PDF Portfolio file made with Acrobat 11can't be edited in Acrobat DC

We have created with Acrobat 11 pdf portfolio files. They include 4 seperate pdf files, shows the cober pages in the portfolio and on the main portfolio page we have a logo - featuring our corporate design.

Now the logo needs to be changed on the portfolio main page. It's like a header line with the logo.

But now we have Acrobat DC and I don't find the menues for editing portfolio header.

I read in some forums that maybe the Acrobat 11 had more options round about portfolios like the DC.

Is that true? Are with the latest DC version the function for editing portfolios reduced?

Or is there a hidden menue where I can get the functions.

The portfolio feature user interfaces were based on Flash. As you probably know, use of Flash is being deprecated everywhere and unless one has Flash installed, display of the Flash-based portfolio UIs in Acrobat/Reader is gone and furthermore, the ability to create or edit existing portfolio interfaces is now removed from Acrobat. (There is no hidden menu, sorry!)

You will have to install Acrobat XI to edit the portfolios. Maybe you have a back-up or older computer with it? As stated, the features are gone from DC.

Ok - I'll try to get the Acrobat XI to do the changes on older files.

I think for new files it will be the best to use the portfolio functions of the Acrobat DC.

Thanks for your help

I just installed the latest Adobe Flash Player Version and tried it again - but it don't work with my Acrobat DC Version - I can't see the portfolio edit menu. Is there a Special Flash Version available? What must I do to edit exising Portfolio Header with my Acrobat DC?
I really appreciate a "How To" on this.

Thanks
