Acrobat SDK for Action Script 3 developers?

Hi,
is there or will there be any possibility of accessing the Acrobat SDK via Action Script 3?
As far as I know the Acrobat SDK is based on the C programming language. I wonder if there will be an integration with Adobe AIR, Flash, Flex technologies, i.e. a bridge to Action Script 3.
Any news, help, ideas? Thanks in advance!

Adobe AIR offers integration with the Acrobat SDK.  There are a variety of samples available in the AIR SDK and Adobe Labs...

  • Where can I get Acrobat SDK for Visual Studio 6.0?

    Several years ago, I purchased the Adobe Acrobat SDK for
    VS 6.0. It has since been misplaced or deleted.
    Where can I obtain another copy?

    There are legacy programs out there written in VB 6.0
    Unfortunately, my client is not willing to spend the thousands of dollars it would cost for us to convert all that code to .NET
    I don't expect Adobe to provide support for the VB 6.0 SDK.
    I just need to get another copy of it.
    Please advise.
    Thanks

  • Batch export for action script?

    Is there some way I can apply the Linkage>Export for

    Thanks.

    if you can, you'll still need to give each an instance name
    to refer to when using it.

    My customer's solution has several issues generating PDF files and we are looking at the Acrobat SDK as at the instance of the final truth.
    I use Interop.Acrobat.dll as a .NET project reference to open and resave PDF documents. I'd like to do all things I mentioned above.
    After years and years, I have concluded that if you do serious PDF development, you need a set of libraries. For instance, if you are doing typesetting type of work ("vertical center", "horizontal center", "margin", etc., etc) , there is an excellent library from a guy in Germany (land of Johannes Gutenberg and printing presses)...
    ... which turned out to be useless in my next project which dealt with AcroForms.
    I know exactly what you mean by "the final truth", sometimes I wish Adobe had some sort of official validating tool (like XML does).
    Per your comments, I would recommend you to consider this library. It is available in all languages and its output is the same quality as Adobe's or at least in the same league:

  • 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
    Sathish V.

    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.

  • Setting timeout settings for Action Scripts

    We are using OIM 11gR1 along with the AD and Domino connectors. We are also using Action Scripts to perform some post create actions on the AD and Domino resources that get created by OIM. The action scripts are being invoked with the correct set of parameters and they do their job. However for both connectors, the connector server (Java connector server for Domino, .NET connector server for AD) times out when waiting for the script to complete. Our scripts are expected to take a long time (30+ seconds).
    Based on our testing, the AD connector times out in 30 seconds, and the Domino connector times out in 20 seconds. You would get the below exception in your Java Connector Server log file:
    Dec 4, 2013 2:36:41 PM org.identityconnectors.framework.api.operations.ScriptOnConnectorApiOp runScriptOnConnector
    FINE: Exception:
    java.lang.RuntimeException: Timeout waiting for action, process was terminated
        at org.identityconnectors.domino.WinJni._executeWinCommand(Native Method)
        at org.identityconnectors.domino.WinJni.executeWinCommand(WinJni.java:31)
        at org.identityconnectors.domino.ScriptOnConnector.executeCmdScript(ScriptOnConnector.java:143)
        at org.identityconnectors.domino.ScriptOnConnector.runScriptOnConnector(ScriptOnConnector.java:88)
        at org.identityconnectors.domino.DominoConnector.runScriptOnConnector(DominoConnector.java:316)
    Is there any way to configure OIM so that it waits longer for the action script to complete. The real problem over here is that if 2 users are being provisioned to AD and/or Domino simultaneously (we use access policies to trigger provisioning rules), then the connector (Java or .NET) does NOT invoke the action script for the second user if the action script for the first user times out. It does however create AD/Domino resources for all applicable users. This in itself is a defect - but I need a workaround.
    Looking at some old Sun Identity Manager documentation (which became Oracle Waveset), it seems that the entire OIM concept of action scripts has its origins in Sun Identity Manager/Oracle Waveset. And these products did support the notion of timeouts. Have a look at :
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19225-01/821-0092/bzbuc/index.html
    Does anyone familiar with Oracle OIM code know if custom timeouts are supported by AD and Domino connectors?
    Thanks

  • Can I use Adobe acrobat SDK for commercial products of our company.

    Hi Adobe guys,
    One of our new project need to  print a pdf file (Application form) from local computer. So I'm looking for some API to print PDF files and I heard about acrobat SDK provide by Adobe. So my question is can I use this SDK for our companey commercial product development?

    Sure.
    Of course, the user will need to have either Acrobat or Reader installed – depending on which APIs you choose to use.

  • Recommendation for Action Script Text book?

    I am looking for a good reference to a text book on Action Script, both 2 and 3.
    (hard copy text, it is easier than having stacks of windows opened and sort through to find what I need)
    Some of the questions that a good text would answer are:
    1: How do I know what base classes to import into any given .as file to cover the functionality?
    2: How linkage works and what I can apply it to.
    for instance if I want to add an event listener, can I do stage.addEventListener(....etc)
    when the class is linked to a movieClip. If I use this.addEventListener, it attaches the
    event listener to the object to which the class is linked, right?
    3: The feature sets that each version of Flash Player supports, as well as browser
       Flash plugins.
    4: How to handle permission problems when attempting to send data via post to a server
       (if have been following an example and get errors regarding permissions when attempting
        to have action script send data about the Flash plugin the client is using).
    5: How javascript in a pdf file differs from browser javascript where embedded Flash content
      (in the pdf file) is concerned.
    6: How to troubleshoot AS2 and AS3 linkage problems.
       (I have followed an exercise example in text I use, mentioned below, and have had the
    result fail without errors. But I suspect there may be a difference between CS3 and CS4
    that would account for this).
    Initially, I have been generating at least 4 different versions of swf files for each version
    of Flash Player back to v7. Javascript and server side code is used to determine which
    version to load for the client requesting it.
    Currently I am using the Adobe pdf manual and Lynda.com: 'ActionScript 3.0 for Adobe
    Flash CS3 Professional Hands On Training', although I am using Flash CS4 Professional.
    It is a starter text but not extensive into theory and practice.
    I have done tons of Javascript and PHP programming (PHP on the server side).
    It is better for me to have as much information and guidance in a text book than posting
    to a forum for every problem I encounter.
    Than you for advice and suggestions

  • Merging PDF / Page Numbers / Acrobat SDK V9  & LiveCycle

    Hello everyone,
    I use Adobe LiveCycle to create forms, Visual Studio 2005 and the Acrobat SDK for the application I'm programming to fill in these forms. The application fills in the forms and merges them with no issues.
    The problem I have is that these pages have page numbers in the upper right. I use the Page N of M object on these forms in LiveCycle. PDF page numbers are filled in correctly when filling in the forms, but when I merge PDFs, the pages keep their original page numbers. I've looked at the Windows - Interapplication Communications even using templates to no avail.
    How can I merge these pdf's and have my program renumber these pages correctly and how can insert pages anywhere I want in the merge document?
    Below is the code I use to merge the PDF's. It was posted in a forum.
    Sub MergePDF(ByVal ThePath As String, ByVal outFileName As String)
    On Error GoTo serror
    Dim dPDDocMerge As New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
    Dim dPDDoc As New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
    Dim strFiles() As String
    Dim numPage As Integer
    Dim TotalPage As Integer
    Dim objThisFile As IO.FileInfo 'get FileInfo object for file string
    strFiles = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(ThePath) ' Read in the file names
    Dim b As Boolean ' mostly for testing purposes... could use it for error 'checking to make sure that a file is really added before deleleting it...
    For i As Integer = 0 To strFiles.Length - 1 ' run through all the files in 'the directory
    objThisFile = New IO.FileInfo(strFiles(i)) ' Get the extension
    If objThisFile.Extension = ".pdf" Then ' Only add in PDFs
    If dPDDocMerge.GetFileName = "" Then ' check if it's the first file
    dPDDocMerge = New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
    b = dPDDocMerge.Open(strFiles(i)) ' open first file
    TotalPage = dPDDocMerge.GetNumPages
    Else
    dPDDoc = New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
    b = dPDDoc.Open(strFiles(i)) ' open other files
    numPage = dPDDocMerge.GetNumPages ' get the page count
    TotalPage += numPage
    b = dPDDocMerge.InsertPages(numPage - 1, dPDDoc, 0, dPDDoc.GetNumPages, _ False) ' Insert
    End If
    End If
    Next
    'b = dPDDocMerge.Save(1, ThePath & "\" & outFileName) ' save file
    b = dPDDocMerge.Save(1, ThePath & "\" & "\MyTest.PDF") ' save file
    b = dPDDocMerge.Close()
    Exit Sub
    serror:
    MsgBox(ErrorToString)
    End Sub
    Thanks for any code or advice.

    You can't merge LiveCycle forms this way :(. LC forms are NOT standard PDF files and can't be processed in the same way.

  • Acrobat SDK License Agreement Question

    The following is a section of the latest Acrobat SDK License Agreement from the Adobe website:
    "3.2  Development Restrictions.  You agree that You will not Use the Software to create, develop or use any program, software or service which . . . (b) can both (i) communicate with Adobe Reader Products and (ii) modify or save a PDF (Portable Document Format) document (including saving any modifications to a separate file for such documents);"
    Does this mean that I am NOT allowed to develop a program that both:
    Interfaces with Adobe Reader/Acrobat via the Acrobat SDK for PDF viewing purposes and
    Builds and modifies PDF's using third party component(s)?
    If the answer to the previous question is "YES", that means I can only use the Acrobat SDK in a program that is limited to PDF viewing and printing as far as PDF issues are concerned.  That would be very restrictive for a real world application that involves PDF's, especially when I am supposed to "add significant and primary functionality" as the license aggreement also states.

    How do I go about contacting "Adobe Legal"?
    Also, just to clarify our discussion on some subtle but important points . . .
    I understand that Adobe Reader is just that, a read-only application.  And, I understand that the Adobe solution for modifying PDF's is Adobe Acrobat.  I have components from 3rd parties that let me programatically modify PDF's.  So, from a strictly programming tools point of view, I don't need Acrobat to modify PDF's in my application.  The 3rd party components handle the PDF modification tasks.  I'm not trying to use the Acrobat SDK to modify PDF's, but rather only to view PDF's.
    So, when you say:
    "You can NOT use Reader to view PDF documents as part of a software solution that also modifies the PDF using some other technology"
    Do you mean:
    It is your understanding that using the Acrobat SDK for PDF viewing and 3rd party components for PDF modification in the same application constitutes a violation of the Acrobat SDK License Agreement?
    And when you say:
    "Acrobat, however, does not have this limitation"
    Do you mean:
    Adobe requires licensed Acrobat to be used for PDF modification in any application that uses Acrobat SDK for PDF viewing?  (In other words, PDF modification is where Adobe wants to make a profit.)
    Thanks for your input.

  • Action script error on a button

    I have added following code on a button, btn_lab5, but I get
    an error msg ,"Must appear within on handler". Thanks in advance!!!
    btn_lab5.onRelease=function(){
    gotoAndStop("intro", 1);
    Thanks in advance!!!

    No, I don't have button within a button. But, Thanks for your
    input.
    Fortunately, I have found the solution by changing few things
    around. Here is what I was trying to do..
    1. Four buttons were placed on the same time line 15 frames
    apart.
    2. Added action script at each button and also tried adding
    seperate layer for action script but when I ran my movie same
    script played for every button.
    Finally, got frustrated and placed all the buttons at the
    same point in timeline and added action script by adding another
    layer.Visually I am not getting the desired result with buttons but
    code is working. I would really love to have buttons appear
    gradually on the screen. Let me know if any one of has any thoughts
    to share....
    Thanks a lot!!!!

  • Action Script?

    Hi All,
    I have create a Application for transaction VA01. Can anybody tell me how to write Action script ?
    Please Help. ASAP.

    Hi,
    Transaction code for action script is WDK_APPL_REG
    1) There you need to register your Variant transaction and specify your floor plan
    either QAF or GAF or OIF in Applications.
    2) You have to spcify your different Floor Plan States like INI, S01, S01, CFN etc.
    3) For Floorplan states you should assign dynpro assignment ( i.e., Program name and screen number ).
    4) And u need to assign actions for every state.
    5) Next go to Script definition and assign action script and u need to record va01 transaction with SHDB, and submit program, dynpro, bdc filed value in batchinput data.
    6) If u want to raise any messages, click on Message Mapping and submit message name and number.
    Finally you need to save your action script.
    Best Regards,
    Vara Prasad.
