Adobe Reader SDK?

Is there an adobe reader sdk that would let me do 2 following tasks:
1) A C# .net application can open the .pdf file a user selects from our application and then automatically jump to the page they preselected, say page 10. (As a result, our application should be able to send a command to a pdf viewer [ideally adobe] to goto the page number).
2) Users can use our application to save the page number they select from the pdf document that they have open, so that they can open it at that page at a later time. (As a result, the sdk should enable our application to find the current page number from the pdf viewer)
So in summary:
1) Open a pdf document to a page number
2) Retrieve the current page of an opened pdf document (which is linked back to the first task)
Is this possible?
Any help would be much appreciated!
TIA!

>Is there an adobe reader sdk
There's an Acrobat SDK. A few parts of it also work with Reader.

You can do this if you display the PDF in your own Window. Otherwise,
you'd have to use DDE if it works at all, and I don't think DDE is
accessible to C#.

Not sure you can do that.

  • Using adobe reader SDK to search in PDF

    Hi,
    can someone please help me, iam trying to create a program (using c#) that displays a pdf, and searches for words inside the pdf file, the search iam programming is in arabic language (which is completely different than english).
    i tried to download the sdk, but the problem is that all the search samples needs the acrobat standard or professional.
    i saw something about the plugins and javascript, iam good at javascript, but did not now how to implement the javascript code in c# program.
    by the way, is creating free programs that uses adobe reader as a COM object needs a license? or it is free to distribute?
    Thanks very much.

    >i tried to download the sdk, but the problem is that all the search samples needs the acrobat standard or professional.
    I think that's right. Think of the SDK as primarily a marketing tool
    for Acrobat and the position may be simpler to see.

    You need Acrobat Professional to run JavaScript from an external
    program.
    You could write plug-ins but would need to obtain a special license to
    write plug-ins for Adobe Reader; Acrobat is needed for development.

    Adobe Reader only offers the AxAcroPDF interface. You can freely
    distribute code that uses this interface.
    Note that I am not saying that you can freely distribute Adobe Reader:
    there are some restrictions on this.

  • Reader SDK: any way to see what text the user has selected?

    I'm using the Adobe Reader SDK with C#, looking at the interapplication communication features.
    I can open a document in Reader and allow the user to user the reader tools like select text, etc.
    Here's the problem: I want to have my application know what text the user currently has selected.  And I'd like it to know the name of the field that the user has selected, not just the text of the field.
    Microsoft Office's Interop has something like this:
    currentDocument.GetSelectedText();
    Is there any way to do this with IAC or the javascript or plug-in features of the Reader SDK?
    If not, can it be done with the Acrobat API?  I've looked through both sets of documentation, and haven't found what i needed.
    Thanks for any help!

    To write a plug-in for the Adobe Reader you need to go through 2 separate steps.
    Step one - Download the Adobe Acrobat SDK (from here http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat)
    and build your plug-in against the Acrobat product, following the documentation to make sure you only use API's that are available in the Reader program. The documentation tells you what version of the Adobe ACrobat or Reader program is needed for the function and whether the function can be called in Reader.
    Step two - Apply for a Reader certificate to allow your plug-in to be loaded by the Reader, the link is on the same web page as the above link. This step can be initiated before you have created your plug-in, and I would recommend that you do start this process before you develop your plug-in as Adobe can refuse to give you the certificate in which case all your development would be wasted.
    Only once you have permission form Adobe can you make your plug-in work with the reader application.
    Once you have done both these steps there are plenty of people on this forum that can help you with specific problems you may encounter.
    If you are not sure you have the knowledge to build the plug-in, there are plenty of people that you can hire to create the solution for you.

  • Who can share some Adobe Reader plug-in development documentation besides SDK documentation?

    Hi,
    I want to develop a Adobe Reader plug-in to realize a function that I can delete/insert the pdf file's content when open a PDF file, but the SDK documentation is too indistinct to me, for example: which callback method I should to call? I read the AS_Layer of the SDK documentation, it seems that the PMSetTextProc should be invoke?  How and where should I to invoke this callback method? The SDK documentation doesn't provide a sample.
    Who can share me some more detailed Adobe Reader plug-in development documentation? or who can give me some advice how to read and use the SDK documentation?

    thank you Test Screen Name, thanks for help me these days.
    I want to realize a function, read a encrypted PDF file's content and then decrypt the content, and show the decrypted content in the PDF file when open a PDF file with Adobe Reader. so I need to call a callback method to capture the moment of open PDF file and display it.
    I read the content of Acrobat Core API of SDK documentation, this documentation describe the Portable Document layer as follows:
    PDFEdit methods deal with the physical representation of a PDF document. More specifically, PDFEdit methods handle page content as a list of objects whose values and attributes are modifiable. These methods allow your plug-in or PDF Library application to read, write, edit, and create page contents and page resources, which may contain fonts, images, and so on.
    I look up PDFEdit_Layer in the SDK API,  not found the callback method to response to open PDF file and display content, so I think that may be my idea is wrong.
    Could you point out my mistakes?

  • Where could I get the Adobe Reader Mobile 9 SDK?

    I am develop a windows mobile 6.5 application and want to do some tests on viewing PDF file with the mobile.
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/readermobile/
    I followed as above instruction to mail to [email protected] several times but returned with Mail Failure each time.
    Then where could I get the Adobe Reader Mobile 9 SDK, please? Thanks.
    Besk Regards

    You sure?
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/readermobile/
    According to the text of that link, the Reader 9 Mobile SDK supersedes the 2.5 SDK. The same page has a link ot a request form, which I guess could get the ball rolling for a proper conversation on the SDK and whether Reader 9 Mobile would work for you.
    I just reread your message - obviously you tried there already. I'll have a dig about see if I can rustle up some extra info for you.
    HTH.

  • SDK to allow Searching of documents in Adobe Reader

    Is there an SDK available that will allow for searching a document in  Adobe Reader?  I'd prefer something that can be used in c# or c++.  I  know the DDE and IAC SDKs are available for Adobe Acrobat, but they are  not functional with Adobe Reader.

    I'll specify a bit further. This will need to be an external c#/C++ application, not a plugin.
    lrosenth, I noticed you had mentioned in this post that Reader supports DDE.  In the SDK, there is a sample in VB that uses DDE to perform a query on a document.  I have been unsuccessful in getting this sample to work.  Is there any documentation on using DDE with C++ or C# to interact with Reader?  Any sample code would be greatly appreciated.

  • Adobe Reader iOS SDK

    Is there an sdk for Adobe Reader iOS?

    Hello,
    We have a very simple use case of viewing (just view) the pdf files within the mobile app for both iOS and Android platform. Can you please advise on if Adobe Reader Mobile SDK serves the purpose or if any solution(s) exist either from Datalogics or Bluefire or Bsquare? We are exploring various pdf toolkits and are finding some limitations with these. We would like to stick with Adobe mobile SDK (or any of thextension solutions) that meet our buisness need.
    Appreciate if you can let me know.

  • How to enable forms extenstion for adobe reader using Acrobat SDK?

    Adobe acrobat GUI tool  enables PDF forms designers to extend the use of Adobe Reader and allow the end user to save the PDF form locally using the Reader.
    Is it possible to do the same kind of fuctionality at run time on the server using Acrobat SDK?.
    We are creating several PDF Form on the server, is there any way we can use Acrobat SDK to enable form's extenstions programatically on the server after the PDF is created.
    If Yes How? any code example?

    Not using the Acrobat SDK, no.
    However, Adobe sells the LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server that can be
    used on a server for exactly this purpose.

  • Cannot read a file using Acrobat SDK in Adobe Reader 11 when Enable Protected Mode is checked

    I wrote a plugin using Acrobat SDK which reads a temporary file created by another program in TEMP folder. In Adobe 10, plugin can read the temporary file and everything works. In Adobe Reader 11, plugin fails to read the temporary file when Enable Protected Mode option is checked. When I uncheck this option, everything works fine. Our customers are concerned about disabling this option. Please let me know if there is a workaround for this issue without unchecking the option. Thank you.

  • Adobe DPS Reading SDK: how to get currently displaying page orientation?

    Hi All,
    I've been trying to extract page/article information using the Adobe DPS Reading SDK.
    There is a tutorial (New APIs and features in r30, including folio navigation, article metadata and calendar events | Adobe Developer Connect…) which i've heavily reused but there is on last thing in the puzzle that I need to extract.
    I need to extract the page layout / orientation when displayed on a device.
    adobeDPS.folioDataService only extract article metadata and those methods do not contain any reference to orientation or layout.
    Interesting enough, i was able to locate a "ApplicationState" object which is produced from the ConfigurationService.( Adobe DPS - Reading SDK 2.30 : adobeDPS-ConfigurationService : JsDoc Reference )
    I haven't try this the "orientation" field description is not exactly what i want: "The orientations this view supports."
    I need the:  orientation which i'm currently displaying this page.
    Any thoughts? Should i be using a different SDK?
    Your help is very appreciated.
    Regards

    You can use the javascript native attribute "window.orientation".
    Something like this should work:
        function currentOrientation(){
              switch(Math.abs(window.orientation)){
                   case 90:
                         alert('landscape');
                         break;
                   default:
                        alert('portrait');
                        break;
    window.addEventListener('orientationchange' , function(){ currentOrientation() });
    //Call it first if needed
    currentOrientation();

  • How to print pdf file not using the the adobe reader ?

    hello,
    i used the adobe sdk to open a pdf file in read and modify it serveral times and each time save it to another directory,and now i need to write a program to print the pdf file in this directory.when print the file,i want to continue my work also,so who i tell me how to solve this problem?
    thanks.

    The SDK is only a collection of documentation and headers that show you how to interact with and automate Adobe Acrobat and to some extent Adobe Reader. You need a copy of Acrobat or Reader installed on the system in order to use any of the SDK functions. You cannot "print not using the Adobe Reader", unless you have Adobe Acrobat installed on the system instead of Reader.
