Publish to PDF

[richard_r1]

So I publish a captivate project to PDF

I can open this and see it in Adobe DC. No problem

I send this PDF document to colleagues using variously Acrobat reader versions 9 to 11 as an attachment and everyone sees only a blank white page???

I don't understand how a perfectly good looking document (on my machine) is useless on other machines

Help

They have to install the Flash player, it is no longer embedded in Adobe Reader. An interactive pdf needs both Flash and Adobe Reader.

Thanks

makes sense - shame about laptop battery life though

??? what is link with battery life

[richard_r1]

Flash runs continuously and drains battery life - apparently why Apple hates Flash (or just adobe in general)

We have tried downloading flash and this is not working. Next step we are going to download Adobe DC and see if that fixes it.

I have DC and use flash a fair bit on Oracle BI applications for graphing. My Quiz works fine on my machine and on my Mac at home

I've never noticed any detriment to battery life on any of my laptops over the years. 

Perchance there were OTHER reasons why Apple didn't like Flash?  Such as for instance that it would have made it possible for mobile developers to build apps that just ran in the browser and didn't require going through the Apple store.

there are lots of reasons apple don't like anyone else many as you suggest...

been a mac user at home for years and pc at work, I prefer the mac but know it is their way or the highway

IT guys at work tell me flash is a laptop issue - they don't install it in laptop builds, though people are free to install it

I use flash in Oracle business, I haven't noticed a drag but it is likely not something a user would notice - and I imagine there are plenty of things installed on my laptop that are draining battery and network resources apart from adobe

Of adobe I am a fan and am currently learning Premier - that I much prefer to iMovie (I am coming back into the light)
