Question

Interactive PDF presentation with videos - solution for Flash?

  • July 8, 2020

We regularly create presentations in InDesign that contain a few videos and then export as an interactive PDF. With Flash going away by the end of the year, has Adobe come up with a viable solution?

 

I've been scouring online and not finding much. I hate using PowerPoint as there's limited fonts we can use (in a PC-based company), it frequently crashes our Macs and the file sizes are enormous.

Adobe, in the last month, made changes to Acrobat and Reader so that things can work without Flash. No news on whether InDesign makes PDFs that work in this world, but update and test. Please let us know what you find.

Thanks for your quick reply. Removed the option to use Flash, but still no luck. Works on the iPad (surprisingly!) but not using Chrome or IE on laptops. Any thoughts? Thanks

Hi there

 

We are sorry for the trouble. As described, you want to know the solution for end of Flash.

 

Adobe Reader and Acrobat no longer include Flash Player, and features that require Flash now leverage the machine’s local copy of Flash. This new strategy allows users and administrators to manage Flash Player updates independently of Acrobat product updates.

 

For more information please refer to the help articles listed below and see if that helps:

 

1. Adobe Flash Player needed for Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Acrobat Reader

2. Flash Player end-of-life (EOL) | Impact in Reader and Acrobat

 

Hope it will help

 

Regards

Amal

Bonjour à tous,

 

Nous utilisons la fonction d'intégration audio dans les PDF dans notre entreprise.

La lecture des PDF crée ne peut-être faite que si on possède Adobe Flash.

Autrement dit Flash est obligatoire pour lire ce tyepde contenu, mais comme Flash va disparaitre bientôt je voulais savoir si l'intégration audio aller être maintenu dans Acrobat, et si oui comment la lecture se ferait dans le futur.

 

Merci de votre aide.

 

Cordialement.

Quel version d'Acrobat ou Reader utilisez-vous pour tester? Pas "mis a jour" mais le numero comme 2016.434.34343. Merci.
