Note:
This document provides instructions for Acrobat XI. If you're using Acrobat DC, see Acrobat DC Help.
You need Flash Player to view Flash content in PDFs, PDF Portfolios, and other features. Adobe Reader and Acrobat no longer include Flash Player, and features that require Flash now leverage the machine’s local copy of Flash. This new strategy allows users and administrators to manage Flash Player updates independently of Acrobat product updates.
- Right-click and download the Flash Player installer:
- For Windows 8.x or 10: Flash Player Plugin
