I have made an interactive pdf file from Indesign where my photos change state when selecting bullets. When I open this file in Acrobat it does not work. Might be a Flash thing but why have it in the software if it does not work with Acrobat Reader.

Flash has been dead for years and most interactivity that depended on it won't work anymore. Beyond very basic navigation, these things need to be avoided. If you want this type of interactivity look into fixed layout epub or Adobe's Publish Online.

If you want to provide more detail on how you set this up, we might be able to offer some help.

Yes I would like help because I am trying to make this as easy as it can be for my customers to see this interactive file. I would like to make a file easy to access with out having to upgrade or download new software to see file.

You have told us nothing about this project except that it doesn't work. We need real details or we can't help at all.

Some functionality does not work with pdf and Acrobat. Those functionality will work with HTML5, Publish Online and EPUB.

Flash is not supported.

Yeah that is what I figured. So all of my customers use Adobe Acrobat on P.C. computers. So how do I get them to use Publish when opening this file. Would rather just have Adobe fix Flash, how many years have they been fighting this now.
