Due to a change in our client's IT infra structure we can no longer launch our Articulate materials. We need to convert these Articulate resources to Adobe Presenter. Saw a help page on this but couldn't make sense of it as it talked about a Conversion Dialog box, but we have never heard of these or know how to find them.
Unfortunately, I haven't worked with Adobe Presenter. I've heard a few things about the software, but I'm unsure how you would import a presentation from Studio products. Are you able to share the link you found regarding the import process? I've found information for importing Adobe into Articulate, but not the other way around. If you can share it, maybe I can take a look at it and see if I can help with the process.
I believe this is the section of the document you're referring to:
Open an Articulate Presenter file in Adobe Presenter
Files created in Articulate® Presenter can be opened and edited in Adobe Presenter. The original Articulate presentation is never modified; a copy of the presentation is converted and opened in Adobe Presenter.

The Articulate assets folder should be available along with the Articulate presentation file. Without the asset folder
and its contents, Articulate features cannot be imported into the presentation when it is opened in Adobe Presenter.
Adobe Presenter supports most Articulate Presenter data, including Flash, audio, and quiz information (as long as
the Articulate Presenter assets folder is available). The following Articulate Presenter features are not supported:
Learning Games, Engage Interactions, Insert Web Object.
Adobe Presenter does not support all Articulate Presenter question types. Unsupported questions are not imported
during the conversion process. A detailed log report (ConversionLog.log) is generated at the end of the conversion
process and provides details about the conversion, including any dropped questions.
Import a presentation created in Articulate Presenter
Files created in Articulate Presenter can be opened and edited in Adobe Presenter.
1 In PowerPoint, open a presentation (PPT or PPTX file) created in Articulate Presenter.
2 In the conversion dialog box, click Yes.
3 Choose a name and save location for the converted presentation.
4 (Optional) To view information in the conversion log file, click View Log. (You can also use Windows Explorer
at any time to view the log file. Navigate to the location you specified in step 3, right-click the ConversionLog.log
file, and select Open with > Notepad.)
5 After the conversion process finishes, click Close.
6 In Adobe Presenter, edit the new, converted file and add Adobe Presenter features as desired
Another Adobe article on this can be found here, but it provides the same information above.
It does sound like there's a step missing in that process, but without having access to the software, I can't really give you any suggestions on this. I'm honestly not sure what dialog they're referring to in this article. You may want to consider contacting their support, or requesting information on Adobe's support forums for some suggestions.

Hi David,
Unfortunately, I haven't worked with Adobe Presenter. I've heard a few things about the software, but I'm unsure how you would import a presentation from Studio products. Are you able to share the link you found regarding the import process? I've found information for importing Adobe into Articulate, but not the other way around.

Thanks!
Christine, no problems with this. Please find the Adobe Presenter pdf which describes the process:

good luck
