PDF with flash files

i am trying to convert PPT files that have embedded flash videos to PDF format with ACROBAT 9 PRO -- but i'm running in to problems.
ideally i would like to just open the PPT file in POWERPOINT, and use the "convert to Adobe PDF" menu command. however, when i do this the resulting PDF does not have the flash videos -- where they should appear all i get is white space on the page. and i do have "convert multimedia" checked on in the settings dialog.
i have also tried re-creating the PPT within ACROBAT by using TOOLS | MULTIMEDIA | FLASH TOOL. that does indeed work, but then when i play the resulting PDF file, it takes forever for ADOBE READER to actually start the flash video. even on relatively fast computers, a flash file that takes less then 5 seconds to load in POWERPOINT will take 30+ seconds in READER. that's unacceptable -- and it's even worse on older, slower computers.
any ideas on how i can get the direct conversion to work, or how i can speed up the PDFs i'm creating from scratch?

i just create a blank page and then use the flash tool to insert the file. i'm using all the default settings. the flash files themselves are created with a tool called Xcelsius ( http://www.sap.com/solutions/sap-crystal-solutions/dashboards-visualization/index.epx ).

JRC for Eclipse 2.0: Export to PDF with Flash Objects in RPT file

Hi,
We've a few reports created with Flash objects in it ( from Xcelsius). We are trying to generate the reports and export it to PDF using the new JRC for Eclipse 2.0. The exported file size is big ( 600MB) but there is no flash object or data in it. Can you please help us with this one?
Thanks,
Bala

Hi, Ted. Thanks for looking into this.
I asked a similar question last September in this [thread|CR report with embedded SWF: Export to PDF displays nothing;. It's my understanding that exporting flash objects to pdf is not support in CR 2008.
In CR 2008, when I export a report containing a swf to pdf, the flash file is not rendered in Adobe Reader. It looks like there's just a picture. In fact, in CR, if you r-click on the swf and do Format Flash... | Flash, you can change the picture used for export and printing. The default picture is what I'm seeing in the pdf.
I'm creating the swf using Xcelsius 2008. In XC 2008, if I export to pdf, the flash object is rendered. Why the difference?
The same Adobe reader is being used in both cases.
I'd be glad to send an .rpt with embeded swf for you to test.
Thanks again.

Problem Creating PDF with Multiple Files in Pro. 7

I'm using Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 on a computer with Windows XP.
The problem is that when I try to create a PDF with multiple files everything just suddenly stops. There are 75 files involved and when it gets to around 41 or so (don't know the exact number because I turned away from my computer for just a moment), it just stops. There are no error messages; nothing. Just a blank Acrobat screen.
Last week I had a different problem which was resolved by an uninstall/reinstall and I was able to create the PDF with those exact same 75 files, but after the PDF was created I realised that some changes needed to be made. I dumped the PDF, made the appropriate changes and left it for the weekend. Today I the new problem has arisen.
Any ideas what the problem might be?

I've read many discussions about Acrobat and problems with server files, with the general solution being what you are doing... copy the files to a local hard drive

Fail to print pdf with flash(updated)

Hi, all,
I open a pdf with flash in adobe reader.
I want to print it, but it doesn't get the result as what I see in adobe reader.
It seems that the flash has an animation, and the printer capture the image before the animation is finished.
Did I post the discussion in the right forums?
And if you need more information, tell me please.
Thanks

You asked in the correct forum, but it appears that no-one knows the answer.
I know that there were some problems printing Flash content, but I do not know how Flash Player integrates into Adobe Reader - if it uses the installed plugin, or if it uses its own plugin.

White screen with flashing file icon with question mark mean

What does this mean. We are getting a white screen with flashing file icon with question mark inside the file.

It almost certainly means it can't find a bootable volume (one with OS X on it).
Which means most likely you will have to find your original system installation DVD and install it. Then you should figure out what caused the problem.
Read this to diagnose it before resorting to reinstalling the OS:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440
Excerpt:
Additional steps
If your Mac still starts to a flashing question mark, follow the steps below. If any step resolves the issue, you don't need to continue to the next one.
Select your Mac OS X startup disk with Startup Manager by restarting and holding the Option key. After your Mac starts up, restart again to verify that the flashing question mark does not appear.
If the issue persists, insert your Mac OS X installation disc. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc.
MacBook Air note: On a MacBook Air, there are two options for starting up from Mac OS X media: Either connect a MacBook Air SuperDrive to the MacBook Air via the USB port and restart the computer, holding down the C key during startup, or use Remote Install Mac OS X to startup from a system software DVD that's located on a partner computer. Once started up from Mac OS X media, skip to step 3.
Restart the computer, then hold the C key during startup.
From the Utilities menu, choose Disk Utility. Don't click Continue.
Select your Mac OS X disk (named "Macintosh HD" by default) in the left side of the Disk Utility window.
Click the First Aid tab.
Click Repair Disk to verify and repair any issues with your Mac OS X startup disk.
After repairing the disk, try to start up normally.
Important: If Disk Utility finds issues it cannot repair, you may need to back up as much of your data as possible (or use Time Machine to back up to a different disk), then erase the disk and reinstall Mac OS X. You should back up important files and data before erasing a drive. Erasing deletes everything on the hard disk (including things on your desktop). Also, you can install Mac OS X onto an external disk, start from the external disk, and use Migration Assistant to transfer items from your usual internal Mac OS X startup disk to the external disk, then erase the internal disk and reinstall Mac OS X.
If the issue persists, and Disk Utility didn't find any irreparable issues, quit Disk Utility, quit the Installer, select your disk when prompted, and restart.
If the issue continues, reset PRAM. Note: After resetting PRAM, if the computer starts up normally, reselect the startup disk in the Startup Disk preferences.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, start up from the Mac OS X Installation disc and reinstall Mac OS X.

Got a white screen with flashing file icon

Why do I have a white screen with flashing file icon with question mark inside?

It means your iMac cannot located a valid system to boot.
Insert the CD that came with the iMac and allow it to boot. Once it gets the point where it's offering to install the OS, go to the top menu and choose diskutility. Perform a repair on the main drive "Macintosh HD".

Insert PDF with Flash into another PDF and it does not display.

When attempting to insert an Adobe Acrobat file with flash elements into another Adobe Acrobat file, the latter will not display the file on screen. Instead it shows this message "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat X or Adobe Reader X, or later." Please help.

Yes I would have thought so. Adobe Acrobat and Reader have the ability to view flash content items however this is not the case. I will explain step by step what I am doing. I have done this for years before and I have recently formatted my computer and had to reinstall the software.
Here is a little background information:
System:
Windows 7 Professional 64bit
AMD-FX 4100 Quad Core CPU
8GB RAM
250GB free on HDD
Software Installed:
Adobe Acrobat X Pro
Adobe Reader XI
Adobe Flash 17.0.0.134
Microsoft Office Home and Business 2010
Steps taken:
Open Outlook
Select a few messages
Click on Convert to Adobe PDF
Save the new file "toInsert.pdf"
Open "main.pdf" file
Click and drag "toInsert.pdf" file from desktop into the thumbnail area of the "main.pdf" file to insert.
Attached Error. Please advise. Thank you.

Pdf with audio files embedded - Acrobat Pro 8 vs Acrobat Reader XI - suggestions?

Hi, I have a problem with a pdf (containing embedded audio files) created with Acrobat Pro 8.
So, two questions for you.
1) When I open it with Acrobat Reader XI, the audio files won't be reproduced.
Windows 7 and 8 tell me that there is a codec problem.
Finding the right codec seems to be very hard (looking on the previous threads in this forum I found some links to websites offering codec packs, but when you download them it seem they start offering many other things to download, and this stresses a lot).
Any other suggestions?
2) The other question is kind of reverse of the first one: if I create a pdf with Acrobat XI, will an Acrobat Reader 8 or 9 be able to open it and listend to the audio files???
Thank you,
aliB

Dear Pat,
I try to write it again.
Unfortunately installing Flash doesn't solve the problem on Windows 7 and 8 (on the XP it works).
Kind regards

Problem with Flash file in IE

Hello Everyone,
I have a strange problem and I'm not sure exactly what it is.
I have a 1.5 Joomla site with this module in it
<object height="20" width="1035">
<param name="movie" value="LEDDisplayTicker-1040.swf" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param value="high" name="quality" /> <embed height="20" width="1035" wmode="transparent" src="LEDDisplayTicker-1040.swf"></embed> </object>
The site works fine in Chrome, FireFox and Safari but when it is viewed with IE I get an error and the page closes ( you have to surf through a few pages).
I know it is the above module because if I turn it off, the site works fine in IE.
The flash file imports and displays info from an XML file and the XML file reads from google finance.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Todd

Do the flash communicate with files which is outside of the sitedomain?

Can't open PDF with flash after upgrade Reader 10.1.5 and Flash player 11.5.502.146

We rolled out Reader 10.1.5 and Flash 11.5.502.146 [Windows 7] this week and discovered that one can not view a PDF containing Flash content.
We receive the message "To view the Flash Technology content in this PDF file, please install the required version of Flash Player".
According to the Adobe Reader Blog "As mentioned in Three Common Adobe Reader and Acrobat Security Questions, unknown Flash will now be rendered by the system Flash Player (NPAPI version), when using Adobe Reader and Acrobat 10.1.5. Note: This has already been done for Reader and Acrobat 11. As stated before, this means that Adobe Reader/Acrobat users will no longer have to update Adobe Reader/Acrobat each time we update the Flash Player."
How could we resolve the problem?

See if anything in this topic helps: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1136468

Interaction with Flash files

Hi,
Whats the easiest way to interact with a flash file from flash builder?
I wish to change the speed of a tween in a flash file based on a value set in flash builder.
Do you have to do make my flash file a component? .. Could someone point me in the direction of building components in flash builder?
Thanks
Aidan

The multi-SCO intro video shows it packaging Flash and Dreamweaver as single SCOs and they are both part of Adobe's e-learning suite.
I know Flash has learning elements and Dreamweaver has the course builder extension but I need to package Flash with no learning elements. I have the content of a couple of dozen courses in Flash and I can build the quiz easily enough.
Is there anything that can package up a single Dreamweaver (with embedded Flash) as a single SCO in the same way that the SCORM runtime wrapper used to do before it became out of date?

Exporting Interactive PDF with MP4 File

I am trying to export a file from InDesign for work. We send out daily email with PDFs from InDesign and would like to include from training videos. How can we include the MP4 format video so we can watch them in the PDF we send out. I've read through the Interactive PDF guides and forums. A still image of the first frame of the video appears, we can't get it to play.
Thanks!
Adam

While including an MP4 video is good if you know the recipient is using Acrobat/Reader on a desktop computer, the content may or may not work on a tablet or smartphone. I'd go with Wilhelm's suggestion of providing a link.

Reader not showing pdf with long file names in IE8 for standard user

Hi,
I have this problem for standard users, that is, not Admin level. Admin level users have no problems.
If a web site opens up a pdf file with java, usually in a new window, and the file name is very long (I haven't figured out how long, but visually long) then the reader plug-in won't work and opens a blank page. If the file name is small then there is no problem, and reader opens the pdf without problem.
Interestingly, if I edit the document name (say for example the link has something on the end like "&Doc_Type=Statement" which is obviously not part of the document name but part of the SQL used to find the document by the web page) then reader will open the file no problem.
Again, this doesn't happen for Administrative level users.
Any ideas on how to fix?

I'll crosspost to the reader forum.
Yes, reader works in all other situations.
