Which Adobe product should be use to create interactive presentations?

We have an interactive presentation that we developed for a client a few years ago in Flash. The client is concerned that Jobs has hurt the future of Flash as a development tool. Is there another Adobe product that we should switch to or is Flash still the premier product? Note: I need something sophisticated enough to do complex animations (many moving parts with masks). Play back has to look good with possible auto and video intergration. At the moment mobile/tablet is not an issue but may be desired in the future.

Two primary considerations, IMO.
1. If the product is already developed in Flash, and still works fine for all target devices, and maybe just occasional/simple updates are needed here and there..
2. If mobile delivery of the product is not at all required.
Then stick with Flash.
BUT if mobile is going to be a targeted platform, or the product needs a significant revision, then consider another approach.
Tools like Adobe Captivate, Articulate Storyline, and Trivantis Lectora are solid tools for creating HTML5 (mobile-compatible) content...but since HTML5 support and the spec itself are still evolving, there are certainly more limitations on animation, interactivity, etc.
So the longer you can hold out updating the product to HTML5, using whatever tool you prefer, the better...but on the other hand, balance that against the efforts and updates you put into a Flash-based project that's likely going to have a limited future.

  • Which Adobe product should I use ?

    Hi!
    I'm going to generate, merge and put a waterstamp on PDF's. I want to do that from C# code on a 64-bit server. There is no need for a GUI.

    Hi Wiggur!!
    All you said is possilbe by creating Actions in Acrobat X. That will be a silent process and will do everything automatically. Installation of Acrobat on servers depends on the license that you purchase. But certainly you can do that. That will be a silent process and you can call those actions by any programming language, i guess!

    Thanks so much.  I downloaded Acrobat XI.  It's been "extracting" for the past 30 minutes (even with a fast wi-fi).  Hope this is not a problem.

  • Which Oracle products should we use?

    We are looking to build, from the ground up, a site that is roughly a combination of www.kudzu.com and www.accessatlanta.com. Which Oracle products would help us best develop, test, and implement a similar solution.
    The primary confusion for me is whether the Portal product would be a good fit, or whether some other product(s) would be better.
    Many thanks in advance for any and all input.

    First, thank you VERY much for your reply. This post has received lots of views but no comments until yours. I appreciate your taking the time to offer a bit of advice and assistance.
    If I understand correctly, you're suggesting developing the whole thing using J2EE rather than a product like Oracle Portal. I assume we would still be able to deploy using components of Oracle Application Server. Is this correct?
    Ultimately, this portal website will be very database centric. All of the ads, listings, content, etc., would have to be stored and managed using a database. Would using J2EE be the most effective way to accomplish that?
    I'm sorry if I seem a bit of a newbie. I know enough that I want to use Oracle technology, but not enough to know which products. Essentially, I'm the guy with the idea and I need some assistance figuring out the products so I know which product expertise to look for when hiring the right technical staff.
    If you have any additional thoughts, please share. In the meantime, thanks again for your response.

  • What Adobe Products Should I use? I am making a mobile game similar to Flappy Bird.

    It is not going to be a Flappy Bird remake but it will be a simple game like it.

    This is the link for info re using Encore CS6 with CC, updated for CC 2014 and the cloud desktop install.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/encore/kb/encore-cs6-installed-cc.html
    It has links for getting the library (which is not installed with Encore) and a workflow with CC versions.
    In the cloud desktop, assuming you have PR CC 2014 installed, you are looking for this:
    Your main problem may be getting Encore to work if you are using Mavericks or Yosemite.

  • What adobe product should I use on an Android tablet to view and edit maintenance drawings?

    I plan to provide our maintenance staff Android tablets with all our equipment documentation loaded in PDF format.  I would like for them to be able to note changes, corrections, additions, etc.  I would also like for them to be able to associate / link photos of the equipment with the appropriate documentation.  I am not sure what Adobe application will meet these requirements and hope someone can provide advice and suggestions.

    I'd like another player because I've had it with Adobe. I've spent hours and hours trying to get Shockwave & Flash to work after recent updates in those programs. I tested them out in Google Chrome, and still problems although fewer than in FF.
    What is going on with these products? Everytime I run an update of FF or Shockwave/Flash, everything gets screwed up!!

  • Which Adobe product should I buy?

    My last computer had an Adobe program that allowed me to insert pages into a document and reduce the file size.  Is there a product that can be added onto Reader XI that will allow me to do this and not spend $400.00?

    Hi imboj,
    Acrobat is the application that allows you to edit a PDF--including inserting pages and reducing file size. There's nothing that can be added on to Reader to give you that functionality. But, Adobe does offer subscriptions to Acrobat, so you can pay month-to-month or annually. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for details.

  • Wich software should I use to create a game??

    I'm sorry if I did not find answer to my question in the forum, but I don't understand so much english. I would like to create a game, and I'm searching for the software. could you help me? Thank you

    Hi I come back with my new username since a forum update.
    I find I have been well received, as -I ask for a Sun software and I am anwered with Dark Basic, and I ask clearly in my second post how to develop on mobile phones, and have been answered "You don't have the "right" to +complete+ initial post since you didn't tell everything in initial post.
    You. How are you receiving new developers. Do you really want to help users know how to use Oracle products, or do you want to make it as obscure as possible and chock.
    Now I precise, I was -when it was at an enhancement and growing people using it- how to have an editor -visual editor with drag'n drop facilities AND/OR a IDE, to publish on mobile phones using JAVA.
    I don't aim anymore to publish on phones since each new OS has its XNA, Apple or Chrome development tools, but I am amazed how user-friendly and respectful and full of kindness I have been recieved by 2 or 3 pople from the community. Is this forum moderated and can a moderator or administrator or a professional answer me? -> the question is in the title: Which software(s) should I use to create a game? I'm looking up evidently to Oracle-only downloadable products.
    Sincerely,
    Sylvain

    You can select 5 (or more images) and place them by dragging in Adobe InDesign. After creating document go to File > Place, navigate to images and select them. In InDesign start dragging and press right arrow key couple of times then release mouse button. You can export file as PDF, JPG, PNG image from File > Export.

    Which Adobe product can create a PDF that cannot be altered or printed by the recipient?

    Hi quoman,
    It sounds like you're asking how to add security to a PDF file. You'll need Acrobat Pro or Standard to do that. If you don't have Acrobat, you may try it for free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

  • Which jdbc driver should be used for sqlserver 2000 and where to put it.

    hi all,
    My odi is 11g. I met the error infor "Could not load JDBC driver class [com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver]" when i tried to connect to a sqlserver2000 database.
    The questions are:
    1. which jdbc driver should be used for sqlserver 2000?
    2. which folder to put it in?
    3. how to set the physical topological "Microsoft Sql Server" to use this jdbc driver?
    failed tries:
    i downloaded the driver "SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC Service Pack 2" and put it in the following folders:
    1. .../oracledi/drivers, and set this path to CLASSPATH.
    2. .../oracledi/userlib didn't exist, i created it and put the driver in.
    3. .../oracledi/agent/dirvers, in which a readme file exists and told me to put drivers in this folder.
    All these works were not useful. when I start odi.sh and try to connect to sqlserver2000 database, the same error infor came up.
    my environment is:
    os: Linux 2.6.18-164.el5 #1 SMP Tue Aug 18 15:51:48 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

    Hi,
    You should check which JVM version is required by that version of the driver, I think the 2.x versions require a 1.6 JVM
    What error are you getting? If it is the "com.sunopsis.sql.c: No suitable driver", it indicates it can't find the jar file (sqljdbc.jar) for the driver you specify.
    Drivers folder in ODI 11g is under
    C:\oracle\product\11.1.1\Oracle_ODI_1\oracledi\agent\drivers.
    if you are using the standolone version
    On windwos :
    C:\Documents and Settings\<userName>\Application Data\odi\oracledi\userlib
    on linux
    $HOME/.odi/oracledi/userlib
    Have a read of :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/core.1111/e16453/install.htm#CHDBIFAJ

  • Which file type should I use and how I use it?

    Hello!
    I need to create a file with some data that has been inserted manually.
    In this file, for example, there are:
    ProjectName1: string1, string7… string10, date1
    ProjectName2: string11, string15… string20, date2
    ProjectNamek: string 100, string 116 … string 140, date1
    I know only one thing: one of the strings.
    What I need to find in the file:
    I need to find the string at one of these rows and get its ProjectName and date.
    For example: if I have string15,
    I should find string15 in the file, and get its ProjectName and date:
    ProjectName2, date2
    Which file type should I use and how I use it? What is the best solution?
    Thanks!

    (ie:
    1. ProjectName always starts the line and ends with a ':'.
    2. The rest of the strings on the line are separated by ", " and will never contain ", "
    you might also want to have a look at String.split().
