How do I Create Dialogs in the Acrobat SDK?

I need to pop up a registration dialog the first time a user launches Acrobat after my Plug-In is installed. The user will need to enter some user information that I will store in a prefernces file. I do not have much experience with the SDK or VC++, so detailed answers would help me the most.
It looks like the Adobe Dialog Manager (ADM) may be the answer, but I can not find a download for the SDK.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Gregory

Leonard,
My plug-in will be used on both Windows and Mac.
I looked at the wxPlugin example and got it working, but I don't seam to be able to port the code to my plugin. I get a lot of link error that I am trying to work through.
Any suggestions?

How do i create searchable pdfs on acrobat 9

how do i create searchable pdfs on acrobat Pro 9?

Master your content in a text editor (Notepad), a word processor (Word), a page layout application (InDesign) or some application that you do a "File | Print" with. Print to the Adobe PDF virtual printer that is installed with the install of Acrobat (any version). You'll have a seachable PDF. If a PDF has page content that is the image of text (the output of a scanner) use Acrobat's OCR feature to obtain searchable content.
Be well...

How can I find out the screen size of the users moniter using the Acrobat SDK?

How can I find out the screen size of the users moniter using the Acrobat SDK? I need to know how much sreen real estate that is available on the users moniter. Is there some call that I can make from the SDK to discover the maximun X and Y coordinates?
Thanks,
Gregory

Currently, I am testing on multiple moniters and it is defaulting to the moniter designated as the #1 moniter. For our purposes, this is acceptable. Once the two documents have loaded, the user can move and re-size at will.

How can I create cursors within the cursor?

How can I create cursors within the cursor?
Table1 2001 - 2007 data
Account_no
Account_eff_dt
No_account_holder
Num
Seq_Num
Value1
Value2
Table2_Historical (doesn't have Num as a field) 1990 - 2000 data
Account_no
Account_eff_dt
No_account_holder
Seq_Num
Value1
Value2
Table3_06
Account_no
Account_eff_dt
No_account_holder
Num
My result table should be:
Table_result_06
Account_no
Account_eff_dt
No_account_holder
Num
Value1_min (the minimum value for the minimum of record_sequence)
Value2_max (the maximum value for the maximum of record_sequence)
I have to get data from Table1 and Table2_Historical. If one account was open in 1998 and is still effective, the minimum value of that account is in the Table2_Historical.
Let's say I open a cursor:
cursor_first is
select * from table3_06;
open csr_first
loop
fetch cursor_first into
v_Account_no
v_Account_eff_dt
v_No_account_holder
v_Num
EXIT WHEN csr_first%NOTFOUND;
How can I open a second cursor from here that will get the Seq_Num from Table1
csr_second
select Seq_Num from Table1 where
v_Account_no = Account_no
v_Account_eff_dt <= Account_eff_dt
v_No_account_holder=No_account_holder
v_Num = Num
How does it works???
Thanks a lot

Thanks so much for replying back. Here is what I am trying to do.
I have to create a table for each year 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 that has all the account numbers that are active each year plus some other characteristics.
Let’s say I will create Table_result_06. This table will have the following fields. The account number, account effective date, Number of the account holder and the field Num (The primary key is a combination of all 4 fields), the beginning look of value 1 in 2006, the last look of value 1 in 2006.
Table_result_06
Account_no key
Account_eff_dt key
No_account_holder key
Num key
Value1_min (the minimum value for the minimum of record_sequence)
Value2_max (the maximum value for the maximum of record_sequence)
All the active account numbers with the Account_eff_dt, No_account_holder and Num are in the Table3. As such I can build a query that connects Table3 with table Table1 on all 4 fileds, Account_no, Account_eff_dt, No_account_holder, Num and find the Value1_min for the min of req_sequence in 2006 and Value1_max for the max of req_sequence in 2006. Here my problem starts.
Table 1 doesn’t have a new entry if nothing has changed in the account. So if this account was open in 1993 and nothing has changed I don’t have an entry in 2006 but this doesn’t mean that this account doesn’t exist in 2006. So to find the minimum value I have to go back in 1993 and find the max and min for that year and that will be max and min in 2006 as well.
As such I have to go to Table_2 historical and search for min and max. But this table doesn’t have the field NUM and if I match only on the Account_no, Account_eff_dt and No_account_holder I don’t get a unique record.
So how can I connect all three tables, Table 1 for max and min, if it doesn’t find anything will go to table 2 find the two values and populate Table_result_06.
Thanks so much again for your hep,

How do I create a column the same size?

How do I create a column the same size?
I'm concatenating up to 6 cols into one col. If one of the column has a space it will shrink it (I used varchar2 and char) .
e.g: col1= '123456', col2= ' ', col3= ' ',col4= ' 123', col5=' 51',....etc
I want to see them as :colx= '123456', ' ', ' ',' 123',' 51'
Thanks for your help.

You are alomost right,:-)
since OP said :If one of the column has a space it will shrink it (I used varchar2 and char) .
So you should use replace function not trim function.
test > select replace(' a b c ',' ') from dual
2 /
REP
abc
test > select trim(' a b c ') from dual;
TRIM(
a b c

Hi How do we create Methods inside the Business objects of Z

Hi Abapers,
                    How do we create Methods inside the Business objects (z objects) and how *** an import parameter or export parameter to be defined for the new Methods.
Regards
Bhaskar Rao.M

Hi Bhaskar,
that ´s not difficult.
Open your Bus.Obj. in SWO1 with CHANGE/EDIT
Click on the "Methods" header line and then use the button for "Create".
If you want to add the method on basis of a function module, choose next in the next pop up. Then the system will offer you the ex/import parameter from the function module. So this is a really simple way.
If you don´t have a FM, it is a little bit more difficult.
Choose No on the quetion about a FM, fill in the next pop up methode name (no blanks allowed).
Dialogue is for user related method (call screen...) synchronous for methods which have to give back a result directly in to the workflow.
After completing the screen the method will be displayed as new method at the end of method list. Now add parameters (first click on the method name, then choose parameter button, same functionality to add program to the method).
Programm:
Code snip:
BEGIN_METHOD ZWFCHECKMIRO CHANGING CONTAINER.
DATA:
      ZBELNR TYPE RBKP-BELNR,
      ZGJAHR TYPE RBKP-GJAHR,
      RESULT TYPE HRP1001-ISTAT,
      BELNR TYPE BKPF-BELNR,
      GJAHR TYPE BKPF-GJAHR,
      BUKRS TYPE BKPF-BUKRS.
to import parameter
SWC_GET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'Zbelnr' ZBELNR.
SWC_GET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'Zgjahr' ZGJAHR.
*(or SWC_GET_TABLE)
here add the functionality of your method!
to export parameter
SWC_SET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'Result' RESULT.
SWC_SET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'Belnr' BELNR.
*(or SWC_SET_TABLE)
!!! Important: naming convention!!! Use same writing of parameter names in
PARAM area (button PARAMETER) and here in code.
To use your method, change it to implemented after adding your code.
-> Edit -> Change release status -> object type component -> into implemented
(Sorry , have a german screen here, possibly terms are a little bit different.
Hope this helps a little bit.!
regards
Dirk

How do I compress PDF files using Acrobat SDK?

have a web service created in a .net environment that examines existing pdf files in a staging directory prior to sending them over the wire using FTP.
Part of that process requires that I rename individual files in order to associate them with a particular batch.
I also have a requirement to reduce the size of individual files as much as possible in order to reduce the traffic going over the line.
So far I have managed about a 30% compression rate by using an open source library (iTextSharp).
I am hoping that I can get a better compression rate using the Acrobat SDK, but I need someone to show me how, hopefully with an example that I can follow.
The following code snippet is a model I wrote that accomplishes the rename and file compression...
            const string filePrefix = "19512-";
            string[] fileArray = Directory.GetFiles(@"c:\temp");
            foreach (var pdffile in fileArray) {
                string[] filePath = pdffile.Split('\\');
                var newFile = filePath[0] + '\\' + filePath[1] + '\\' + filePrefix + filePath[2];
                var reader = new PdfReader(pdffile);
                var stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileStream(newFile, FileMode.Create), PdfWriter.VERSION_1_5);
                int pageNum = 1;
                for (int i = 1; i <= pageNum; i++) {
                    reader.SetPageContent(i, reader.GetPageContent(i), PdfStream.BEST_COMPRESSION);
                stamper.Writer.CompressionLevel = PdfStream.BEST_COMPRESSION;
                stamper.FormFlattening = true;
                stamper.SetFullCompression();
                stamper.Close();
Any assistance is appreciated.

Create pdf using Adobe acrobat sdk

Hello,
I'm new to this concept of using adobe sdk to convert a html into pdf.I would like to know few details regarding this..
I went thorugh the documentation but I did not get any help about the vector image support in the pdf and I aslo want to know abot the dpi support in the pdf.
I also want to know wether I can create a pdf form a Html page.
thanks for the help.

>I want this to be on the server.
Ok, we can start there - or stop. The Acrobat SDK is for automating
Acrobat. Acrobat must not be installed on a server. So you cannot use
Acrobat.
Adobe have a PDF Library, which can be licensed for server use. But it
does not have any easy HTML to PDF converter.
You might look into LiveCycle PDF Generator, a different application
with a Java API and more, for server use.
>The dpi what I was talking about was..in the pdf i want a logo to appear that would around 200-300 dpi.That logo is a vector image.
This seems a contradiction. PDF files can store text, vector images
and bitmaps/images. If you store a vector image, it remains vector and
there is no dpi to worry about.
HOWEVER if you can only convert HTML
1. HTML does not support any vector formats
2. HTML often forces images to 72 dpi.
HTML is not suitable for print quality.

A question about thread safety and the Acrobat SDK

Hi All,
On page 12 of this FAQ: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/Acrobat_SDK_developer_faq.pdf
It says that Use of any Acrobat product in a multithreaded way is technically impossible.
I'm currently writing a command line application to perform some basic data gathering on a PDF file. The Application only makes use of a PDDoc object, and never calls on any other kind of object (i.e. AVDoc).
The application itself is not multithreaded. All of the logic runs in a single thread.
However, the application will be called (via the command line) from another application that /is/ multithreaded. I think that this might be fine, but I wasn't sure. In this case, would this count as a single thread, but spread across multiple processes? And if that is the case, would that be OK with the SDK?
Or would having multiple invocations/calls into the Acrobat DLLs cause the same issue as a multi-threaded application?
Unfortunately, I haven't done a lot of work with threads before. This might be a very silly question.

The application would be called from a perl script that is used to automate several tasks. The app is a console application, written in C# w/ the Acrobat COM components, and Visual Studio 2005.
The console application uses the Acrobat SDK to instantiate a PDDoc object, open a PDF, and get information about the document. It then returns results back to the console.
So, the perl script just calls: "C:\pdfinfo.exe -f=myPdf.pdf" and pipes the result to a log file.
In this case, it never creates a new instance of the Acrobat application, but it does use the SDK.
The reason that I was concerned was that the perl script is multi-threaded. I wasn't sure if acrobat was just sensitive to multiple threads inside a single process, or if it was unable to handle multiple processes as well.
PDL's answer suggests that I should be fine as long as a new process is started each time. This is good to hear.

What gotchas should we watch out for when porting code from the Adobe SDK to the Acrobat SDK?

What gotchas should we watch out for when porting code from the Adobe SDK to the Acrobat SDK?
... and the other way around?
I have found some evidence that the preprocessor variable PLUGIN seems to prevent macros from includes from being defined. The NPROC and SPROC constructs seem to be involved (partners in crime, if you will).
-Ramon
ps: Please see my related thread "What is the difference between xxProcs.h and xxCalls.h?"

Here's a gotcha that I bumped into:
extern "C" HINSTANCE gHINSTANCE;
I found it in a successfully developed code on the Windows/Plugin side. It is something that I had never used on the APDFL side AND my Windows linker is complaining about several gXXXX missing functions.
IOW: It sounds like the above statement is the solution to my linking problems. Somehow the APDFL seems to take care of the C vs. C++ details.

Can the Acrobat SDK be used to turn off protected mode(Sandboxing mode)?

Can the Acrobat SDK be used to turn off protected mode(Sandboxing mode)?

At times there also seem to be some issues with saving to a network link. When this happens, try saving locally and see if that does the job. Try working on the document locally and see if the issue goes away. If so, then you are dealing with a more complex issue involving networks. Unfortunately, I do not have a solution in that case, but it might be helpful to know if that is the issue.

How do I create a PDF using Acrobat 7.0 in Windows 8 from a Visio drawing on a 64-bit system

I used to be able to create a PDF using Acrobat 7.0 from a Visio drawing in XP. Now I'm running a 64-bit system, no Adobe printer can be installed, and it is unsupported. Help?

On a 32-bit system, there is a workaround. I do not think it is possible to get AA7 to work on a 64-bit system (no one has reported success and only 1 has suggested success with AA8). You may be able to print to a PS file and then open that in Distiller. I suspect that is the only way and you will have to find a decent PS printer driver to do it. I suspect the printer driver (and associated AcroTray) will not work in a 64-bit Win8 -- Acrobat and Distiller may.

How do you create a macro for Acrobat Convert Multiple Reports action in Microsoft Access

I have several reports in microsoft access and I've been able to combine them into a single PDF file using the Acrobat Convert Multiple Reports feature. Is there a way to create a macro for this action? I would like to create a time event for this procedure.
Any help I get on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

CTPetEng,
Since this question is not related to CreatePDF, but rather to Acrobat, I'm moving your question to the Acrobat forum.
