Installing Content Grabber

Content Grabber is a Windows-based software application. Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows 2008 R2, Windows 2012 and Windows 2012R2 are the supported versions of Windows. While a Macintosh version is not available, a number of our users utilize Parallel's windows emulation software to successfully run Content Grabber.

Installing Flash

Flash is disabled in Content Grabber by default, and we recommend you keep it that way unless you have a specific need to run Flash. If a website interacts with a Flash component and is unable to display correctly without Flash, then you may need to install Flash, but that would be a very rare scenario.

 

To install Flash you must download the NAPI Flash player from the Adobe website.

After installing the NAPI Flash player, you must enable Flash in Content Grabber. You can do that from the Application menu by clicking Advanced Settings and then set the option Enable Flash to true. You will need to restart Content Grabber before this change takes effect.
