Compiled Acrobat plugin for XMP

I would like to test the example plugin that insert XMP comments in Acrobat 5 but do not have the environment to compile it.
Could someone attach a compiled version to test?

Before I run Acrobat SDK, I need full Acrobat install. Very few users in our company have full Acrobat Install. Our objective is write a program that can be used on server to process hundreds of PDF files. PDF files will be on server, but there may not be any Acrobat Reader. Is it possible to do that using XMP?

Is there an Adobe Acrobat plugin for FireFox/Mac OSX?

Any of you are aware of Adobe Acrobat Plugin for FireFox on Mac OSX? There seem to be one FireFox PDF Plugin for Mac X. But am looking for Adobe plugin.
Thanks,
Raj

Hi ..
You can use the pre installed Preview app for editing .JPEG files.
Preview is located in your Applications folder.

Adobe Acrobat Plugin for Chrome in MAC

Hi
I can't get Chrome to display PDFs in the browser using Adobe's plugin. In fact, the plugin does not appear at all in the about:plugin list in Chrome 11.
Can you please confirm if chrome has a issue with this Plugin in MAC

Hi Madhavi,
Currently on Mac with Acrobat/Reader X, the only supported browser for viewing pdfs in browser window itself is Safari.
You can find all the details regarding compatible web browsers and pdf-maker plugins at : http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333504.html

Acrobat Plugin for Firefox

Since Acrobat is basically a security hole, I would like to avoid having the plugin enabled by default for Firefox.
Despite my attempts to disable the Acrobat Firefox plugin it keeps reenabling itself in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
Please fix your software.

Hello Pat,
Thanks for your answer and yes I do. Have a look at the following screen shot.
May be you can reproduce my expirence by looking at the following files
http://www.blog.fitservice.de/wp-content/polar_bedienungsanleitungen/s510deu.pdf
http://support.polar.fi/PKBSupport.nsf/42256C2B001E0F6A42256BC6003B2FA0/$FILE/179407%20Man ual%20S520%20S510%20DEU%20A.pdf
The content of these two files is identical, the main difference from my view is one has embedded fonts and the other does not.

FireFox 10.0.7 w/Adobe Acrobat plugin 10.1.4.38 issue

Hello, everyone.
Our internal network systems have two browsers - IE8 and FireFox10. The IE8 browsers have security settings so high that the Acrobat plugin for it isn't even installed. When viewing a PDF in IE8, the browser relinquishes viewing to Adobe Reader. This presents a problem, as we have a Solr Collection indexing over 1,000 PDFs making them searchable, and when opened in a browser the PDF highlights and keeps track of where the keywords are located within.
So we fall back to FireFox for viewing PDFs. The search function works most adequately.
But FireFox10 with Adobe Acrobat plugin 10.1.4.38 has another issue: hyperlinks.
The PDFs were all created in Word 2007 using the Adobe PDFMaker plugin for Office, "Save As PDF", not "Print to PDF". While the Reader will automatically parse an FQDN, making it a live, clickable link that will open a browser to said FQDN, FireFox will NOT. The FQDN is blue and underscored, so it looks like a link, but clicking it produces nothing.
We discovered (with some experimenting) that if a FQDN in Word is highlighted, copied, right-clicked and "Hyperlink" selected, then pasted into the proper field, then the link will work in FireFox.
As I stated, we have over 1,000 of these PDFs, and we don't have the resources to edit every single one looking for FQDN text and performing the above operation.
So, I guess what I asking is: will a future Acrobat plugin for FireFox automatically parse FQDN links?
What options do I have in order to make the links work in FireFox, until then?
Thank you,
^_^

This is an on going issue that been going on for close to 15 years between Microsoft and Adobe.
Try Opening Fire Fox and Upgrading to the latest version.
Next upgrade to at least Acrobat . I've already upgraded to XI
Maybe after 15 years the issue has been taken care of.
dobe claims (for 15 years That Mac Office doesn't have the proper Hooks for hot Links).
The odd thing is that Office11 is a Direct port of Office2007/2010 with code changes only for the Mac interface.
If it's still an issue then its an Issue that Adobe is lazy and don't want to fix it.
If your using a Mac you can open that same PDF on a PC and the links work.

Using XMP Lib in a plugin for CS5.0 Windows

Hello
I have been able to compile the XMP-Toolkit-SDK-5.1.2 and use it successfully in a plugin for CS5.0 Mac OS X.

Hi Pontus.
You're probably mixing static libraries with shared.

I would like to create a plugin for adobe acrobat pro 9.0...

I would like to create a plugin for adobe acrobat pro 9.0 in order to compare pages, delete the same pages and mark pages from first compared document with new and mark pages from second compared document with original. I downloaded the SDK for adobe 9.0 but now I am not sure how to continue? Do I need Visual Studio or can I use another program that is a freeware? What other program do you recommend? How can I open an .api file in order to see the code? Do I need to place the SDK files in a specific place?

1. You will need Visual Studio. Getting your first plug-in to compile can be an ordeal, be sure to use a sample project and work with it exactly.
2. API files are the work of other programmers. You cannot look inside, and to try to do so is a breach of most software licenses.
3. API files are installed to the Acrobat plug-ins folder.
4. You will not find samples or code to copy/paste. You should be an experienced C/C++ programmer, you should be familiar with the basics of the PDF file format ISO 32000-1, and you should be prepared to read thousands of pages of documentation.

2D Barcode Plugin for Acrobat 7.0

Hopefully a simple question...
Can anyone help me to find a free 2D Barcode plugin for Arobat 7 Professional, please?
My situation...
I have a vendor program that sends data to a form. I can create new forms and select the data that I want to map to it. The information is mostly numeric such as an Identification number and date. This information is then entered into a long term storage system.
To eliminate data entry errors and to save some time, I would like to add a barcode (pdf417) to the document so it can just be scanned.
I saw that it was possible to create a form in designer, but the fields do not seem to work the same way as in professional, because data will not map to them.
If I could take the barcode piece from designer and put it in acrobat, it would be perfect.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Acrobat X: Is there an ABBYY FineReader plugin for better OCR accuracy?

Acrobat X's OCR capability is not very good. Based on my testing and comparisons, ABBYY FineReader's OCR capability is much better! Is there a FineReader plugin that can be added to Acrobat X for better OCR accuracy? If not, can this be a possibility in the future?

ABBYY FineReader is often better, but sometimes Acrobat OCR is better. On some texts Acrobat recognizes word boundaries where FineReader returns multiple consecutive words as a single very long word.

Adobe Acrobat Plugin in Firefox 29.0 for Windows 8.0 does not print documents. Why?

I opened a document in Adobe Acrobat plugin version 11.0.6.70 in Firefox 29.0 for Windows 8.0 and attempted to print the document, but all I got was a blank sheet of paper. So I saved the Adobe document to my hard drive. I then opened that Adobe document in Adobe outside of Firefox. Adobe printed that document just fine. Firefox was just updated to version 29.0 a day or two ago. Prior to that I did not have any problems printing Adobe documents from within Firefox. Why did the Adobe 11.0.6.70 plugin not print the document from within Firefox 29.0?

hello, you might not actoally print with the acrobat plugin but with the built-in firefox pdf viewer which unfortunately currently has this blank page printing bug - this is investigated by our developers. in the meantime you could use a third-party pdf plugin that you can enable in the firefox ''options > applications'' - scroll down and define the default action for the '''portable document format (pdf)'''.

Acrobat plugin on MAC for a signature device

We are currently using a signature device from Topaz Systems Inc., on windows successfully. Topaz has a plugin for Adobe on windows, however there is none for MAC.
Is anyone aware of any signature device on the MAC, that works with Adobe ?

Hey davem94308135,
Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat are you using.
Have you tried repairing Acrobat and checked if the issue persists.
Let me know.

Plugins for Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. Where are they??

In Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Software on the menu bar open Help > About Adobe Plugins. A list of installed and/or available plugins for the program are displayed and marked certified. However, several of the plugins listed are also listed as not installed. It appears plugins are downloaded by default during initial installation since I hadn't actually contributed to the list's contents. There doesn't seem to be a way manage plugins? Where are these missing plugins and how do I install them. Please advise only if you know the answer. I am running Win7 64bit.

Plugins are stored in the folder plugins of Acrobat. Not all plugins are loaded at startup of Acrobat.

Plugin for Acrobat Reader cannot use DigSig methods?

Hi,
I have an acrobat plugin created using acrobat sdk 9, registered using PubSec. Now, i want to make it run for adobe reader aswell. but i read the following somewhere:
You may not use the Adobe Reader key to develop or enable your plug-in or any other software or hardware to perform or enable any of the following:
Add functionality to Adobe Reader that is substantially similar to functionality in commercially available Acrobat products
Accept navigational commands from an application other than Adobe Reader
Create, remove, or modify any Enabling Rights (including but not limited to permissions added to a PDF file with a product such as Adobe LiveCycle™ Reader Extensions (formerly Adobe Reader Extensions Server)
Save or modify any Acrobat file (including without limitation PDF, FDF, or annotation)
Extract and save any content from a PDF file (other than submitting form data to a remote server)
Use any APIs from the Forms or DigSig Host Function Tables (HFTs)
Modify the appearance of Adobe Reader
Remove the menu item that calls up the "About" screen in Adobe Reader
Implement a Replacement File System (RFS) for Adobe Reader"
Does this mean that i cannot use a plugin registered using DigSig HFT OR that i cannot use DigSig methods in my plugin, which i have used generously?
If the latter, then does this mean i'll have to remove all DigSig method usage from my plugin?
Thanks

It means you need a special Reader-enabling license. When you send in your Reader IKLA (integrated key license agreement) you need to specify that you are doing something related to DigSig so that they can send you the revised agreement and pricing model.

Can I do this with a plugin for Reader?

Hello, I'm totally new to Adobe Reader development and I'm in the need to develop a plugin for Reader that must implement certain functionality. Before starting, I think it's better to ask to the experts if what I want to do is possible or if what I need goes beyond what the Adobe API provides. So, if you're so kind, I'd like you to check the list of needed features and please tell me if they can be fulfilled with a Reader Plugin.
The plugin must work for Adobe Reader 7,8,9 and 10. It's not a problem if I need to develop a plugin for each version.
When the user tries to print a document, I will block/cancel the printing process depending on which document is tried to be printed (the full path to the document will be needed).
I need traceability in "Save as" and "Save as text" features, if the user saves a copy of "c:\file.pdf" into "c:\file - copy.pdf" I need to know both the source and the destiny of the save as operation. Same for any kind of "export to format x" operations if possible.
I need to be able to communicate with another module via named pipe to periodically send information. This might require dinamically loading a DLL and calling its methods.
[Optional] I need to restrict the use of the clipboard depending on the documents opened in Reader, i.e. don't allow to copy if a certain document is opened.
[Optional] If a document is exported via file printer (like Microsoft xps printer), I need traceability on this operation. I'm really pesimistic about this one.
Also, I'm assuming that retrieving the list of opened documents, or the "active" document will be possible at any time. Please, correct me if wrong.
Thank you very much for your time, for reading and helping. Im' not asking you to tell me how to implement every single feature, I just need to know if I will be able to implement them when I get some knowledge.
Have a great day. Greets.
Message was edited by: fernandoarrabal reason: bad phrasing

Two things.
First – Adobe no longer supports Reader 7 or 8, so you would be on your own for those.
Second, in order to develop a plugin for Reader you need to obtain a license from Adobe. Details and forms are in the Acrobat SDK. Start this process ASAP as that will tell you whether you will be able to do your plugin or not.

How can i create a plugin for adobe in design CS3

i'm trying to make a plugin to use it in adobe Indesign CS3 program but i can't
i'm using Windows 7
i had tryed to make a plugin using Eclips with indesign plugin editor and Visual studio C++ but i can't as i can;t find where can i write my code and there is also an error while debuging is that :
<error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code from "Performing Custom Build Step">
after working out this error "by adding the directory of Odfrc.exe in tools->VC++ Directories->executable file" another error raise to me :
<Unknown compiler version - please run the configure tests and report the results> and the visual studio raise message box to me to specify the name of the executable file to be used for the debug session
i don;t know wat can i do know all i need to create a plugin for indesign program so could any one help me ??

Each version of the SDK has very specific demands for the compiler setup, and this in turn relies heavily on the operating system. The CS3 SDK probably was based on a much older version of Visual Studio.
Compare your toolchain against the requirements that should be stated somewhere in the CS3 documentation. It's a solid bet you are years ahead -- there simply is no reason for Adobe to keep on supporting all OSes and compilers that continue to appear, for a version of InDesign that's by now 2.5 versions old.
