HT1338 do i need adobe reader or flash

Do I need adobe reader & flash player with Lyon?

Depends on your needs. Anytime Adobe adds new features to Acrobat Pro, there will be users creating documents using those new features the Reader will be able to display that Apple's Preview cannot, since they have to play catch-up and try to figure out how to render the new format.
As far as Flash, that is site dependent. Flash is used on the web, more than anything else it seems, to animate ads. But you also need it for YouTube videos and many other objects where if Flash is not enabled, you may not even be able to use a particular site.
That's for now. With Flash banned from mobile devices, expect more and more companies to use HTML5 and do away with Flash entirely. It will probably be a slow transition, but I think Flash's days are numbered.

    Hi...
    For videos. Uninstall the current Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Quit then relaunch Safari. From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Try a video.
    All online bank statments are in PDF format.
    Go to  /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin  (or just PDF Browser plugin) to the Trash.
    Now try a bank statement.

  • Installing Adobe Reader or Flash

    It seems that no matter what website you go to, you need to have installed either Adobe Reader or Flash. I tried to do both and got the same error for both. Is it not possible to install those programs on the Pearl?
    Thanks
    Jeff

    Please, you wrote "But the BlackBerry can natively read PDF files", you mean that:
    - I can read an Acrobat document that I have previously stored on the multimedia card,
    or:
    -you mean that I can read Acrobat attachment of email messages?
    The difference is thin but real.
    I'm interested to read Acrobat document stored local.
    Thank you.

    I understand that it is difficult to determine which forum to post in since there are so many. This particular forum (sharing and storage) was created to help those transitioning from Photoshop.com to Adobe Revel. I am moving your post to the correct forum so that it can get proper attention.
    I'll put this posting in the flash community so the experts there can help you.

  • How do I open a file that needs  adobe reader on my iPad

    How do I open a file on my iPad that needs adobe reader.

    Safari and the Mail app support PDFs - tap on them and they should open. If you want to store them on the iPad then there are a number of apps that support them and which you can sync them to or use 'open in' on Safari or Mail to copy them to e.g. free apps such as Apple's iBooks and Adobe Reader

  • Does a person need Adobe Reader in order to use a fillable PDF form?

    I have created a fillable form using Acrobat XI and I find that some persons are unable to use it  while others are.  Does a person need Adobe Reader to use the fillable  form?  If so, how easy is it to download?
    Thank you

    Hi kenmilw,
    Reader is an excellent, and free, option for your recipients who need to fill out your form. It's easily downloaded from www.adobe.com/products/reader.html. You can also use the Fill & Sign service on Acrobat.com to fill any PDF form.
    What troubles are your recipients encountering? And those who do have trouble--how are they filling out the form?
    Best,

    Sorry, I don't understand this - you don't want Adobe [Reader] not to open when doing what?  On what operating system?

  • Do I need adobe reader to view pages in Preview?

    If I want to print a PDF page, when browsing web, do I also need Adobe Reader or is Preview sufficient to print PDF documents?? Don;t want to have duplicate apps if i don't need them.

    Preview should be sufficient.

    Hi salex7,
    I just checked your account and saw that your order is still processing. I can take several hours for an order to process fully. Once it does, however, you should have no problem logging in and converting files.
    Please try again shortly, and let us know if you're able to log in.

  • Do I need Adobe Reader & alternative browsers?

    Hello!
    I'm relatively new to the world of Mac and am delighted so far.
    However, I've tried downloading a bill from an energy supplier's site (Powergen) and it opens a window then says "we could not access your bill." I've tried on various occasions - same result. It may be the site is having problems; maybe it doesn't recognise Safari (although other areas of 'online account management' seem OK). Also, I tried downloading a document from the British Gas site and it told me I need Adobe Reader. On other sites (so far) PDF-style docs load into Safari's reader with no probs.
    Basically, do I need Adobe Reader? Should I try Debug? (where Safari 'pretends' to be IE), and/or should I try different browsers? In my Windows days I used Firefox, although I gather Camino is more 'purpose built' for the Mac. Is this the case?
    Many thanks for any advice offered.

    Hello Ast. A. Moore, thanks for replying.
    I can't provide a link to the Powergen bill page exactly as that is part of the 'security log-in' section.
    The British Gas page, however, appears below. I'm sorry about the length of the url but I haven't yet figured out how to make a proper clickable link here.
    If you paste the below into your browser and go to this page on their site, then click on the sentence 'British and Scottish Gas Prices' in blue down the page hopefully it will then try to get you their price list. It was at this point I got the 'Acrobat Reader required' message in a new window.
    link
    I hope the above is useful; and thanks for your help.

  • Adobe Reader says I have it but I cannot look at certain statements because it says I need Adobe Reader, but I have it! Feeling frustrated!!!

    I keep running into problems seeing documents and such on Safari. When I go to a page it says I need Adobe Reader to view it but I already have the newest Adobe Reader on my computer. I really need to fix this! Can anyone help me?

    This is what it says. I have done all of this and it still does not let me view the page.
    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.

  • Problems with Adobe Reader and Flash Player

    I had an Adobe update last Monday and, ever since then, I can't view documents (eg credit card statements) on screen and sites that I previously visited regularly without problem suddenly say that I need to have Adobe Flash Player installed. I've downloaded Adobe Flash Player and it says it's installed correctly but when I return to the site, it still says I need Adobe Flash Player. I've also tried doing an uninstall first and then an instal but the same thing happens. I've run disk first aid and it found a problem with the Head which it fixed but I still can't open documents using Adobe in Safari. Adobe Plug ins tells me that the Internet Access plug in is not loaded but when I ran 'repair Adobe Reader installation", it said there were no missing components detected and repair was not needed. I don't know if it's relevant but I've been having problems with Safari for several weeks, quitting 3 or 4 times a day, mainly when I'm switching from Safari to another programme such as Entourage or Excel.

    Hi Carolyn
    I don't think I made it clear on the original post that I'm having problems with both Adobe Reader AND Adobe Flash Player. Unfortunately, all the Adobe Reader sites are confidential so I can't give you an illustration on that but for the Adobe Flash Player, try www.jacquielawson.com/ - you can preview cards without being signed in. With the Adobe Reader problems, I get a picture of a blank 'piece of paper' with a small blue square in the top right hand corner that has a white question mark inside it. The first time this happened to me, I was on the UK Inland Revenue site trying to print out some end of year forms. I phoned the Revenue's helpline and they said to try doing a 'save as' to my desktop. It seemed bizarre - saving a blank piece of paper - but lo and behold, when I opened it on my desktop, the forms appeared exactly as normal. However, I've since tried this 'save as' technique with my credit card statement and I still get a blank piece of paper with a blue square and white question mark when I open the desktop copy.
    Thanks for your help and patience. I really appreciate it.
