When Adobe Reader is closed at the end of this year will that mean that visitors to my website will no longer be able to view my pdf files?

    To clarify, modern Acrobat and Acrobat Reader are NOT going away.  They have nothing to do with Flash Player.

    You are right (about the software!) Both are free apps from Adobe, but only Flash Player is going away.

    Mmm, I think I have just answered my own question! I was looking at the Flash Player thinking that this accommodates pdf's. I should have been looking at Acrobat Reader! I had a senior moment 🙂
    Panic over, I think!
