Adobe has owned flash for a long time, over 10 years,
I only made my comment about flash not for pdf, because there was a comment about what to do about pdf, and for me there has never been a correlation between Flash and PDF, Adobe's PDF desktop publishing goes back to the early days of the Macintosh pc, and was the number 1 reason for corporate use of the Mac, and by many writers along with Adobe Illustrator for creating drawings it was the start of the revolution in word proscessing moving the job from dedicated mini computer systems with numerous terminals to desktop pc's, smaller business could now create, manuals and other documents in house, then send it to the print shop, instead of using consultant to take the info and notes and create a draft that would be sent to the printer, of course a new layer of proof reading was needed, to look for typos and mistakes
