JavaScript documentation in Acrobat 10 SDK

I just wanted to say a big Thank You to Adobe for providing the Acrobat 10 JavaScript documentation in PDF. This is very much appreciated!

..ahh, but ADBC wasn't removed from the documentation. It was removed from *some* of the documentation.
There's still reams of stuff in the current build of the SDK docs which haven't been updated since A9.1, but part of the fun is to learn which bits are wrong. Think of it as a test of intuition.

Documentation for Acrobat X Javascript?

Where is documentation for Javascript in Acrobat X? The help file mentions:
"For more information, see the JavaScript™ for Acrobat® API Reference on www.adobe.com/go/learn_acr_javascript_en (PDF, English only).", but the linked page does not contain any information for Acrobat X.

I do not think there have been any changes to Acrobat JavaScript in Acrobat X, so all the documentation for Acrobat 9 should work. There is an SDK for Acrobat X Portfolios that might have some new JS objects.
I still reference the version 8 reference and the version 5 reference.

Acrobat 9 SDK Documentation as PDF

Hi,
where can i found the Acrobat 9 SDK Documentation as PDF File?
PDF is offline better to handle (Search, ...) then Documents in HTML Format.
Adobe should know this!
Klaus

Ok, i read
If Adobe cannot produce PDF from his Word Processing Programm in which the SDK-Dokumentation People write the Dokumentation, then thats very poor.
I don't belive that this Programm has only the HTML Output.
Klaus
PS:
In the past you can see, that Framemaker was used for Dokumentation.

How to install or enable Acrobat X SDK for Windows

Ok down that I have downloaded Acrobat X SDK for Windows.
DUUUU How do I install it?? The only setup.exe is located in Visual Studio App Wizard.
I have Professional X.....do I add it from this program some how?
thanks
mike

There is nothing to install as such.
SDK is basically set of public headers , documentation related to them and some samples to demonstrate the usage of these public APIs to write third-party plugins/samples.
You can write your own Acrobat/Reader plugin/App using the SDK.
The setup.exe you found is the plugin-wizard which will install template for Acrobat Plugin on VS9. If you are developing on VS9, it will be useful for you to install this template.
Please refer to the SDK Documentation for the details on how to use the SDK (for writing plugins).

Error using Acrobat portfolio SDK with Flash Builder

Hi all
I've been trying to customize a navigator portfolio for Adobe Acrobat X using Flash Builder 4.5. I was running this proyect as Navigator but I received the following Flash Player error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I've installed Acrobat portfolio SDK into Flash Builder and I have followed the documentation of Building a Navigator from http://learning.adobe.com

Ok, finally got this working. Many hidden gotchas.
1. You have to make a Trust File for your custom panel. This is actually in the SDK, around page 53, so my bad -- but the problem is that there is no feedback from the Adobe application if you don't have this. The application just hangs. It should produce an error message "can't find trust file, etc.". This should not be that hard to implement.
2. The latest Flex SDK does not seem to work in Bridge CC or other similar applications. You have to use Flex SDK 3.x, apparently, and this is NOT in the documentation. Not only should you set the default SDK in Flex Builder to 3.x (I'm using 3.6) but you have to edit the build.properties file to make sure it's pointing to the correct folder, eg: C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 (64 Bit)/sdks/3.6.0. Fortunately Flash Builder 4.7 comes with 3.6 installed. If you have an older version, it's likely to be completely different.

JavaScript actions in Acrobat Reader

Hi,
Is it possible to create a bookmark with a form button and a javascript action in Acrobat Reader?
Is it possible to create a report with a form button and a javascript action in Acrobat Reader?
These actions are possible in Acrobat but in Acrobat Reader, I don't know.

The JavaScript documentation tells you this information for each
method. Does the documentation seem to be wrong? (See the "quick bar")

Can't get to the JavaScript documentation

I downloaded the Acrobat 9 SDK and unzipped the file. When I go to the Documentation folder and try and extract the help package from the zipped file it gets part way through then I get a message saying Windows Explorer is restarting. I get only part of the files.
I'm working at home on a Vista machine. Has anyone else had problems? I downloaded the Acrobat 9 SDK on my XP machine at work this past Thursday and everything works fine.

Adobe acrobat java sdk is available? if yes then its possible to convert pdf to word

adobe acrobat java sdk is available ? if yes then its possible to convert pdf to word(doc)

There is little interest in automating Acrobat with Java, since it cannot be run on a server. On a client workstation, OLE is available, and perhaps Java can use that.
(JavaScript is of course another story).

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.
Andrzej

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.

Plugin created using C++ 6 and Acrobat 6 SDK Not Working in Windows

I have an Acrobat plugin compiled in Visual C++ 6 using Acrobat 6 SDK. The plugin works flawlessly in Acrobat versions 6 to 9 in Windows XP. While the plugin is able to add a menu iterm and tool bar icon in Windows 7, it causes Acrobat to hang everytime when activated in which event I have to close Acrobat. Since Visual C++ 6 is a 32 bit app, I have to believe that Acrobat 6 SDK is responsible for the behavior described herein in attempting to get the plugin to work in Windows 7. Any comments or suggestions regarding what Visual C++ version to use along with the appropriate Acrobat SDK to get the plugin to work in Windows 7 are appreciated. In doing so, I would also be interested in knowing what backward compatibility one may expect w/regard to previous versions of Acrobat in updating the plugin to work in Windows 7. As for the answer, correct me if I am wrong but I'm thinking Acrobat 9.

Adobe hasn't supported Acrobat 6, VC6 or the Acrobat 6 SDK for at least 5 years. You will need to move to the Acrobat 9 SDK if you wish support.
And Acrobat 9 and its SDK are fine with Windows 7.

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?

Is it possible to use Acrobat 9 sdk to check accessibility?

Is it possible to use Acrobat 9 sdk to check accessibility of a pdf and get whether the pdf is accessible or not?
I've found InvokeAccessibilityCheckerCmdSnip.cpp that seems to call accessibility validator, but I don't know if that will make what I need.
I've been asked to include an accessibility validation utility in a Content Server after loading a pdf.
Thanks in advance.

Post your question in the 'Acrobat Developers SDK' forum.

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.

Acrobat X SDK Prerelease Starting Soon

The Acrobat X SDK will be starting soon and we're actively seeking testers. There will be a very brief, 3 week prerelease program starting on January 17th, 2010 and continuing through to February 4th. If you are interested in joining this program, please send an email to [email protected]
Also, don't forget that the Adobe Acrobat Portfolio SDK prerelease version is available on Adobe Labs now.

Acrobat X custom panels are still compatible to Acrobat 8/9.
You can neither use the File Info SDK CS4 nor CS5.
To create a custom panel, please use this package on DevNET.
