We currently rely on this feature, however we were informed that Adobe would be getting read of this feature in newcoming versions of Adobe.

Can anyone confirm or deny?

Correct answer Dov Isaacs

At Adobe, we'd really love to know exactly who informed you that Adobe would be getting rid of the PDF portfolio feature. That is absolutely not true!

 

What is true is that a feature of PDF portfolios that allowed Flash-based screen displays of a PDF portfolio was discontinued a while ago. However, all the functionality of the PDF portfolios in terms of file operations continue to be supported!

With Acrobat 9 and 10 you were able to “stylize” the appearance of the locations and presentation of the portfolios' files via Adobe Flash.

Acrobat DC can also "play" Portfolios that use Flash-based layouts but it cannot create them.
