2D Barcode Plugin for Acrobat 7.0

Hopefully a simple question...
Can anyone help me to find a free 2D Barcode plugin for Arobat 7 Professional, please?
My situation...
I have a vendor program that sends data to a form. I can create new forms and select the data that I want to map to it. The information is mostly numeric such as an Identification number and date. This information is then entered into a long term storage system.
To eliminate data entry errors and to save some time, I would like to add a barcode (pdf417) to the document so it can just be scanned.
I saw that it was possible to create a form in designer, but the fields do not seem to work the same way as in professional, because data will not map to them.
If I could take the barcode piece from designer and put it in acrobat, it would be perfect.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

How can we create a plugin for Acrobat reader to convert a Pdf to Excel format?

Hi all,
I need to convert a pdf to excel format ! is it possible by a plugin in acrobat reader.
I know that it can be done with Acrobat Professional and i have to do the same with the Acrobat Reader?
Does the Acrobat Reader support file conversion plugins?
Sreejesh K V

Hi,
I don't know if Reader supports the onversion but you can easily check that : open an Excel file with Reader and check the result.
With Acrobat Pro when you open a document using Acrobat then it's automatically converted. If this functionality is supported with Reader you will have the same behavior.
Once it's supported you just have to open your document using Acrobat.exe (or Reader.Exe)
My mistake I understood the opposite. To check that Acrobat Reader support the conversion you just have to check in the Reader interface.

Joe

Unable to install Active X and Flash Plugin for Acrobat

I would like to create a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat Pro XI. However, once I have selected the files I get a notification that states, "To view the Flash technology content in this PDF file, please install this version of Flash Player that supports Adobe Reader and Acrobat." When I click the buttom "Proceed to download page," it brings me to this page: Acrobat Help | Flash Player needed | Acrobat, Reader XI
The problem is, the two download links for Windows don't seem to be working. Is this an across the board issue or is it just me? How can I go about installing these required plugins?

Hi asbryk,
I checked the link to install flash player and it is working fine.
If the 'Flash Player Active X' and 'Flash Player Plug-ins ' are already installed in your system, then first uninstall them.
For that, please go to Control Panel>Programs and Features and click uninstall.
Also, check whether you have an updated Acrobat version i.e. 11.0.09 by clicking Help>Check for Updates
Now, restart your system and install the Flash Player from the same link you tried earlier.
I hope this will work fine now.

Barcode Separators for Acrobat Pro X

I'm trying to determine if Acrobat can produce its own barcodes for separator pages. Do I have to create my own barcodes in Forms or must I buy further software? I've got a small desk scanner and it doesn't look like my hardware (Kodak i2800) has its own barcodes.
Many thanks,
Silvana.

Plugin for Acrobat Reader cannot use DigSig methods?

Hi,
I have an acrobat plugin created using acrobat sdk 9, registered using PubSec. Now, i want to make it run for adobe reader aswell. but i read the following somewhere:
You may not use the Adobe Reader key to develop or enable your plug-in or any other software or hardware to perform or enable any of the following:
Add functionality to Adobe Reader that is substantially similar to functionality in commercially available Acrobat products
Accept navigational commands from an application other than Adobe Reader
Create, remove, or modify any Enabling Rights (including but not limited to permissions added to a PDF file with a product such as Adobe LiveCycle™ Reader Extensions (formerly Adobe Reader Extensions Server)
Save or modify any Acrobat file (including without limitation PDF, FDF, or annotation)
Extract and save any content from a PDF file (other than submitting form data to a remote server)
Use any APIs from the Forms or DigSig Host Function Tables (HFTs)
Modify the appearance of Adobe Reader
Remove the menu item that calls up the "About" screen in Adobe Reader
Implement a Replacement File System (RFS) for Adobe Reader"
Does this mean that i cannot use a plugin registered using DigSig HFT OR that i cannot use DigSig methods in my plugin, which i have used generously?
If the latter, then does this mean i'll have to remove all DigSig method usage from my plugin?
Thanks

It means you need a special Reader-enabling license. When you send in your Reader IKLA (integrated key license agreement) you need to specify that you are doing something related to DigSig so that they can send you the revised agreement and pricing model.

Where can I download the plugins for Acrobat Reader X

In particular, the plugin called: "weblink" is not loaded causing all live links in pdfs being read by the Reader to not work in a browser.

The plugins are part of the Adobe Reader X installation.

One more things. I find out I can use a javascript code do hide toolbar menu and menu item and I founded some inforation that is not possible use that way to disable context menu on right click mouse button. Is that correct ?

Look at the documentation:

Look at 'Developing for Adobe Reader' in 'Introduction to SDK'.

How to get collection of embeded fonts using plugins in acrobat reader?

I am trying to create a plugin for acrobat reader to display embedded fonts on opened document and will do business logic afterward, but not sure whats the method to get the collection of embedded fonts.
Please give me example of code snippet how to get collection of embedded fonts of opened document.
Thanks

PDDocEnumFonts() will enumerate the fonts in a document for you. You will have to look at each font to determine if it's embedded or not.
Don't forget that to build a plugin for Reader, you need a license from Adobe.

I would like to create a plugin for adobe acrobat pro 9.0...

I would like to create a plugin for adobe acrobat pro 9.0 in order to compare pages, delete the same pages and mark pages from first compared document with new and mark pages from second compared document with original. I downloaded the SDK for adobe 9.0 but now I am not sure how to continue? Do I need Visual Studio or can I use another program that is a freeware? What other program do you recommend? How can I open an .api file in order to see the code? Do I need to place the SDK files in a specific place?

1. You will need Visual Studio. Getting your first plug-in to compile can be an ordeal, be sure to use a sample project and work with it exactly.
2. API files are the work of other programmers. You cannot look inside, and to try to do so is a breach of most software licenses.
3. API files are installed to the Acrobat plug-ins folder.
4. You will not find samples or code to copy/paste. You should be an experienced C/C++ programmer, you should be familiar with the basics of the PDF file format ISO 32000-1, and you should be prepared to read thousands of pages of documentation.

Plugins for Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. Where are they??

In Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Software on the menu bar open Help > About Adobe Plugins. A list of installed and/or available plugins for the program are displayed and marked certified. However, several of the plugins listed are also listed as not installed. It appears plugins are downloaded by default during initial installation since I hadn't actually contributed to the list's contents. There doesn't seem to be a way manage plugins? Where are these missing plugins and how do I install them. Please advise only if you know the answer. I am running Win7 64bit.

Plugins are stored in the folder plugins of Acrobat. Not all plugins are loaded at startup of Acrobat.

Hi ..
You can use the pre installed Preview app for editing .JPEG files.
Preview is located in your Applications folder.

Can I do this with a plugin for Reader?

Hello, I'm totally new to Adobe Reader development and I'm in the need to develop a plugin for Reader that must implement certain functionality. Before starting, I think it's better to ask to the experts if what I want to do is possible or if what I need goes beyond what the Adobe API provides. So, if you're so kind, I'd like you to check the list of needed features and please tell me if they can be fulfilled with a Reader Plugin.
The plugin must work for Adobe Reader 7,8,9 and 10. It's not a problem if I need to develop a plugin for each version.
When the user tries to print a document, I will block/cancel the printing process depending on which document is tried to be printed (the full path to the document will be needed).
I need traceability in "Save as" and "Save as text" features, if the user saves a copy of "c:\file.pdf" into "c:\file - copy.pdf" I need to know both the source and the destiny of the save as operation. Same for any kind of "export to format x" operations if possible.
I need to be able to communicate with another module via named pipe to periodically send information. This might require dinamically loading a DLL and calling its methods.
[Optional] I need to restrict the use of the clipboard depending on the documents opened in Reader, i.e. don't allow to copy if a certain document is opened.
[Optional] If a document is exported via file printer (like Microsoft xps printer), I need traceability on this operation. I'm really pesimistic about this one.
Also, I'm assuming that retrieving the list of opened documents, or the "active" document will be possible at any time. Please, correct me if wrong.
Thank you very much for your time, for reading and helping. Im' not asking you to tell me how to implement every single feature, I just need to know if I will be able to implement them when I get some knowledge.
Have a great day. Greets.

Two things.
First – Adobe no longer supports Reader 7 or 8, so you would be on your own for those.
Second, in order to develop a plugin for Reader you need to obtain a license from Adobe. Details and forms are in the Acrobat SDK. Start this process ASAP as that will tell you whether you will be able to do your plugin or not.

Adding Barcode field in Acrobat X

When I try to add a barcode field in Acrobat X I get the following message
A Barcode Field encodes data that end-users type into a fillable PDF form. Use of this type of field for paper forms processing requires Adobe's Barcoded Paper Forms Solution (separate license required).
Where do you go to purchase this liscense? I can't seem to find it on the webpage.

It is required if you want the bar code field to work with Adobe Reader (Win/Mac). If all of your users will have Acrobat, it's not needed. The license can be purchased along with LiveCycle Reader Extensions (http://www.adobe.com/sea/products/server/readerextensions/), which is also available from datalogics.com (I couldn't get to their web site today, but look here: http://www.linkedin.com/company/datalogics/adobe-pdf-java-toolkit-1006340/product?trk=biz_ product)
If you go through Adobe, you'll have to talk to a sales rep about pricing.
