Question

Animate and PDF

Does anybody know if I'll be able to use shockwave flash files from Animate in Adobe PDF documents after the end of the year.  I have a boatload of interactive (mostly stop and continue) animations I currently place in PDF training books.  Wondering how I'm going to create these books if flash goes away.  Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Rick

    Appreciate your taking the time to respond.  Needless to say, I'm looking for an alternative workflow.  The link you refer to says:

    Converting Office or HTML to PDF with embedded rich media (non-Flash content) will continue to be supported.

    Animate makes HTML5 animations but not without Java.  Does anybody know if there is there a way to add these html/java animations into a PDF?  The alternativeI have at this point is to make the animations in PowerPoint and hand out my source files.  I don't likee the alternative, but at least I won't have to pay for an Adobe subscription anymore. . . .

    Animate HTML5 animations do not require Java.
