Acrobat Plug-in Variable Refresh.

Hi, I met a problem in local variable value refresh.
I developed a plug-in based on the Basic Plug-in template in Samples from Acrobat.
In the function which response to the click on user menu, I defined a local variable to record a user self defined value in an external configuration file.
In my scenario, my plug-in will read an external config file in the same folder with the current PDF file.
When I want to switch from current PDF to another, it works perfectly when I close the Acrobat Professional and re-open it.
But when I only close current PDF and leave the Acrobat Professional open, and I open the other PDF by loading it from File menu, and run the plug-in again, the config value read from external is same.
This shall not happen because the value I created is a local one and I delete it at the end the execution.

Plugins are kept loaded throughout the life of Acrobat. This no way to "re-init" them.
But this simply sounds like you need to rethink your design about how you handle things, now that you know you are kept around.

  • Variable Refreshment Problem in Workbook

    Hi Experts,
    We have a workbook for Price Definition Planning (Using SAP IP).
    There is one Navigational Attribute called u2018Category Segmentu2019 (for Planning Product) as a dropdown item which populates new records in workbook.
    If we run the workbook for first time after giving the required variable input value for category segment suppose u2018Chocolateu2019, it works as intended.
    But the problem is that , if next time we change the variable value for the same to different one suppose u2018Cookiesu2019, its not showing me the records of that u2018Cookiesu2019 segment in the analysis item. Itu2019s still showing the previous records i.e. for u2018Chocolateu2019 only rather than Cookies.
    We checked the option for variable refreshment as well as workbook refreshment. But the problem still persists.
    If anyone has any idea about this, please do share it.

    hi.
    check if your user has personalized the variables, because they won't show up if he refreshes. you have to call up the variable screen explicitly by using the option from the menu and then you can change the personalization setting.

  • Acrobat Plug In Container Crashes After Update to Acrobat Pro 10.1.3

    After the 10.1.3 update was applied to Acrobat Pro X for Windows (on Windows 7 64-bit), the Acrobat Plug-In for Firefox crashes intermittently.  A dialog box will appear within the Firefox environment reporting the crash.  Firefox continues running without issue.
    Reported error:
    Faulting application name: plugin-container.exe, version: 12.0.0.4493, time stamp: 0x4f920759
    Faulting module name: Acrobat.dll, version: 10.1.3.23, time stamp: 0x4f7bd9b8
    Exception code: 0xc0000005

    Report Id: ba947bbf-8e2a-11e1-9d58-5c260a306abe
    I attempted a repair of the Acrobat 10.1.3 install, but this does not resolve the error; nor does reinstalling or updating Firefox to the latest build. 

    ry a restart.
    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

    You can see the installed plugins on the about:plugins page.

    You can set the pref plugin.expose_full_path to true on the about:config page to see the full path of plugins on the about:plugins page.
    It is best not to leave that pref set to true as it exposes that full path to web servers, so reset that pref to false after you are done with the about:plugins page.
    You can open about:plugins and about:config via the location bar, like you open a website (about: is a special protocol to access some build-in pages).
    If you get a warning when opening the about:config page then you can confirm that you want to continue.

  • Developing Acrobat plug-ins for different languages

    I presently have an Acrobat plug-in created specifically for the English version of Acrobat 6 and higher. Can someone tell me in general what has to be done in order to accommodate a different language, i.e., Spanish, German, for those using Acrobat? Would the entire script that creates the .api file necessarily have to be written in the specific language or only parts thereof that produce the desired effect in using it? Thank you ahead of time.

    That's Great! So basically, if I wanted to market a Spanish version for a plug-in that added a calendar to a PDF form, then all I would need to do is change the script to display the text for each calendar month in Spanish as opposed to English. Does that make sense?

  • Acrobat Plug In...Could not find external window handler

    When I try to open a pdf file with Adobe Acrobat, my computer gives me a prompt, Acrobat Plug In...Could not find external window handler...
    The problem just started recently.  I am running Adobe Acrobat 6.0 and the ME version of Windows.  The Microsoft help desk told me this was an Adobe problem.
    Can anyone give me some advise?

    Hello.
    I'm getting the same problem.
    Did you find a solution?
    Thanks a lot

  • Trying to use an eFiling system getting mssg "adobe acrobat plug-in is not installed or is disabled"

    I am on an IMac with Snow Leopard - I have updated ALL Adobe products.  I am trying to open documents in an online filing system and I repeatedly get the message..."adobe acrobat plug-in is not installed or is disabled".  Anyone have any ideas??  Thanks so much!

    Firefox can find plugins in several locations, but Firefox 21 changed the location of the "shared" plugin folder so older installers like the Microsoft Windows Media Plugin no longer drop the DLL file in the correct location.
    There apparently are two ways to address this:
    (1) Change a Firefox preference so that Firefox checks the old location. Here's how:
    (i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (ii) In the filter box, type or paste '''plugins''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (iii) Double-click '''plugins.load_appdir_plugins''' to switch its value from false to true.
    This will take effect after you restart Firefox.
    (2) Copy the plugins folder to the new location. Here's how on Win 7 64-bit:
    Open a Windows Explorer window to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    Right-click and copy the '''Plugins''' folder
    Double-click the '''browser''' folder to open it
    Right-click and paste
    Right-click the new copy of '''Plugins''' and rename it to '''plugins'''
    After restarting Firefox, the plugins in that folder should now be available.
    ''Edit: I suggest just doing #1.''

  • How could execute acrobat plug-in in command line?

    I am using acrobat plug-in to develop my own application.
    But I don't want to launch acrobat plug-in feature through acrobat menu item.
    Is it possible to launch acrobat plug-in(.api) with command line or outside acrobat?

    There is no way to do it from the command line, but you can establish
    whatever form of IAC/IPC between your plugin and your external application
    as you wish.  COM - DDE - IPC - named pipes - shared memory - shared files
    - etc....

    For adobe acrobat plug in why do I need to agree to also have McAfee since I already have CA security on my computer?

    hello, i think this an optional bundling added by adobe - you should uncheck that download option when you don't need it.

  • Is "Acrobat plug-in -'Could not launch Acrobat' " a Firefox or Adobe issue?

    When I link to a PDF / Acrobat file nothing launches and the dialogue box noted above appears. Is there something in Firefox I can adjust to allow the plug-in to launch? Or is this a question I should pose to Adobe? I am using the latest Acrobat plug-in.
    Thanks.
