I have a Macbook 10.13.6. I have been unable to open PDF portfolios that I created a year ago. It keeps telling me to download flashplayer. I go to the Adobe site, I download and install yet there is nothing. Nothing happens and I still can't open the flashplayer. Yet during the downloads there are no problems. However I can't seem to find the flashplayer on the computer. It is all very strange and I have to access my portfolios yet they will not open without the flashplayer. Please anyone can insist. I am trying to open with Safari. Thank you please for any help you can give me...

Acrobat requires Flash Player NPAPI plugin (for Firefox/Safari). To download the appropriate plugin go to https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/flash-player-needed-acrobat-reader.html
However I can't seem to find the flashplayer on the computer.
Flash Player is browser plugin and is only utilized by browsers and other apps, such as Acrobat, that require it. Since it's a browser plugin, it's saved to the Plug-ins directory, not Applications directory.

Hi Maria, I went to that exact website to download the flashplayer. I download it and it seems to be in the internet plugin folder however still when I try to open my PDF folders from a year ago they come up black and none of the content or paintings are in the PDF? I don't know what to do next? I am really stuck...:((

If Flash Player installed without error, it installed correctly. To double-check that the correct NPAPI plugin is installed, go toSystem Preferences > Flash Player > Updates tab. If you see NPAPI with a version listed, it's installed.

This sounds like an issue with the PDF itself and not Flash Player. I recommen posting to the Acrobat commuty for your product (Acrobat or Reader) for further assistance with viewing PDF files that have Flash content:
