How to convert a Twitter thread that includes animated gifs

I've been using Threadreaderapp to turn threaded Twitter discussions into a single file.  Today I grabbed a thread that includes animated gifs.  Threadreaderapp will let me convert to pdf, but the animations don't work.  (It's entirely possible that I missed a setting in Acrobat or something.)

So this is a dumb question.  I have a CC subscription.  Which of the myriad Adobe apps should I use for this?  Any tips will be greatly appreciated.  If you want to see the thread, it's here.

Thanks,

Tony

PDF files do not support animated GIFs.

That was my guess (and experience).  I'm hoping that there is some miraculous Adobe product that will create some sort of file that includes text, images, and gifs.  FYI I have the embed code which works really well on my website.

Best, T

I do not know of any Adobe program dealing with twitter. But is is worth a question. I suppose, you would be more successfull with a small start-up, as Adobe is to « standard » to deal with such applications....

i don't know of any that convert twitter feeds.

you can open the pdf in acrobat and work with it there to see if you can fix the gifs but there's no automated setting.
