Question

Installing Flash Player breaks PDF Portfolio

We are running Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 11 on current patch versions. We also regularly push out the Flash player updates (NPAPI and ActiveX ) through SCCM.

This month, when we distributed 19.0.0.226, we had some users getting a popup from Acrobat indicating that Flash player was not installed. But both NPAPI and ActiveX show up in the Uninstall or change a program list.

When the prompts are followed and they reinstall NPAPI from the dialogs, the content is now displayed.

But we would like to prevent this in the future. Is there something we are doing wrong?

Thank you.

Hi dotjko,


Flash Player installation shouldn't interfere with Acrobat.  I'll need some info from you to investigate further:

  • Are other browsers, besides IE, installed on the systems?  If so, which browses (including version)?
  • What version of Acrobat is installed?
  • Is Acrobat Reader also installed?  If so, which version?
  • Screenshot of the prompts to install Flash Player (see How to post a screenshot in the forum)

Thank you.
