Acrobat 9 Plugin and Orbix2000 issues

I build a plugin using Acrobat 9 SDK.  The plugin starts a CORBA (Orbix2000) instance and a call back function in CORBA.  The same plugin works fine with Acrobat 8. In Acrobat 9.x (9.1 and 9.2), after the call back function in CORBA, most of the Acrobat API's are not accessable; usually I got "unhandled exceptions".  All the Acrobat menu items are fine even my plugin menu items.  e.g. (one example on AVAlert()):
void myCallback()
     // do the CORBA thing
void myTest()
    myCallback();
     // This is SDK Sample code
    ASAtom Name = ASExtensionGetRegisterName(gExtensionID);  //ok
    const char * name = ASAtomgetString(Name); // ok get my plugin name
     AVDoc avDoc = AVAppGetActiveDoc(); // ok
    if ( avDoc != null )
          char     str[256];
          PDDoc pdDoc = AvDocGetPDDoc(avDoc);  //ok
          int numOfPages = PDDocGetNumPages(pdDoc); // ok
          sprintf(str, "Number of pages = %d", numOfPages);
          // I added the follwing
          AVSysBeep(2)  // ok
          AVAlert(str);     // crash here in Acrobat 9.x but not in Acrobat 8.x
It looks like in Acrobat 9.x, the AVAlert's resource handle is gone or there is no AVAlert at the location that suppose to be.
Again, the same routine works in Acrobat 8.x.
Any suggestion from anyone or from Adobe's folks?

    Acrobat 8 only had a single instance of the application running no matter how many documents.  Acrobat 9 instantiates separate instances for each document.  Could you be assuming (or could the CORBA stuff be assuming) single process model?

  • Acrobat Plugin and Outlook 2007 use smime certificate(s)

    Hi fellas!
    My question is more or less a verification for me whether I understand the function correctly:
    Signing/encrypting using i.e. a/the smime certificate is solely done by/via the acrobat plugin and is "handed over" from Outlook (in this case 2007) to the plugin which then controls the whole process.
    Right?
    There is no option to ask for a password to use the certificate(s) if they are configured for use with(in) Acrobat and/or the plugin like it is possible within Outlook alone.
    Greetings from Germany
    Harry

    I'm having all of those problems too and since moving from MobileMe to iCloud now I have to restart Outlook 2007 at least 10 times to get it to open correctly - VERY FRUSTRATING! Not sure im staying on the iCloud thing as it has all the same issue - and even more- than mobileMe... :-(

  • Acrobat X and Yosemite Issues

    I have been using acrobat 10 and OS Mavericks to manage my office documents using a Fujitsu scanner. After I upgraded to OS Yosemite, I have been unable to print any of the documents that I have scanned. The image of the doc will show up on the print window, but all I get is a blank page. My print drivers are up to date and I have even tried a different brand of printer with the same results. I had coworker scan a doc and email it to me (windows machine) and I can print with no problems. I can also scan an image as a jpeg and print. Troubleshooting with Apple did not solve the issue. Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thank you in advance

    1) Zooming
    the zooming with the swipe gesture was always problematic, but it is now only happening in the Audio FIles Editor and to some extend in the Score Editor. All the other windows work fine on my machine.
    2) Resize Tool
    Works fine without a problem in the Main Window and the Editor windows. Of course, you can resize in the Audio FIles Editor.
    Hope that helps

  • CS6 Reinstall Forgot Illustrator Plugins and other issues...

    I recently had problems with the memory in my machine (Windows 7, 64-bit) and had to replace it. Somehow that messed up my licensing with my Adobe products (don't ask me why, we're completly stumped). Anyway, I unistalled and reinstalled CS6 and am having all sorts of fun issues. The big one is that somehow the plugins in Illustrator for drop shadow, inner glow and a few others didn't get installed? Others did. What gives? There wasn't an error or anything amiss in the install. How do I find out what was missed, and how do I get those back?
    Also, Adobe now somehow isn't able to register in it's system that CS6 is already licensed. I've had to re in-put my license like 20 times, it keeps asking me if I want to continue the trial. Something was hosed, but I am not sure how to resolve it. Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    I actually was working with an Adobe Rep with the reinstall...they did all the pieces and I sat there and watched. They didn't mention the cleaner tool at all, and the install "seems" to have run smoothly. That's what bothers me...no errors came up at all. If it wasn't able to properly install something, shouldn't it have given me an error report?
    I have been assured by Micorsoft, Dell and our IT staff that replacing the memory in the machine should not have affected this at all. Hence my frustration, no one seems to know why this happened.
    I may just try to uninstall and reinstall on my own again, and I will run the cleaner tool in between...this is not great for my productivity. I have had more issues with this version of CS than any of it's predecessors. *sigh...*
    Thanks anyway...

  • Livemerge plugin and connection issue.

    I'm am considering the livemerge plugin for a lengthy catalog project, so I'm trying to generate a sample file that dynamically updates a small IND file to present to my client.
    At this time I can't get a database connection- even to the mysql provided with the demo.
    I'm hoping to connect with someone who has used this.
    I'm thinking that I possibly need some kind of outside software on my mac to make the connection to the database?

    There's a test socket in there when you unscrew the faceplate. If you connect the modem to the test socket and you still get disconnections, then you probably have a line fault which will require an engineer to fix....
    unless the disconnections are simply wireless that could be due to wifi interference, of course.

  • Plugin check (incorrectly) says my acrobat plugin is out of date and takes me to a reader install

    Windows XP
    FF 20.0
    I have Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.6. and the plugin checker says its out of date.
    I don't think it is, it's just not Abobe Reader.
    I don't want to have both Acrobat and Reader. When I do, then there's two different plug-ins in FF, but they both have the same names, but they seem independent and it just seems messy. It looks as if the same plugin is on there twice, one updated and one not updated, but it doesn't seem possible to remove either one. Which is actually good, b/c one is for Acrobat and one is for Reader, which I didn't realize until I started looking into all this mess. Also, there's no point in me having Reader if I have Acrobat.
    It's weird that the plugin checker says the Acrobat plugin is out of date and directs me to the Reader 11 download to update it, eventhough I already have Reader 11 (thanks to the plugin checker). In other words, the one that is updated is Reader, but the one that is supposedly out of date just directs me to a DL that I already have installed. Sorry if its confusing.
    Now I downloaded it, and have since uninstalled it, but it seems well-known that there can be issues with dl'ing Reader when Acrobat is already uninstalled (or something), as well as when uninstalling one or the other, so now I am nervous, because I didn't take any precautionary measures when dl'ing or uninstalling Reader.
    I almost feel like I should uninstall everything (if possible) and just start fresh.
    Anyway, point is, the plugin checker is wrong, right?

    Hi jonadelman, if you have 10.1.6, you are current. It's just that the plugin checker doesn't know that both 10.1.6 and 11.0.2 are current.

  • Acrobat 9 - hyper link issue and print in larger font

    I am using Acrobat 9 and have two issues :
    When I try to convert a web page to pdf file i.e. through the print command in FF, the text links are there in the new file but without the underlying hyper links ?
    How can I print the files with a larger font. It is okay for seeing it on monitor but too small for me when I print.
    thanks.

    Do as AbhigyanModi suggests or use the Adobe Acrobat plugin that should be in your web browser if you're using Internet Explorer. This happened because you "printed" to convet to PDF. You have to use either AbhigyanModi method or use the Internet Explorer plugin to save active hyperlinks.
    In terms of the font size -- You can set up the web capture preferences first. Explore the menu that AbhigyanModi suggests or use the built in help. It's there for a reason.

  • FireFox 10.0.7 w/Adobe Acrobat plugin 10.1.4.38 issue

    Hello, everyone.
    Our internal network systems have two browsers - IE8 and FireFox10.  The IE8 browsers have security settings so high that the Acrobat plugin for it isn't even installed.  When viewing a PDF in IE8, the browser relinquishes viewing to Adobe Reader.  This presents a problem, as we have a Solr Collection indexing over 1,000 PDFs making them searchable, and when opened in a browser the PDF highlights and keeps track of where the keywords are located within.
    So we fall back to FireFox for viewing PDFs.  The search function works most adequately.
    But FireFox10 with Adobe Acrobat plugin 10.1.4.38 has another issue: hyperlinks.
    The PDFs were all created in Word 2007 using the Adobe PDFMaker plugin for Office, "Save As PDF", not "Print to PDF".  While the Reader will automatically parse an FQDN, making it a live, clickable link that will open a browser to said FQDN, FireFox will NOT.  The FQDN is blue and underscored, so it looks like a link, but clicking it produces nothing.
    We discovered (with some experimenting) that if a FQDN in Word is highlighted, copied, right-clicked and "Hyperlink" selected, then pasted into the proper field, then the link will work in FireFox.
    As I stated, we have over 1,000 of these PDFs, and we don't have the resources to edit every single one looking for FQDN text and performing the above operation.
    So, I guess what I asking is: will a future Acrobat plugin for FireFox automatically parse FQDN links?
    What options do I have in order to make the links work in FireFox, until then?
    Thank you,
    ^_^

    This is an on going issue that been going on for close to 15 years between Microsoft and Adobe.
    Try Opening Fire Fox and Upgrading to the latest version.
    Next upgrade to at least Acrobat . I've already upgraded to XI
    Maybe after 15 years the issue has been taken care of.
    dobe claims (for 15 years That Mac Office doesn't have the proper Hooks for hot Links).
    The odd thing is that Office11 is a Direct port of Office2007/2010 with code changes only for the Mac interface.
    If it's still an issue then its an Issue that Adobe is lazy and don't want to fix it.
    If your using a Mac you can open that same PDF on a PC and the links work.

  • Acrobat 9 and Canon iR-ADV C2030 issues

    I have a user running 10.7.5 on a 2ghz MacBook Pro who constantly has issues printing PDFs to various printers.  When she prints tabloid PDFs to our copier (Canon iR-ADV C2030), the prints come out fine.  When she prints tabloid PDFs to any of our other printers (Xerox Phaser 7750 & 7800, HP LaserJet 5200) the prints come out the wrong size.  It looks fine in the preview before she prints.  I had reset her printing system, gone into the localhost settings and wiped her preferences.  Only happens with PDFs, but it took a while to properly diagnose the issue (very busy user).
    After much testing, this is what I've come up with:  It ONLY happens with Adobe Acrobat 9, and only after printing to the Canon.  The user can first print a tabloid PDF to our HP and Xerox machines with no issue.  She can then print to the Canon with no ill effects.  But once she prints there, it messes up the Acrobat preferences and she can no longer print tabloid correctly to any other printer but the Canon.  The PDFs come out on letter at tabloid size (i.e., top corner oreinted with the rest of the image off the paper).  Odd one.  The problem does not occur with Acrobat X.

    Based on what you have written the ADV C5035 does not have the optional Postscript (PS) kit installed. It has nothing to do with any Mavericks update.
    So you will have to use the UFR2 driver you mention, which is a Canon proprietary printer language and the default printer kit in the Canon iR devices.
    Note that when creating the network print queue you must use the HP Jetdirect-Socket protocol. IPP is not supported by the driver and some users have had issues with the LPD protocol.

  • Issues betw. PDFs created in Acrobat 7 and reviewed in Reader 10

    Due to constraints with our authoring system, we are limited to using Acrobat 7 to create PDFs and prepare them for review. Recently, our reviewers have not been able to add their comments into these PDFs. We don't know if this is a disconnect between the versions of Acrobat Pro and Reader or if there are other issues that we're not aware of.
    Background:
    Working OS = Win XP SP3
    Reviewer OS = ? (various)
    To prepare the PDF, we select Comments > Enable for Commenting and Analysis in Adobe Reader... and then save this version of the file over the original PDF.
    Any thoughts out there?
    Message was edited by: lindrog007

    Can you elaborate on the exact problem you are facing here? What error do the reviewers get on adding comments? If possible, can you attach one such file created from A7?
