Acrobat plugin sdk query

Hi All,
when i use acrobat sdk plugin sample in MS VS2005, it is asking "Please specify the name of the executable file to be used for the debug the session", I am not much understand about that, could some one help for, to understand how to use the acrobat plugin sdk's.
-Thanks.

you can run the SDK by first building the project, after successful build go to the debug folder u ill find an api generated, copy the api and paste in the Plug-in's folder(you will find this folder in the source path where you have installed your acrobat software) after pasting run the acrobat.exe you will find your plug-in installed(Normally when you run the sample plug-in you will find the plug in installed in Advanced>>Acrobat-SDK)

Plugin created using C++ 6 and Acrobat 6 SDK Not Working in Windows

I have an Acrobat plugin compiled in Visual C++ 6 using Acrobat 6 SDK. The plugin works flawlessly in Acrobat versions 6 to 9 in Windows XP. While the plugin is able to add a menu iterm and tool bar icon in Windows 7, it causes Acrobat to hang everytime when activated in which event I have to close Acrobat. Since Visual C++ 6 is a 32 bit app, I have to believe that Acrobat 6 SDK is responsible for the behavior described herein in attempting to get the plugin to work in Windows 7. Any comments or suggestions regarding what Visual C++ version to use along with the appropriate Acrobat SDK to get the plugin to work in Windows 7 are appreciated. In doing so, I would also be interested in knowing what backward compatibility one may expect w/regard to previous versions of Acrobat in updating the plugin to work in Windows 7. As for the answer, correct me if I am wrong but I'm thinking Acrobat 9.

Adobe hasn't supported Acrobat 6, VC6 or the Acrobat 6 SDK for at least 5 years. You will need to move to the Acrobat 9 SDK if you wish support.
And Acrobat 9 and its SDK are fine with Windows 7.

Look at the samples in the SDK around PDFEdit and the PDEdit APIs.

Converting Acrobat 7 SDK -built plug-in to Acrobat 9

We have a plug-in developed inhouse with Acrobat 7 SDK. We are looking for someone with SDK programming experience to help us port it for Acrobat 9. We tried ourselves using Xcode compiler, but it seems that the plug-in is not showing up either as a Menu item nor as a tool icon.
I understand that it may be a very simple problem, which somehow we miss resolving, but since our original programmer is no longer with us, we need some help in porting the tool to Acrobat 9 Pro.
If interested, or have a suggestion, please call me at 216-252 7300 ext. 2684.
Andrzej

NoSmoking,
Thanks for the reply. Since I am not the programmer you may need to just bear with me a bit, if you can.
First, the app is running on OSX (10.3.9 - 10.5.11) - hence the use of XCode as compiler. I checked About Adobe Plug-ins list in 9 Pro which shows loaded plug-ins and our UpdatePage4Layer.acroplugin is not there. Unless there is another way to look at the loaded plug-in list, I cannot find it.
Second, could you explain the check using PluginInit method? There is a section in the project's code which covers PluginInit, but I am not sure how I can use it:
/* PluginInit
** The main initialization routine.
** Return true to continue loading plug-in.
** Return false to cause plug-in loading to stop.
ACCB1 ASBool ACCB2 PluginInit(void)
return MyPluginSetmenu();
I also searched for AVMenuItemNew in the project's code and here is what I found:
// Create our menuitem
menuItem = AVMenuItemNew (MyMenuItemTitle, MyMenuItemName, NULL, true, NO_SHORTCUT, 0, NULL, gExtensionID);
AVMenuItemSetExecuteProc (menuItem, ASCallbackCreateProto(AVExecuteProc, MyPluginCommand), NULL);
AVMenuItemSetComputeEnabledProc (menuItem,
ASCallbackCreateProto(AVComputeEnabledProc, MyPluginIsEnabled), (void *)pdPermEdit);
// get advanced menu
advancedMenu = AVMenubarAcquireMenuByName (menubar, "Advanced");
endToolsGroup1MenuItem = AVMenubarAcquireMenuItemByName(menubar, "endToolsGroup1");
ASInt32 sepIndex = AVMenuGetMenuItemIndex(advancedMenu, endToolsGroup1MenuItem);
// add new menuitem under AcrobatSDK Sub Menu
if(bUnderAcrobatSDKSubMenu) {
// Acquire the common "AcrobatSDK" sub menu.
commonMenu = AVMenubarAcquireMenuByName (menubar, "AMGR:AG_Plugins");
// if "AcrobatSDK" sub menu is not existing, create one under Advanced menu.
if (!commonMenu) {
commonMenu = AVMenuNew ("AG Plugins", "AMGR:AG_Plugins", gExtensionID);
commonMenuItem = AVMenuItemNew ("AG Plugins", "AMGR:AG_Plugins", commonMenu,
false, NO_SHORTCUT, 0, NULL, gExtensionID);
bCreatedCommonMenu = true;
AVMenuAddMenuItem(advancedMenu, commonMenuItem, sepIndex);
// add new menu item to Acrobat SDK sub menu
AVMenuAddMenuItem (commonMenu, menuItem, APPEND_MENUITEM);
// or directly add new menu item under Advanced menu
else {
endToolsGroup1MenuItem = AVMenubarAcquireMenuItemByName(menubar, "endToolsGroup1");
ASInt32 sepIndex = AVMenuGetMenuItemIndex(advancedMenu, endToolsGroup1MenuItem);
AVMenuAddMenuItem(advancedMenu, menuItem, APPEND_MENUITEM);
AVMenuRelease(advancedMenu);
AVMenuItemRelease(endToolsGroup1MenuItem);
AVMenuRelease (commonMenu);
HANDLER
if(endToolsGroup1MenuItem)
AVMenuItemRelease(endToolsGroup1MenuItem);
if (advancedMenu)
AVMenuRelease (advancedMenu);
if (commonMenu)
AVMenuRelease (commonMenu);
return false;
END_HANDLER
Then I found also instructions to get the tool bar button (which BTW did not work in Acrobat 8):
//add button to toolbar
DURING
// Create the main toolbutton. We position it just before the end of the
// tools group of buttons.
toolsSeparator = AVToolBarGetButtonByName(toolBar, ASAtomFromString("endSelectToolsGroup"));
toolButton = AVToolButtonNew (ASAtomFromString("AMGR:UpdatePG4Layer"),GetToolButtonIcon("UpdatePG4Icon","png"), true, false);
// You must set the internal/external nature of the toolbutton
// before adding it to the toolbar. Buttons are internal by default.
// AVToolButtonSetExternal (toolButton, TOOLBUTTON_EXTERNAL);
AVToolBarAddButton (toolBar, toolButton, true, toolsSeparator);
AVToolButtonSetExecuteProc (toolButton,
ASCallbackCreateProto(AVExecuteProc, MyPluginCommand), NULL);
AVToolButtonSetComputeEnabledProc (toolButton,
ASCallbackCreateProto(AVComputeEnabledProc, MyPluginIsEnabled), (void *)pdPermEdit);
AVToolButtonSetHelpText (toolButton, "AG Plugins:UpdatePG4Layer");
HANDLER
return false;
END_HANDLER
return true;
However I do not know where I can find AVMenuItemNew&#12289, or is that expression a combination of separate items?
Thanks again for your help,
A.

How to install or enable Acrobat X SDK for Windows

Ok down that I have downloaded Acrobat X SDK for Windows.
DUUUU How do I install it?? The only setup.exe is located in Visual Studio App Wizard.
I have Professional X.....do I add it from this program some how?
thanks
mike

There is nothing to install as such.
SDK is basically set of public headers , documentation related to them and some samples to demonstrate the usage of these public APIs to write third-party plugins/samples.
You can write your own Acrobat/Reader plugin/App using the SDK.
The setup.exe you found is the plugin-wizard which will install template for Acrobat Plugin on VS9. If you are developing on VS9, it will be useful for you to install this template.
Please refer to the SDK Documentation for the details on how to use the SDK (for writing plugins).

Does Acrobat XI have a compatibility problem with Acrobat 8 SDK?

I have an Acrobat plugin using the Acrobat 8 sdk. Il works well with Acrobat8, 9, and X.
It does not load with acrobat XI. There is a NSException that is reaised.
What in Acrobat XI can cause this behavior?
Thanks!

Changes are that your plugin is either explicitly linking with the ADM technology that we have been telling developers since Acrobat 8 that it was going away. Guess what – it's gone!
So you will need to recompile your plugin, removing all references to ADM and its HFT.

Acrobat 7 sdk

hi,
is there sdk available for acrobat 7.
if yes,how shall i get the setup or how can download

Regd.yest.suggestion by Aandi to use AVPageViewRectToDevice method, that doesnt work in the scenario i have. I am actually using AVPageViewDeviceRectToPage method to convert coordinates from device space to user space before calling the AVPageViewDrawRectOutline method in the callback.
However,the rectangle which i want should be somewhere at the top, but gettin it at near the bottom of the page.
I presume this may be due to the coordinates being relative to the bottom left of the page (0,0).
I want to know: How to get the page height in acrobat plugin code so that the rect top/bottom coordinates can be subtracted from the page height ?
Is there any specfic method to get the page width & height?

How to access Acrobat Plugin using GetInterface?

Hi
I'm trying to access a C++ plug-in written for Adobe Acrobat from a C# program. Following is my code, which I found elsewhere in this forum (LINK).
Type acroApp;
acroApp = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("AcroExch.App");
object oAcroObject = Activator.CreateInstance(acroApp);
object[] param = new object[1];
param[0] = "MyPlugin";
object pluginRef = oAcroObject.GetType().InvokeMember("GetInterface",BindingFlags.Invoke Method, null, oAcroObject, param);
Here, MyPlugin is the name of the plugin (without extension) which I've placed in the Acrobat plug-ins folder. But this way, InvokeMember returns a NULL object instead of the expected interface of my plugin.
What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You don't do it that way.
You need to use standard "inter application communication" methods such as (but not limited to): COM, DDE, shared memory, shared files, named pipes, etc.

Acrobat Plugin Can be involved in Real-time processing

Hi,
I am implementing an acrobat plug-in solution for color separation and generation of PRN file for the given PDF file.
Is the Plugin Architecture is good for the real time processing and RIPPIng? I have a doubt like the Acrobat Process
is involved in exectuing the each and every plugin HFT functions, is that would be fine for my plug-in to respond
in realtime?
Please suggest me.
Thanks & Regards,
Abdul Rasheed.

First and foremost, Acrobat can NOT be used on a server, right? So this is going to be a user-invoked process, correct?
Beyond that, what do you thin would be a problem?

Adobe Acrobat plugin keep crashing

Every time I try to view a pdf in Firefox, I get an error message stating that the Adobe Acrobat plugin has crashed.

'''mtnharry''' (or anyone else with this problem) maybe this will help:
===The Adobe Acrobat plugin has crashed===
You can get this error when both Adobe Reader X and Adobe Acrobat are installed. You can resolve the problem as follows:
#Open the Adobe Reader X application
#Go to''' Edit''' -> '''Preferences'''
#Under Categories (on the left) select '''General''' (near the top)
#Click the button '''Select Default PDF Handler''' (at the bottom)
#Under "Select Adobe Product", open the drop-down menu and click "Adobe Reader X".
#Click "Apply", then close Adobe Reader X

Calling a method in acrobat plugin as COM obj method

Hi all,
I want to call a method from my acrobat plugin as a COM objects method. Can i import i.e. add reference of plugin and call the perticular method which accepts two PDDoc parameters. For this I can use any platform (JS, C#, VB.net or anything). Please help me out.

Consider I have exported the below plugin method via COM as Irosenth mentioned above, will I be able to see the highlighting happening visually in the PDF document which is currently active when I call this COM method from my C# Winform application?
Also consider I have the Adobe Reader plugin license, will this functionality work in Reader?

How do I install the Acrobat Plugin in Safari?

How do I install the Acrobat Plugin in Safari?

Hi Gaspar,
With the Acrobat 10.1.3 update, we fixed the PDF-viewer for Safari 5.1.x. Make sure your Acrobat is up to date via Help > Check for Updates.

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.
