Can anyone help!!!

As you know flash will be discontinued at the end of 2020. We need to play films within a PDF offline - what are you going to put in place regarding Adobe reader so that this will work?

I have presentations we have developed in PDF. They have films embedded in them. They need to work offline. Flash is no longer being supported by Adobe and will be discontinued in 2020. What can we do?

Thanks

You can still use your PDFs, but you can't upgrade your Reader to a newer version. As long you're using your computer just offline this be no problem.

Hi Radzmar.

Thanks for your answer but it doesn't really help because even the old versions of Reader use flash to play embedded film clips.

Do you or anyone else know how we can continue to play film clips in Reader (offline) when flash becomes discontinued?

Thanks

Best
