Railfan Technology > Adobe Flash Player End Of Life. What will the afterlife be like?Date: 12/13/20 18:23 Adobe Flash Player End Of Life. What will the afterlife be like? Author: tq-07fan OK. I've read this but still do not totally understanding what all it means. I feel like I have average Computer skills but I am just not understanding what all will happen with this Adobe Flash Player End Of Life thing. Also would like to know if I need to save or resave anything in a different way?
Adobe Flash Player EOL General Information Page The main thing is does this mean that if you have saved PDF files they will no longer be viewable? Jim Date: 12/13/20 18:56 Re: Adobe Flash Player End Of Life. What will the afterlife be li Author: cchan006 tq-07fan Wrote:

Adobe Flash technology mainly deals with web animation. This also includes movie playback. For those involved in web development going back more than 2 decades, Flash evolved from Macromedia Shockwave (remember those?) I'll spare the details for now, but file extensions SWF and FLV are what's associated with Flash. New standard for web animation has taken over, HTML5, so Flash, which was a "de-facto" standard at the somewhat unorganized beginning of the "Internet Age" is now obsolete. Your PDF files are safe for the time being. Date: 12/14/20 04:49 Re: Adobe Flash Player End Of Life. What will the afterlife be li Author: trainjunkie Good riddance to Flash. Horrible bloatware.

And what if I am on Windows XP?

Uninstalled Flash a couple days ago. Trainorders is great because there are definitely some people who really know computers and everything about them.
