How to run Acrobat Reader with Flash? Possible?

Hi,

I need to view PDFs using Adobe Acrobat Reader (windows) with Flash.

Managed to install/run Reader on Crossover however when i try to open my PDF it will say that it needs to "Get Media Player" (which i assume is Flash) and then the app crashes.

I tried installing the Adobe Flash player into the same "bottle" which i installed Adobe Acrobat Reader - hoping maybe it will be able to reference it but no luck.

Can Adobe Acrobat Reader in Crossover use Flash at all?

thanks
Patrick

In theory what you did should work. I can think of 3 possible issues: Either "Media Player" refers to something else like Windows Media Player. I'm not aware of any interaction between Adobe Reader and Windows Media Player or Flash for that matter. There are also two(*) Flash Player versions: One for Internet Explorer (ActiveX), and one for Firefox (NSAPI). You may have installed the wrong one. It's also possible that a bug in CrossOver prevents this from working.

(*): There's a third version for Google Chrome which uses the Pepper API, but it is not available as a stand-alone download and distributed with Chrome.
