Adobe removes Flash components from Reader, Acrobat

New Delhi: Adobe has officially bid goodbye to Flash player in the latest release of its Reader and Acrobat PDF products, along with fixing several critical security flaws.

The removal of various Flash components in the Reader and Acrobat November 2020 Release are listed as “top new features”.

“Flash is now deprecated and no longer used in its Acrobat DC desktop app,” reports ZDNet.

Adobe said that the Flash-dependent forms options have been replaced with a ‘secondary toolbar’ containing action buttons to Update, Add, Delete, Export, and Archive those Form responses.
