.425 which is the next step and still read under 1.4.

I need to sync the calendar from Entourage (microsoft office) on my MacBook Pro to my E71 phone. Is this possible? I do NOT use the iCal. My address book is also in Entourage. --Thanks!

Since Office is not an Apple product, you'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?sel=33607053> rather than an Apple forum.

Hi G-hot, were you able to solve your other issues with Youtube from your earlier thread, or is this an additional problem with Youtube? I think if you could list all the problem in one list it might be helpful.

Also, did you do the usual?
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first on Youtube and Gmail). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then change the site at the top from youtube.com to google.com and clear those as well.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

You can sync the music videos, but they won't play on your 6G Nano, because it does not support video playback. Sorry.

I am in the process of expanding a database of chemistry journal articles. These materials are ideally acquired in two formats when both are available-- PDF and HTML. To oversimplify, PDFs are for the user to read, and derivatives of the HTML versions are for the computer to read. Both formats are, of course, readily recognized and indexed by Spotlight. Journal articles have two essential components with regards to a database: the topical content of the article itself, and the cited references to other scientific literature. While a PDF merely lists these references, the HTML version has, in addition, links to the cited items. Each link URL contains the digital object identifier (doi) for the item it points to. A doi is a unique string that points to one and only one object, and can be quite useful if rendered in a manner that enables indexing by Spotlight. Embedded URL's are, of course, ignored by Spotlight. As a result, HTML-formatted articles must be processed so that URL's are openly displayed as readable text before Spotlight will recognize them. Conversion to DOC format using MS Word, followed by conversion to RTF using Text Edit accomplishes this, but is quite labor intensive.
In the last few months, I have added about 3,500 articles to this collection, which means that any procedure for rendering URL's must be automated and able to process large batches of documents with minimal user oversight. This procedure needs to generate a separate file for each HTML document processed. Trials using Automator's "Get Specified Finder Items" and "Get Selected Finder Items", as well as "Ask For Finder Items" (along with "Get URLs From Web Pages") give unsatisfactory results. When provided with multiple input documents, these three commands generate output in which the URLs from multiple input items are merged into a single block, which yields a single file using "Create New Word Document" as the subsequent step. A one-to-one, input file to output file result can be obtained by processing one file at a time, but this requires manual selection of each item and one-at-a-time processing. What I need is a command that accepts multiple input documents, but processes them one at a time, generating a separate output for each file processed. Is there a way for Automator to do this?

Hi,
With the project all done, i'm preparing for the presentation. Managed to get my hands on a HD beamer for the night (Epason TW2000) and planning to do the presentation in HD.
That of course managed to bring up some problems. I posted a thread which i'll repost here . Sorry for the repost, i normally do not intend to do this, but since this thread is actually about the same thing, i'd like to ask the same question to you. The end version is in AfterEffects, but that actually doesn't alter the question. It's about export:
"I want to export my AE project of approx 30 min containing several HD files to a Blu Ray disc. The end goal is to project the video in HD quality using the Epson EMP-TW2000 projector. This projector is HD compatible.
To project the video I need to connect the beamer to a computer capable of playing a heavy HD file (1), OR burn the project to a BRD (2) and play it using a BRplayer.
I prefer option 2, so my question is: which would be the preferred export preset?
Project specs:
                    - 1920x1080 sq pix (16:9)
                    - 25 fps
                    - my imported video files (Prem.Pro sequences) are also 25 fps and are Progressive (!)
To export to a BRD compatible format, do i not encounter a big problem: my projectfiles are 25 fps and progressive, and I believe that the only Bluray preset dispaying 1920x1080 with 25 fps requests an INTERLACED video (I viewed the presets found on this forum, this thread)... There is also a Progr. format, BUT then you need 30 fps (29,...).
So, is there one dimension that can be changed without changing the content of the video, and if yes which one (either the interlacing or the fps).
I'm not very familiar with the whole Blu-ray thing, I hope that someone can help me out."
Please give it a look.
Thanks,
Jef

My videos on iPhoto no longer play ... the message reads OSStatus error -54. anyone any idea what this might mean?

My videos on iPhoto no longer play ... the message reads OSStatus error -54. anyone any idea what this might mean?

Hi Terence,
FWIW...
I just restored my entire iPhoto library from Time Machine. I'm running Yosemite. After opening iPhoto for the first time after restoring the DB, it asked me to confirm my library location. Then it proceeded to update all the thumbnails. After this was completed, I observed what the OP reported: all photos work normally, but all videos were a.) missing thumbnails; and b.) yielding this error code when attempting to open.
HOWEVER. Doing a Reveal in Finder showed the videos on disk, and they were playable. After quitting iPhoto and restarting it, it *again* said it was updating thumbnails, and now all the videos both have the thumbnails and play correctly from within iPhoto.

Unable to attach PDF to email (Outlook for Mac 2011)

We are pushing out software upgrades for CS5 and MS Office 2011 for Mac. We've discoverd that we can't use the Attach to email feature in Acrobat. The spinning rainbow wheel pops up for about a minute, and then Acrobat is non-responsive and we have to force quit. We can still drag and drop an attachment so we have a viable workaround but obviously we'd like to be able to use the automated feature.
All software is up-to-date.
In the preferences panel of Outlook, we have selected Outlook to be the default mail application.
As a sidenote, this feature doesn't work with Acobat X beta either. However, in the beta version of Acrobat X, if we declare Apple's mail application to be the default, it works fine. Unfortunately we use the Office suite as part of our enterprise system, so that's what we need to work with.
Has anyone else experienced this? I've logged a ticket with Adobe but I haven't heard back from them yet.
Thanks for any advise.

Take the bhama way
figured out how to make it work. I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro (mac)
and MS Outlook for Mac 2011.
For those who are interested, this is what I did:
1. Create a folder on desktop to save your pdf¹s files you want to email
to. Mine is named, "PDF to Email"
2. Open Automator, create a "Folder Action"
3. At the top, "Choose Folder", choose your newly created folder on the
desktop
4. Choose the "Rename Finder Items" action from the action list. I chose,
"Don¹t Add" on the add a Copy Finder Items Action menu.
5. On the "Add Date or Time to Finder Item Names" I chose, "Name Single
Item" from the first drop down menu.
6. Click on "Options" at the bottom of that window to select the "Show
this action when the workflow runs" so you can rename your file
something other than the Acrobat default.
7. Choose the "Create New Outlook Mail Message" from the action list and
add it below the "Name Single Item in Finder Item Names"
8. Choose "File>Save As" and give your file a name. Mine is, "PDF to
Email".
9. Close Automator
10. Open Acrobat X Pro.
11. Go to "File>Action Wizard>Create New Action"
12. Here you choose, "Save to>A Folder on my computer"
13. Choose the folder on the desktop that we saved earlier
14. Save the file, with the action name you will remember.
Now when you are in Acrobat X Pro and you want to send that .pdf file via
Outlook for Mac 2011, follow the steps below.
With the file you want to email open, go to "File>Action Wizard>(Action
you created) Mine is "PDF to Email". It will take a few seconds, but you
will get an "Action Completed". You will get a pop up that allows you to
name/rename the file. Then it should open your Outlook with your .pdf
attached and ready for sending.
You might need to tweak the actions to suit your needs, but this should
work for you.

Help with PDF formsmaking them work for Windows users

I'm using a new user of Acrobat 8.0.0 and having a helluva time figuring out how to make PDF forms that work for Windows users.
I can make the forms okay and Mac users can fill them out (using either Preview or Reader), and I get them emailed to me just fine. But all of the PC users that I send them to tell me that they "can't save them."
Here's a test PDF I've created (with just a few plain fields in it):
http://www.braintoniq.com/dropbox/test.pdf
Can someone who's got XP tell me what I'm doing wrong? Or what I can tell my XP users how to save it and be able to email it back with their text.
thank you!

tuqqer;
Worked on my Firefox browser PDF plug-in running XP on my MBP. Opened the completed form in Adobe Reader 9 Windows and all looked fine. Just a note on your fields; date field not properly formatted and once filled, it has the same name as the NAME field. Just make sure our fields are named separately.
Best.

No Wimbledon for Mac users

I would have liked to watch the Wimbledon finals on my computer, but according to their site Apple computers are not supported "due to the digital rights management and sharing technology used".
http://wimbledon.mediazone.com/US/subscribe.html
http://img.skitch.com/20080705-dj5mu9mn985trq6f4pn3bufhba.jpg
I don't know what they're referring to exactly, and honestly I don't really care.
But I'm tired of things being unavailable for Mac users. Apple, what are you doing about it??
thanks,
Liz

You can view them by paying a subscription. They use the WMV format (bless 'em!) so you will need Flip4Mac WMV Player from... On Wimbledon.com's subscription page, they specifically tell Mac users that they are not supported.
Unfortunately, it appears they will not be supported on a Mac under OS X. According to a comment on the UK site, it appears viewing will require VMV 10/11 which leaves out Mac users whose Flip4Mac support only extends as high as WMV 9. However, all of the "archives" and "free" material seems to be encoded with WMV 9 and is still accessible.
That's where Apple needs to be on the ball and if there is an easy solution, make sure that the folks at Wimbledon.com know about it, and that they make it available to their subscribers.
What you seem to fail to realize is the fact that WMV DRM and Apple's DRM are mutually incompatible and in direct competition with one another other. Further, you seem to think it is Apple's responsibility to initiate and organize "a commission on standards compliance." I hate to break the news, but as already been pointed out above, Apple compression formats, in almost every case, adhere to open standards already agreed upon by the ISO/IEC Moving Pictures Expert Group. It is the proprietary software developers which add their own enhancements, "improvements", and/or mix/merge various profiles/features/capabilities that you must convince to adhere to the already established standards.
I can't take electronic books, videos, or music out of my local library because I have a Mac, and they use OverDrive. Can you honestly tell me that's not Apple's problem?
How is it Apple's problem that the Libraries also opted to use WMV and its DRM over Apple's? Further, if you check out what the Overdrive Console is in actuality, you will find it is simply management software which performs the same functions as Apple's iTunes -- i.e., the prevention of unauthorized burning or distribution of DMR files, the timely forced expiration of "overdue" content, and the selection, access, and management of Library System media. Let's face it, in many ways Microsoft's DRM capabilities are more business oriented where Apple is more home entertainment/personal user oriented. I can't say that I really blame business oriented, "bottom line" sites for selecting one over the other here.
I don't deny that there is a workaround and that with some knowledge, you can make it work,
The only real workaround I see here is to have a Mac Intel system with functioning Windows XP, Vista, or similar Windows OS that supports WMV Player v10 or v11. Since I really don't care about viewing any of the sites or content that you seem to feel are so important, this is not a "hot issue" for me one way are the other.

Instructions for Mac users?

Hello,
Are there step-by-step instructions available for Mac users filling out my form? Not everyone using the form is super techy, and people are still using Preview to fill out the form even after downloading the Adobe software because it's what automatically pops up. Because I use a PC, I don't know how to walk them through making sure they open and save the form using Adobe. Is there something out there that details how Mac users can open the form using Adobe and not Preview? I'd love to put instructions on our website now instead of waiting for more frustrated phone calls from people whose forms saved blank!
Thanks!

The issue usually is that PDF-s open in Acrobat/Acrobat Reader not in Preview, and the user can't use the features offered by Preview. In both cases the solution is to right click on the file and manually choose the app/program in which you want it to be opened. (Using Open in... feature) Of course, the Acrobat/Reader has to be installed not just downloaded.
I hope this helps.
