Which versions of Acrobat reader supports embedded Flash content?

I was wondering which versions of Acrobat supports Flash files (or Flash content) that might be found embedded within PDF files?
Specifically, does version 6, 7 or 8 have this capability?

The wikipedia entry for Adobe Acrobat says this regarding Acrobat reader version 9:
"Insert FLV (Flash) or H.264 video for direct playback in Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader."
The way I read that, it says that the ability to handle pdf files with embedded flash content was introduced with Acrobat reader version 9, and did not exist in earlier versions of Acrobat reader.
So are you sure that older Acrobat reader versions (specifically, version 6) is capable of correctly handling flash content embedded within a pdf file?

  • PDF Forms - Which versions of Acrobat / Reader do they work in?

    I'm trying to persuade a client to start using pdf forms that I've created in the latest Adobe Acrobat Pro.
    I've tested the forms using Adobe Reader 8 & 9 on the Mac. The two versions work differently but I've come up with a work-around solution that means I can give the same advice to users of both versions of Reader.
    But I could do with knowing if pdf forms work in earlier versions of Acrobat / Reader? Macs & PCs?
    And if they don't work, what sort of warning will come up on screen? Ie. Will it say that they need to upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader and give a link? - which would be good! Or will some other error message come up that will just cause confusion?
    Has Adobe published any advice anywhere?

    The Forms Creation where you use filliable forms that can be saved and attached to email, (500 returns max - using the Advanced > Extend Features in Reader). Works also in version 7 or reader. Nothing below 7 will work.

  • Which versions of Adobe Reader/Acrobat are affected by the Win32/Pdfjsc.AMJ Exploit?

    I have a user that tried to open a PDF file that contained the Win32/Pdfjsc.AMJ Exploit, and I'm wondering which versions of Adobe Reader and Acrobat are affected by it. I would also like to know what this exploit is capable of doing if the versions she was using are affected. The versions of Acrobat/Reader that her workstation have are Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.5.5 and Adobe Reader 11.0.0.7.
    Thanks,
    Ben

    Thank you Sabian, it was difficult to find  Win32/Pdfjsc.AMJ and CVE-2013-2729 in the same paragraph, but ended up deciding that they correlate with each other and this article does cover those vulnerabilities. I appreciate your reply. Since I try very hard to keep my patches up to date it appears that we were not affected by this vulnerability.
    So off topic - do you prefer Sabian or Zildjian cymbals?

  • Adobe Reader cannot play embedded Flash content

    I don't know why, the Flash format was originally created by Macromedia, and then Adobe acquired the company, but the Adobe Reader cannot display Flash content.
    My PDF file is here:
    http://genifer.googlecode.com/files/agi-book.pdf
    Scroll to page 37.
    The original SWF file is here:
    http://genifer.googlecode.com/files/unified-AND-OR.swf
    which *can* be played on my Chrome browser.
    But when I embedded the SWF file in the PDF, the result is unplayable.
    A clue is:  Adobe Reader asked me to download QuickTime to display media contents.  So I downloaded QuickTime.  But QuickTime nowadays has removed Flash support.  Why did Adobe Reader ask me to download QuickTime to display Flash, when Adobe owns the Flash format?
    I have also tried selecting other media players in the Reader's option box (eg, Windows Media, Windows built-in, Adobe Flash, etc) but none of them works.
    I have also tried using Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.  Same result.
    It seems to be a problem with Adobe Reader.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Adobe Reader most certainly CAN play embedded Flash content, but only if you embed it properly.
    You're seeing a Quicktime warning because you're embedding the SWF as "legacy media" content - this is no longer supported for authoring and is disabled by default for playback.You should use Rich Media Annotations instead (embedding using the multimedia/flash tool in Acrobat 9 or Acrobat X).

  • Issues with newer version of Acrobat Reader

    I'm not looking for advice or a fix for this problem. I'm simply posting it so that hopefully, the folks at Adobe will get a clue & take the issues with their software seriously. The real fix here is for them to quit ignoring bugs in their software and correct the code. Anyway...
    In the most recent versions of Acrobat Reader (looks like specifically to X & XI), it seems to be hit or miss as to whether Reader will open PDF attachments in Outlook email. Typically, when I double-click on a PDF attachment, nothing happens. An instance of AcroRd32.exe is created as a process (which hangs), but the PDF file doesn't open. If I make the mistake of double-clicking on the file again, another instance of AcroRd32.exe sucks up more of my system resources. This will occur for each time I double-click on the attachment. Sometimes I get lucky, and it will open the PDF file. Sometimes, if I right-click on the attachment and select open, it will do so. Most times, it just does the same thing as double-clicking.
    I've scoured the forums, searched online... Lots of people have reported this or similar problems. Solutions have been offered up, which don't work for most users. etc., etc., etc.
    It's just like the issue that Adobe has had for years with Acrobat - The software is notorious for remaining in memory as a process, long after you've closed the PDF file you opened. And likewise, for each PDF file you open, yet another instance of the software loads into & consumes memory.
    Adobe has had problems like this for years. They never have taken it seriously, they never choose to fix it.
    So, as I said in the beginning of the post - I'm not looking for a fix. I came up with my own fix - I deleted version XI, located an old copy of 9.4 & installed it.
    Nope, I'm not looking for solutions or support. I simply wanted to ***** about it.
    Doubt Adobe will even notice the post, and if they do, they'll just operate like they always have... Hope that their sloppy code just magically fixes itself.

    This is a user forum, and not the place to file bug reports to Adobe.  So you are right: your post won't be noticed by the Acrobat developers.  Nor would it give them enough information to reproduce the problem.
    P.S. I never had a problem opening Outlook attachments with Adobe Reader.  If I had, I would start by disabling Protected Mode, which is the most common cause for a multitude of problems in Adobe Reader.

  • "Redact blocks" available in which version of Acrobat?

    I need to decide which version of Acrobat to purchase for a very specific purpose that required the use of "Redact blocks" within the "Mark for redaction" menu.  From what I can gather, this is not available in the "Standard" versions, only in the "Pro" versions.  Is  this correct?  Is it available only in "Pro DC" or also in Acrobat XI Pro?  Thank you.

    Hi,
    The redaction tool is available in both Acrobat XI Pro and Acrobat Pro DC.

  • Is Acrobat Reader supported by Adobe on App-V?

    We are planning a desktop upgrade to Windows 8.1 with apps running on App-V, Is Acrobat Reader supported by Adobe on App-V?

    Hi Ralph,
    I can understand your concern & will guide you in the right direction.
    Adobe Acrobat Reader DC do not immediately support App-V with this base release. Support is expected in the coming months. However if its an older version of Adobe Reader, it will be working fine.
    In case if you have any further query please let us know, we will be happy to help you.
    Regards,

  • How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?

    How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
    I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document.  When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
    It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
    The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
    Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
    This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.

    it uses DDE or the command line to run an external application (e.g. Adobe Acrobat)

  • What is the earliest version of Acrobat that supports navigation buttons?

    My navigation button disappears in pdf. 
    (this happened when I enabled comments in an interactive PDF.
    What is the earliest version of Acrobat that supports navigation buttons?
    I can set the export of InDesign to match this version?
    For example, if I am on InDesign CS5 or 6, what export do your recommend.

    Ask in the Acro/ ID forums. Navigation requires PDF level 1.6 or 1.7, if I'm not mistaken, but beyond that I have no idea.
