How to convert Adobe Presenter PDF into video (w/o Flash)?

Dear Adobe Community,

My colleagues and I have just published several presentations via Adobe Presenter 10 as "Adobe PDF", which we have made available in our company's intranet.

However, some colleagues in other countries cannot open the files as they seem to require Flash Player that was uninstalled in those countries (and cannot be installed again).

Thus I would like to know if there are any options to convert the Adobe Presenter PDF files into any other format, e.g. a video format, that does not require Flash Player and keeps our voice recordings.

I would be very grateful to receive any kind of help as I'm completely desperate to somehow solve this issue.

Thank you very much in advance!

Kind regards,
Patrick

When publishing to PDF, Flash is the only option.

If you need a non-flash version, you will need to use the Publish to My Computer and use the HTML5 format. Then the presentation can be uploaded to a server of your choosing and viewers can watch through a provided link.

If needed, users can be given the output file and launch the index.htm file to watch the presentation if delivery from a web server is not possible.

Thank you flyingj481 for this suggestion!

However, when clicking on the resulting index.htm file the presentation will not start, please see the following screenshot:

Do you have any idea how to solve this?

Is there no way to convert the Adobe PDF files into a non-Flash format?

Kind regards,
Patrick

PDF can only be Flash.

You need to ensure that all of the published files get to the user. If any of the output files are missing it will not play correctly.

Also, that loading screen is for the Flash version of the presentation. The HTML loading page is white. Make sure you publish just as HTML. I'd also recommend you use the option to publish as a zip file, so you have something that can be easily distributed.
