Dear all,

I have opened one of my pdfs in Acrobat and klicked on a Flash object. PDF gives me this advice:

For some of the flash objects I want to present in pdfs I do not have a source, from which I could produce something else. And an object like the Swiss Railway Clock can not be replaced by a video (but by Java, JavaScript etc.)

Do you know of any converters Flash → ... which provides a format suitable for pdf embedding?

    ... on a tangent here... when one inserts a mp4 file in FM, and publishes it as pdf - Acrobat needs Flash to play it. I wonder how that will work post 2020? ...

    Hi Klaus,

     

    I do not know, if this helps.

    In Wikipedia there are some alternatives listed:

    https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Flash#Alternativen 

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Flash#Alternatives 

    (The English version has different content than the German version.)

     

    Best regards
