Change toolbar name in Acrobat X SDK

I have a plugin from Acrobat 8 & 9 and when it shows up in X under the tools menu it displays as "Plug-In File". How do I go about customizing the title of this toolbar?

It won't let me post them inline but here is a link: h t t p ://tinyurl.com/42undsp
The "Plug-in" part dissappeared after I ran an update to Acrobat so it now just says "File" which I can only assume is because I have attached the buttons to the file toolbar (this actually makes sense for us). I guess what I need to do is create a custom tool bar and add the buttons to that but I can't seem to make it work. If I'm on the right track with that then any pointers you can give me on creating a custom toolbar that will actually show up in v10 would be great! Thanks.

Change author name in Acrobat reader

I like to change the other name in pdf made in acrobat reader. How and were can I do this. Thanks for any help.

You can't "Make" a PDF using Adobe Reader. It's for viewing/printing.
Generally, author information is placed in the PDF at the time it is created by the software being used by the original document. Either that or it can be added later by using Adobe Acrobat.

Changing Login Name in Acrobat Reader

Is there an easy way to change your login name (the name reader uses as an author name when commenting)?
It is a pretty easy process in Pro, but my Reader uses need to change their author name as well
any help?

Could you be alittle more specific. Because if I try to change the preference entry:
Preferences -> Identity -> Login Name
I will not change, it is locked down. What preference specifically are you changing?

How do I change me edit name in Acrobat 8

Hi, it's me again. I got the Adobe Acro 8 up and running well, but
I'm trying to remove my name which is automatically added to any
changes I make. I followed the manual which says to go to Preferences
and unclick Always Use Log-in name which I did but nothing changed. I
went to Identity in the same place and I can change my name but not my
Login Name which is locked.
Any suggestions?
Best,
Joe

Mac 10.5.8.
Also, since posting I found a reference in the Help manual that said that after I unclicked the Always Use the Log-In Name under Preferences/Commenting I had to add "the default name you specify for author in a comment properties dialogue box." I couldn't find this. But Under File/Preferences/Description Tab/Document Properties I added the initials I wanted to appear on any comments in the Author slot. This seemed to make it work but when I just went back to look at this, what I wrote wasn't there, even though it still works.
Also, while trying to find the comment properties dialogue box I thought they were referring to the Options pull down tab on the sticky note.. When I first pulled this down there was Preferences at the end, which would open a dialogue box that had a tab for General. If I changed my name there to initials, it would change the name of the sticky note where I wrote, but my name would still appear at the top. It had two other boxes for Lock and Set as Default." I clicked those and how the Options pull down changed to "Make Current Properties Default Properties" and it won't open the dialogue box to get at General. Does anyone know how to get that to open again? I'm guessing I locked out out.

Known issue: Cortana will not pronounce your name during setup or when changing your name (Windows 10 Insider Preview SDK and tools, April 2015 release)

Cortana may not speak your name when tapping the "Hear how I'll say it" button when setting up your name for the first time or when changing your name in the settings panel.

There is no workaround for this issue. However, you can still complete the process of setting or changing your name.

Adobe Acrobat 8 SDK...

My company has currently developed a system for capturing 3D model review comments using a simple 2D screen shot functionality. We would like to integrate 3D PDF viewing capabilities into our application; I therefore have a few questions:
1) Is the use of Adobe Acrobat 8 SDK in our application allowed and also is this royalty free? Is there any cost incurred in using it?
2) Once we have added the SDK to our project are we able to remove all toolbars, and all tabs from being visible. Therefore only showing the 3D viewing window?
3) Are we able to call up the Model Tree control in our application?
4) Are we able to add a comment to a 3D element programmable / using code?
5) Are we able to navigate to a comment using code?
6) Are we able to retrieve the name of the item selected either in the 3D viewer or in the Model Tree control?
I look forward to your response.
Thank you in advance.

The Acrobat SDK is a set of tools for automating Acrobat. The SDK is
free, but of course Acrobat (or perhaps Acrobat 3D) has to be
purchased and deployed for each end user.
Sorry, I don't know the capabilities of the SDK in terms of 3D
processing.

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.

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.

HT2513 How do you change the name of a reminder in the reminder list. I right click and then choose "get information" I can change the colour of the reminder but when I type in the name that I want and then press enter the name stays as "untitled".

Jerry,
Thanks for replying again. I've got a little bit further thanks to you. I tried the US keyboard layout as you seemed pretty definte that it should work. This time I applied the setting and also started the language toolbar and selected it from there.
Hey presto, I've got the @ where it should be. Excellent.
However the single quote ' works in a weird way. When I press it, it doesn't show up on the screen. But when I press another key, I get the single quote plus the next key I press. When I press the single quote twice, I get 2 of them. This is also the same with the SHIFT ' key. i.e. for the double quotes.
Very strange. I'll look at other keyboards and see where that gets me.
Thanks, Maz

WxWidgets, Mac and Acrobat 9 SDK

We are having a lot of problems in the Mac using wxWidgets whch have now started using as a cross platform replacement to ADM.
On MacOS 10.4 (Tiger):
Having the sample 'wxPlugin' from the Acrobat 9 SDK samples-folder installed in either Acrobat 9 Pro or Acrobat 9 Reader leads to malfunction in some circumstances.
The two issues we experienced are:
1. You cannot open a PDF from the Finder - it just happens nothing (if Acrobat hasn't been running before, it will start though).
2. You cannot shut down MacOS (or restart it) while Acrobat is running (it doesn't matter if there is any document open) - you have to quit Acrobat manually or "Force Quit".
This is due to the wxInitialize call during the plug-in initialization (a reduced plug-in which does nothing works, but adding the single call to wxInitialize() (nothing more) would lead to the issues described above). The following information should help to reproduce the problem:
1. The 'wxPlugin' sample hasn't been touched apart from adjusting the path to the wxWidgets headers and libraries.
2. For wxWidgets, version 2.8.7 and 2.8.8 has been used, both without success.
3. Both wxWidgets libraries have been build with the following configuration: ../configure --disable-unicode --disable-shared --disable-monolithic --enable-universal_binary
There are several other issues with the wxWidgets sample that may or may not be related to the above problems:
1. The wxWidgets message loop is never called (would be part wxEntry function normally):
2. This has more effects (but only for modeless dialogs, since modal dialogs have their own event queue while active):
a) Messages about entering the window aren't processed -> that would result in e.g. the mouse pointer being not changed, not showing up tooltips etc.
b) Idle events are never called
c) Windows are never deleted - so basically all (including the window controls) remain as memory leaks
The last two (b & c) can be solved by registering an AVIdleProc and calling there wxTheApp->ProcessIdle() ,but some messages still aren't properly processed - so modeless dialogs won't work properly.
This can be easily verified by the Acrobat 9 SDK wxPlugin sample - the mouse cursor doesn't change if you have a document open and you see e.g. the Hand, and you move over the Modeless dialog of the sample. The same is true for tooltips (but they aren't applied in the sample code) - only in certain circumstances, when the window has been active - they will work.
In order to get those events working, a call to wxTheApp->MacDoOneEvent() in the idle procedure would help, but that would make other parts of Acrobat irresponsible, so that is no solution - but might be a hint.

I have a plug-in for Reader 10 written using wxWidgets 3.0 under Mac OS X 10.7 and I have all problems
described in OP post. Issue with sockets is added. (when releasing socket object it has deleted twice sometimes)
In this thread Adobe says that a new wxWidges sample will be coming shortly.
The wxPlugin from SDK 11 samples looks like this:
ACCB1 ASBool ACCB2 PluginInit(void)
#ifndef MAC_PLATFORM
/* The following code is not supported on Mac. */
          wxInitialize();
          mainFrame = new AcrobatFrame;
          wxTheApp->SetTopWindow(mainFrame);
          return MyPluginSetmenu();
#else
return true;
#endif
Is that true that wxWidgets officialy not supported in Acrobat SDK?
Is there some approved and tested technique for proper using of wxWidgets with Acrobat SDK for Mac?

Changing default name of FDF file created by submit button

Hi all,
I was wondering if there was a way to change the default file name used by acrobat when the submit button is clicked. Currently, when a user clicks the submit button on my form, acrobat allows them to generate an FDF file and either save it to their hard drive or attach it to an email, but uses the file name "<name of pdf form>.fdf" I would like to change this to a unique ID that is generated based on form data. I didn't have any problems generating the UID, but I can't figure out how to change the name of the FDF file.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks.
Jose

Do you sign the document before extending the features? If you do then make sure "Lock the Document after signing" checkbox is not checked. Try this:
Clear all signature fields.
Click on the field that you want to sign
"Sign Document" window will appear
In the left bottom corner this check box will appear.
Uncheck it.

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.

Problem in openig some PDF file names in Acrobat Reader

I didn't test in other versions of the OS or with other versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader, but in Windows 7 Enterprise (with SP1) 64 bit, vith virtual apllications service installed, when a PDF file has in the name the letters CR (caps), tries to open Adobe Acrobat Reader with the VAppLaucher and says
"Before proceeding you must first lauch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User Licence Agreement",
even with the normal Adobe Acrobat Reader already configured in the local machine.
As soon as I change the name of the PDF file, it works without any problem.

Hi,
This bug was fixed with the latest release of Adobe reader i.e. Version 10.1.1 (Please refer to the Bug Fixes section in http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_10.1.1.pdf).
Please update to the latest version, by clicking on Help > Check For Updates or try downloading the patch from: http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.1/misc/AdbeRdrUpd1011.msp

Changing the name of the form when attached to an email

Good Day All;
I am wondering if there is a way to change the name of an attachment when the email button is clicked.
Let me explain.
I have designed a form that will be emailed from one are to another and when the email button is clicked the email attachment is named (example) “_150s2140t32f8b0iu.pdf”. Of course this is a meaningless name. I would like to somehow change this to better represent the name of the form.
Thanks for any suggestions
Thanks
Chomp

Hi Chomp,
It sounds like you are clicking the email button when in Preview in LC Designer. When the form is being Previewed it is given a temporary name. If the form is opened in Acrobat directly, does the email button attached the form with the proper/full name?
If you want the form to be given a named based on user's inputted data, then you will need a trusted function (.js file) on every user's computer. See this discussion: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2266799#2266799.

Dinamically change the name of a field.

Dear all,
Here is my problem.
I have a 3 text fields wraped in a subform.
I have also created a button so I can add new instance of this sub form at runtime.
All that works nice.
However, I also have a HTML subbmit button, and when I submit the form to my script, I only get the last instance of the fields in the subform mentioned above.
I am not sure what is the best solution for that.
I thought that on option is if while adding the new instances of the subform, I can also dinamically change the name of the fields, so for example
in the first instance of the subform I will have fieldname2 then in the second I will have fieldname2 and then when I submit I will get both, not just the last one.
But apperantly I do not know how to dinamically change the name of the field as well.
Any help will be really realy helpful
Thank you very much

Hi Dhiyan,
Thanks for raplying.
Your suggestion does work in the way that id does change the caption of the fields dinamically.
However, looks like when I use the HTML submit button the form still submits the data only in the last fields of the repeated subform and their names have not changed.
Probably when you say that the name of the field is its caption you mean just a static text. But I am refearing to fields where you can enter data inside.
Basically, what I am trying to do, is to be able to dinamically create a table in my acrobat form.
This table has let say 2 fields: InstanceNumber and YearOccured.
So when I lets say add 3 instances in my acrobat form, I want to user to click an HTML submit button, and then through a PHP script I can submit all the 3 instance to a database.
However, when I check the REQUEST array, I only see these 2 fields once (instead of 3 times) and they contain the data of the last added row.
I assume that the problem could be solved if I can somehow change their names while I add rows.
So for example in the first row I will have:
InstanceNumber_1 and YearOccured_1
in the second:
InstanceNumber_2 and YearOccured_2
and in third
InstanceNumber_3 and YearOccured_3
And so when I submit the form it will submit the data of all the rows.
I am not sure if that is possible though. But definatelly I do not know how to do it ))
What I did to go around this is:
I have created 2 other (hidden) fields.
And when I click the submit button, before I do the actuall submit, I take the data from all 3 rows one by one and I put i in this hidded fields as (tab) delimited. And so now I have in my REQUEST array all the data from all 3 rows, in a single tab delimited field. And then I can work it out from there with PHP to submit it where ever.
However, I was hoping for some little more elegant solution, that is if I can change the names and so have all the fields data submitted. Or any other good suggestion
If anyone knows, will buy you a beer )
Thanks again
