Plug-in development standard or professional?

Hi all,
Our company develops plugins for Acrobat X professional. We are planning to upgrade multiple machines to Acrobat XI. The SDK documentation states "Plug-ins for Acrobat Standard do not have access to some APIs". But we are unable to find out which API's. Apparently the documentation does not include this information. For example we also work in the COS-Layer, is this supported in the standerd acrobat? There is also no trail version of Acrobat Standard XI, thus there is no way to test if our plugins work with Acrobat Standard XI
Could someone point us in the right direction? Any help would be appreciated!
Regards,
Robert

I've never found out, nor yet hit an API which wasn't there. The Cos, PD, AV, PDFEdit APIs are there for sure. I think you'd be looking for APIs which hook to completely missing features e.g. if there is an API to preflighting, it would only be in Pro since preflighting is only in Pro. I think you'll really just need to bite the bullet and buy a copy.

Which license type do we need to buy, standard or professional?

We have been helping a customer to develop a web based system built around Flash media server.
For our work we have used the developer edition. Things are going well and now our customer is now looking to go live and so wants to purchase a full media server license, however we are not sure which particular license they should purchase, either Standard or Professional ?
From looking at the product specification it would appear standard would seem to be the one but we make use of action script to create custom “applications” on the FMS server, some of which are used to record the session and the specification about what is available in professional isn't totally clear.
Finally is possible to upgrade from standard to professional at a later date if we end up picking the wrong one by mistake?

Hello, you’d definitely need a Professional licence for these types of apps (provided you use custom Server-Side ActionScript code). To avoid an erroneous situation with the licence – Standard edition is good for streaming media to a whole plethora of devices, but it can’t store custom code, can’t record streams from Flash Player, and doesn’t support rtmfp connections (p2p commu8nication).

Ducallbacks.h and Acrobat SDK XI Plug-in Development

I am new to plugin development and am in the process of upgrading a plug-in developed under Acrobat 5. The SDK XI API documentation under "Plug-ins and Applications > Developing Plug-ins and Applications > Understanding Plug-ins > About plug-in initialization > Handshaking" references the DUCallbacks.h header file.
I have that header file in the Acrobat 5 SDK, but I do not see it in the current Acrobat XI download and I don't see any usage of it in the SDK XI samples. Am I missing files or is Ducallbacks.h no longer part of the SDK? If it's not a part of the SDK any longer, is there an updated version of the plug-in developer's guide that discusses handshaking under the current SDK? I have searched the Adobe site and not found anything newer than what's included in the SDK download.
Thanks!

Thank you. It is disappointing that Adobe is releasing an obsolete document with the Acrobat XI SDK. I wasted several hours trying to track this down. I will use the sample code from here on.

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?

Security question about opening PDFs in Reader as opposed to Standard or Professional

Our ITC wants us to open all downloaded PDFs in Acrobat Reader 9 as opposed to Acrobat 7.0 Standard. We currently have both. We download a lot of PDFs and frequently need to Reduce File Size or extract pages, etc. I am hoping to upgrade my Acrobat 7.0 Standard to Professional 9.
Is there a valid security reason to always open first in Reader? Based on what I have read Acrobat Reader 9 and Professional 9 both had security risks and it is my understanding that a patch has been released today.
Is there a security risk still for Acrobat Professional 9 and is there a security risk for Acrobat Standard 7.0? Does requiring us to download, save and open PDFs in Reader 9 first make sense from a security standpoint?
Thanks very much for any input.

I don't remember any claims that Reader was safer than Acrobat. I use Acrobat exclusively and Adobe recommends against installing both due to conflicts (they use a lot of the same files). The biggest factor to be careful about is to not open any attachments or applications that may be built in. These can be put in the PDF and both Acrobat and Reader open such tools. I would tend to question the basis for the IT folks decision, particularly based on the Adobe recommendation and problems that it creates. At least that is my opinion.

Browser Plug-in development with Java

Hiya!
My company wants me to develop a plug-in for different browsers (e.g. Internet Explorer, Mozilla, etc.) running on different platforms (e.g. Windows, Linux, etc). My first thought was that I should develop that plug-in in Java.
But how to develop a browser specific plug-in in Java? Can I use the Java plug-in provided by Sun for Internet Explorer? Do you think a browser specific plug-in developed in Java meets performance issues. Does anybody have a good idea to avoid long downloading time of JRE if not installed?
Did someone developed a browser specific plug-in in Java?
Or is it the better way to step back to C/C++ and develop an ActiveX component, ...
Please help me out ...
Best regards
Gerhard

Sun provides java plugin support for major OS's and Browsers. They also provide a helpful utility (HTMLConverter) which converts current HTML documents with <APPLET> tags to the corresponding TAGs the plugin utilizes (<OBJECT> for IE and <EMBED> for Netscape).
Do you think a browser specific plug-in developed in Java meets performance issues?
The main bottleneck occurs when the applet requires a plugin to be loaded. If loaded over the Internet on a dialup line, this can be substantial. I am testing on an intranet and it takes about 20 seconds to load the jre.
Here is a link to get started with:

Pete,
PS I happen to be using the java plugin myself for the firt time and have run into a problem with installing it for Netscape on Linux. If you have successfully done this I would appreciate any advice. Below is a link to my post regarding the problem.

Where has Menu Item : "Edit Links..." within MSP (Standard or Professional) 2007 gone to in version 2010 and/ or 2013 ?

Hi folks,
Can someone please tell me where I can find the "Links..." menu item in version 2010 and ver. 2013 that is under the EDIT menu, up until MS Project (Standard or Professiona) version 2007 ?
Just as a refresher, the Links dialog window has an Update Now,
Open Source, Change Source..., and Break Link
buttons, etc.
Thanks in advance,

Office 2004 standard or professional?

I am wondering if I should get Office standard or professional. The cost is not so much an issue, since I can have a student deal with my school (for the MS Student Select Office 2004, standard or pro).
I know the basic difference is that the professional version has Virtual PC, but I'm not sure I 1) understand what it does 2) if it's worth the additional memory space needed to install it.
Thank you for helping me!

The only difference between Standard and Professional is VirtualPC.
What it does (VirtualPC):
Allows you to run a copy of Windows (in a window) on your Mac. And it will facilitate sharing files between your Mac and this copy of Windows. It's useful if there is some Windows only program that you absolutely need (or want) to run on your Mac.
Is VirtualPC worth it: That depends. If you need Virtual PC to get work done than yes, it's worth it. If you don't NEED it, but just want to run a Win only game or app, then sure, again, it's worth it.
The fact that you are asking what VirtualPC is though, pretty much suggests you don't need it. Not to offend, but if you needed the program you would already know what VirtualPC does.
Hope that helps.

ABAP Webdynpros Development standards

Hi ALL
Does any body has any Documents regarding development standards for ABAP Webdynpors..
Thanks in advance any help will be much rewarded.
cheers
AJ

Hello Friend,
It is a good practice for individual firm to define their own standards. In addition, such a document would be an intellectual property of the firm and would not be a good idea for anyone to share it on a forum.
Defining the standard is a relatively easy process. Please make sure you have the contribution from the development team in this process since it is them who is going to use it.

Software Development Standards?

hi,
according to what software development standards (FDA, ISO, IEC 62305, ...) is the Oracle database (10g XE) developed - does anyone know?
sorry, if this does not belong in this forum, but i couldn't find a better place...
thanks,
andrea

Ah.
The better way to go about this is to contact Oracle (or whoever the vendor is) directly and get reference to their certificate of worthiness for your industry.
I'd be willing to bet that Oracle has a 'trusted vendor verification' already in place for the industry. And a further bet that it ain't going to depend on the development standards as much as Oracle's demonstration that it works under strict test conditions.
