Acrobat SDK 9: how is AVAppOpenDialog a replaceable method in DMSIntegration sample?

When I try to replace the Open Dialog call in PluginImportReplaceAndRegister(void), the error received is: "Attempt to replace an unreplaceable selector" and indeed, it is not in the list of replaceable methods in the Core API reference. 
gcbAVAppOpenDialog = (void *)ASCallbackCreateReplacement(AVAppOpenDialogSEL, ECAVAppOpenDialog);  REPLACE(gAcroViewHFT, AVAppOpenDialogSEL, gcbAVAppOpenDialog);
However, the DMSIntegration sample replaces AVAppOpenDialog as follows:
ACCB1  ASBool   ACCB2   PluginImportReplaceAndRegister  ()
                // Create the replacement function callback(s)
                // Replace AVAppOpenDialog
                gcbAVAppOpenDialog  = ( void *)ASCallbackCreateReplacement(AVAppOpenDialogSEL, 
                                MyAVAppOpenDialog);
                REPLACE(gAcroViewHFT, AVAppOpenDialogSEL,  gcbAVAppOpenDialog);
Am I missing something or is the sample wrong?
Many thanks,
Evan

Hello,
Actually, I was using using Acrobat 9 SDK with Acrobat 8.  When I tried the same code with Acrobat 9, it worked so I assume the method was added to the replaceable list in version 9.
thanks,
Evan

  • How can I find out the screen size of the users moniter using the Acrobat SDK?

    How can I find out the screen size of the users moniter using the Acrobat SDK? I need to know how much sreen real estate that is available on the users moniter. Is there some call that I can make from the SDK to discover the maximun X and Y coordinates?
    Thanks,
    Gregory

    Currently, I am testing on multiple moniters and it is defaulting to the moniter designated as the #1 moniter. For our purposes, this is acceptable. Once the two documents have loaded, the user can move and re-size at will.

  • How to Use Acrobat SDK for Automation Using VB or Perl

    Hi Forum,
    I am a new bie, just 2 days old to acrobat and javascript, and I am basically a perl developer
    I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro,
    I downloaded Acrobat SDK, but i don't know what else to do further, how to use??
    I tried to start learning SDK, but no proper documents i found to learn and start using SDK,
    Please suggest some guide or documentation for start learning Acrobat SDK (Step by Step guide)
    Here with I have created a small script to merge two pdf
    // Create a new PDF document:
    var newDoc = app.newDoc();
    // Insert doc1.pdf:
    newDoc.insertPages({
    nPage : -1,
    cPath : "/d/sathish/1.pdf",
    // Insert doc2.pdf:
    newDoc.insertPages({
    nPage : newDoc.numPages-1,
    cPath : "/d/sathish/2.pdf",
    // Save the new document:
    newDoc.saveAs("/d/sathish/myNewDoc.pdf");
    My code is working fine and merging properly,
    Is there any way to execute this script through commandline or using some other scripting languages like perl or through VB
    My objective is to automate the merging process without any manual intervention, I don't want to open acrobat manually to execute this javacript, i want to automate that process too,
    Please suggest me which will be very helpful to me,
    Thanks in advance
    Thanks & Regards

    It is a big SDK and to learn its features requires a lot of reading. But to start with I guess I should start with "Introduction to SDK".
    Since you want to control Acrobat from another application you should consider this under "Interapplication communication". You will be using OLE/COM.

  • How to start with Acrobat SDK on Xcode?

    Hello,
    I'm a newer with acrobat sdk, does anyone know how to start and give me some commend for  good books.
    Does acrobat SDK 9 support Snow Leopard and Xcode 3.2?

    OK, I installed the savage driver package and ran (as root)
    X -configure
    I took the resulting xorg,conf.new to /etc/X11 as xorg.conf.
    When I startx as a user, the laptop screen stays black.
    When I run
    xdpyinfo
    I get
    unable to open display ""
    When I enable "startkde" in ~/.xinitcr, the KDED configuration dialog comes up, but in a poor resolution.
    In a way, X seems to work basically, but I suppose the resolution is at 640*480.
    At /var/log/xorg.0.log I can't find any errors (EE), just 3D warnings, which shouldn't bother.
    BUT..... it seems the X is taking mode 111 (640*480), but my 14" laptop would like 117 (1024*768).
    Can you tell me, where and how I can switch the resolution in X ? I read about the "Displaysize" in the Monitor Section, but I couldn't figure that out. The funny thing is, I have a second laptop running, with 1024*768 (vesa driver), and there is no DisplaySize in its Monitor section, but this machine is running at the correct resolution. Strange.

  • How to call GUI/Dialog in Acrobat sdk Plugin

    How to call GUI/Dialog in Acrobat sdk Plugin using VC++ here is my code
    ACCB1 void ACCB2 MyPluginCommand(void *clientData)
      HMODULE hAppInst = GetModuleHandle(NULL);
      DialogBox(hAppInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_DIALOG1), NULL, NULL);
      HWND hWnd = ::CreateDialog(hAppInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_DIALOG1), NULL, DlgProc);
      ::ShowWindow(hWnd, SW_SHOW);

    You can, with care, use Windows API calls in a plug-in. But you have to understand the process of loading resources. In particular, the calls you use try to load resources that belong to the main executable, which is Acrobat.exe. Plug-ins have their own instance handle, which is conveniently stored in gHINSTANCE. 
    In certain cases, especially modeless dialogs, there may be extra calls to make things work properly.
    You do need to know how to use the Windows API, and your sample lines seem confused, unless you intended to first display a modal dialog then open the same dialog as modeless. That's something for another forum,

  • How to install Acrobat SDK?

    Hello,
    Sorry for the stupid question, but I am really confused.
    I went to the Acrobat SDK website and downloaded the zip file for SDK X for windows and after unzipping I have found a folder structure with no clue where to begin.
    What do I need to install? Or should I just copy a certain dll somewhere?
    Probably there are instructions somewhere in the documentation files, but could someone point me where? I really do not know where to begin reading.
    A small overview of the folder structure (down to level 3) is as follows:
    Adobe \
         Acrobat 10 SDK \
              Version 1 \
                   AccessibilitySupport
                   Documentation
                   InterAppCommunicationSupport
                   JavaScriptSupport
                   OtherSupport
                   PluginSupport
    Thank you,
    Ionel

    It is a very good tip, but to be honest, the information in the Documentation folder is overwhelming.
    First of all there are two pdf files: pdf_reference.pdf (140 pages) and U3DElements.pdf (48 pages)
    Second there is a zip file Acrobat10_0_HTMLHelp.zip which contains around 3500 html files.
    Third there is a folder called Javascript that contains 5 other pdf files (batch_sequences.pdf, js_3d_api_reference.pdf, js_api_reference.pdf, js_developer_guide.pdf, Tracker.pdf)
    What should I start reading first and how far should I read in order to be able to install the SDK?

  • How to enable forms extenstion for adobe reader using Acrobat SDK?

    Adobe acrobat GUI tool  enables PDF forms designers to extend the use of Adobe Reader and allow the end user to save the PDF form locally using the Reader.
    Is it possible to do the same kind of fuctionality at run time on the server using Acrobat SDK?.
    We are creating several PDF Form on the server, is there any way we can use Acrobat SDK to enable form's extenstions programatically on the server after the PDF is created.
    If Yes How? any code example?

    Not using the Acrobat SDK, no.
    However, Adobe sells the LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server that can be
    used on a server for exactly this purpose.

  • Acrobat SDK: How to get events and write event handlers in c#

    I am trying out to get events from a pdf doc and handle it in my c# code with the samples that come with Acrobat-SDK. 
    I am yet to understand how I can do it. I am yet to discover the class that provides me the events. All the classes currently expose methods only. It might be that I am missing something for sure.
    Can somebody help?
    My use case is:
    the user will open a pdf doc and my application (or my app can trigger opening the pdf doc)
    when the user selects some text from the pdf doc, my app should get the event
    My event can handle the selection and get the selected text.
    Put a bookmark on the selection in the pdf doc (with additional attributes)
    the pdf doc retains such bookmarks when the pdf is saved.
    bookmarks in the pdf should be available for edit.
    A different app/code should be able to parse and retrieve these bookmarks along with the additional attributes of the bookmark.
    I hope, I have not asked too much.

    There are no “event handlers” for C# in the Acrobat SDK.  You will have to “poll” for things such as selected text.
    Also, I don’t know what sort of “additional attributes” you are thinking about, but that may or may not be possible from C#.

  • How do I compress PDF files using Acrobat SDK?

    have a web service created in a .net environment that examines existing pdf files in a staging directory prior to sending them over the wire using FTP.
    Part of that process requires that I rename individual files in order to associate them with a particular batch.
    I also have a requirement to reduce the size of individual files as much as possible in order to reduce the traffic going over the line.
    So far I have managed about a 30% compression rate by using an open source library (iTextSharp).
    I  am hoping that I can get a better compression rate using the Acrobat SDK, but I need someone to show me how, hopefully with an example that I can follow.
    The following code snippet is a model I wrote that accomplishes the rename and file compression...
                const string filePrefix = "19512-";
                string[] fileArray = Directory.GetFiles(@"c:\temp");
                foreach (var pdffile in fileArray) {
                    string[] filePath = pdffile.Split('\\');
                    var newFile = filePath[0] + '\\' + filePath[1] + '\\' + filePrefix + filePath[2];               
                    var reader = new PdfReader(pdffile);
                    var stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileStream(newFile, FileMode.Create), PdfWriter.VERSION_1_5);
                    int pageNum = 1;
                    for (int i = 1; i <= pageNum; i++) {
                        reader.SetPageContent(i, reader.GetPageContent(i), PdfStream.BEST_COMPRESSION);
                    stamper.Writer.CompressionLevel = PdfStream.BEST_COMPRESSION;
                    stamper.FormFlattening = true;
                    stamper.SetFullCompression();
                    stamper.Close();
    Any assistance is appreciated.

  • How do I work in Acrobat SDK?

    Hello,
    I have never worked with Acrobat SDK before.  I need to develop a plugin for Acrobat Reader 9.  Can someone please point me in the right direction and tell me what to do?
    After I have installed the SDK I want to develop a custom search plugin that will limit the search to only selected bookmarks in a PDF document.  Are there any examples of this available?
    Thanks so much!
    Linda

    Welcome, Linda:
    I wish somebody would have given me this advice when I started dealing with the Acrobat SDK, a decade ago.
    (1) The SDK contains a MSVS Solution called "All". You will find plenty of examples there.
    (2) One of the projects is specially important: SnippetRunner. It contains a wealth of functions. Back in my day it was weird and I avoided it, but now it is based on Adobe Air, and is much simpler to install. After you have Air installed, just double click on the file CommonInterfaceAIR.air. With that interface you will be handling Acrobat with a soft of remote control, and testing all kinds of functions.
    (3) I had no idea that DLLs are so easy to debug. Boy, is my face red!! You probably know how to do it. (Plugins are just a DLL with a different extension)
    (4) Keep these links handy (actually, update them to your version):

    I just want to know these info because I'm new here and I can't seem to find any answers to these here in the forums and on the Documentation.

    Hi,
    The Acrobat SDK is free and can be downloaded from http://www.adobe.com\devnet\acrobat. Please note to use the SDK you require Acrobat/Reader to be installed.
    As for using it with c#, there are a number of sample files in the SDK that can be used to learn. There is also documentation online and in the SDK.
