    Yes, it's confusing but PDF has no connection to Flash Player. For PDF, Adobe make Acrobat Reader, which is not going away.

    PS Multimedia (videos, sounds) in some old PDF files might be affected.

      Any guidance on how we can now open & CONVERT old documents recently found (2014 and earlier) PDF files that we believe have embeded Flash Audio?

      If you have access to the indesign files you can export to publish online instead of .pdf.
