You must use Acrobat Pro 2020 or Acrobat Pro DC in a newer version than February 2020

It's pro dc version 2020.006.20042.

So does that mean I have to buy a new version? Or i can just update it?

Hi there

 

You dont need to purchase the new version, As you have the Acrobat Pro DC (Continuous track), Please go to Help menu of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC and click 'Check for updates' to update the application to the newest version and reboot the computer once. 

You may also download the patch manually from the link https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/ReleaseNotesDC/index.html

Hi Shivani

 

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described the audio in the PDF file doesn't play

 

- Would you mind sharing the workflow/steps you did to create the PDF from PPT? Are you saving to PDF or save as Adobe PDF? Please try to create the PDF using the Acrobat ribbon in the tool bar at the top and see if that helps.

 

- What is the format of the Audio file embedded? You can play the following types of multimedia in PDFs created using Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Acrobat Reader or earlier:

Video

Includes MOV, M4V, 3GP, and 3G2 video files that use H.264 compression. It also includes MP3, and MP4 files. You must have H.264 codecs installed on your computer to play files that use H.264 compression. For more information please checkout the help pages listed below:

- https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/supported-file-formats-acrobat-reader.html#main_Video_formats__Acrobat_DC_Pro_

 

- What happens when you try to play the video in PDF file? Do you get any error message? If yes , please share the screenshot of the same for a better understanding.

 

Also make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat DC installed. Go to Help > Check for Updates and reboot the computer

 

We are here for help, just need more information.

I have a similar problem.

I want to save a pptx as a pdf, with animations included.

After saving the pdf file and clicking on the play button for the animation, nothing happens and a yellow warning comes up, telling me i need to install flash player. But from what i understand, flash player has been made obsolete?

of course, in the preferences I have enabled 3d and multimedia, etc.

Type video files were originally .avi files, but then powerpoint converts them to something else  (i presume).

Please tell me what i need to do to get this working proerly?

 

Above you said, make sure you have latest version ("Help > Check for Updates"), but i have no option for "check for updates".

Another thing, when i try to "sign in" via acrobat, it tells me that my internet browser and windows is not sufficiently up to date, but the software (bowser and win10) tell me that they are the latest versions.... i'm being sent round in circles!
