Captivate Question Received via Email: What Is the Minimum Requirement for Opening PDFs?
I'm planning to use Captivate's ability to publish PDFs and deliver those PDFs to my users. What is the minimum Adobe Reader version my users will need to open the PDF? And will they also need the Flash Player?
Answer: Your users will need the free Adobe Reader 9 or newer. And since the newer Readers also include the Flash Player, your users will not need the Flash Player on their systems to open your Captivate PDFs and enjoy the video content. For that reason, I'm seeing more and more people deploy PDFs to users instead of SWFs.
