Reader SDK: any way to see what text the user has selected?

I'm using the Adobe Reader SDK with C#, looking at the interapplication communication features.
I can open a document in Reader and allow the user to user the reader tools like select text, etc.
Here's the problem: I want to have my application know what text the user currently has selected.  And I'd like it to know the name of the field that the user has selected, not just the text of the field.
Microsoft Office's Interop has something like this:
currentDocument.GetSelectedText();
Is there any way to do this with IAC or the javascript or plug-in features of the Reader SDK?
If not, can it be done with the Acrobat API?  I've looked through both sets of documentation, and haven't found what i needed.
Thanks for any help!

To write a plug-in for the Adobe Reader you need to go through 2 separate steps.
Step one - Download the Adobe Acrobat SDK (from here http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat)
and build your plug-in against the Acrobat product, following the documentation to make sure you only use API's that are available in the Reader program. The documentation tells you what version of the Adobe ACrobat or Reader program is needed for the function and whether the function can be called in Reader.
Step two - Apply for a Reader certificate to allow your plug-in to be loaded by the Reader, the link is on the same web page as the above link. This step can be initiated before you have created your plug-in, and I would recommend that you do start this process before you develop your plug-in as Adobe can refuse to give you the certificate in which case all your development would be wasted.
Only once you have permission form Adobe can you make your plug-in work with the reader application.
Once you have done both these steps there are plenty of people on this forum that can help you with specific problems you may encounter.
If you are not sure you have the knowledge to build the plug-in, there are plenty of people that you can hire to create the solution for you.

    You might look at the Selected Cursors property. It indicates which
    cursors will be acted upon by the movement palette. It should be
    equivalent to the small LED buttons on the cursor palette.

  • I'm wondering is there any way to see what tool is selected in full screen mode?

    Question: Is there any way to see what tool is selected in professional full screen mode when tools and windows are hidden?
    Here's an example what i mean..i made a sketch
    So what i mean is for example you are in full screen mode, and you press "U" to activate Rectangle Tool >>> you see like pop-up or anything similar that shows you what tool is selected.
    Thank you!

    you need iPhoto v9.2 or Aperture 3.2 to view the stream on your Mac.

  • Is there any way to see a text history from an Iphone???

    Is there any way to see a text history from an Iphone that has been synced to Itunes account???

    SMS's are not synced through iTunes. Your SMS history is stored on your phone and also included as part of your iPhone backup. To view SMS's on your computer requires either extracting them from your phone or from your iPhone backup. Either or requires third-party software, as such is not supported by Apple. clayfromherriman has given you a way to extract from your backup. To extract from your phone, you can use this:

  • Any way to see ios exchange email user picture like in outlook on my iphone?

    Any way to see ios exchange email user picture like in outlook on my iphone?

    There are 2 ways that the contacts are being pulled down to your phone/tablet with Exchange.  Your personal contacts (those created in Outlook) will pull down any picture that you have uploaded to it (be cautious of the file size on these as the initial sync will take a long time to pull these down) - and it appears nicely for caller ID and such.
    If you are talking about the Global Address Book lookup - this is a setting that is in both Exchange and AD that could be preventing this.  Our company has turned this off for privacy concerns - and they have restricted the size limits on the pictures (this was overloading some of the other collaboration clients for those that had numerous people in their groups - like Lync or SharePoint).
    We have suggested that people who want pictures of co-workers create a personal contact card for them and attach them there.  We are using Exchange 2010 SP3 in this scenario.

  • Is there any way to see what Guest connections are active?

    You can browse it a little more easily with TextWranger. You can also search it:

  • Can i see what questions a user has answered incorrectly??

    Hi
    We have various Captivate training modules that are placed on a GeoLearning LMS.
    All the modules have 5 Questions at the end. The quiz preferances are set up in such away that the user is required to get 100% to pass and is allowed to retake the quiz one more time if they fail first time round.
    My issue is that some of our users in Malaysia are failing the course even after the second attempt.... yes its fine and simpl enough to re-asign them the course but ideally i would like to see what question they are failing on.... if there is a trend then maybe there is a gap in the actual training material.
    Is it possible for me to review the quid the user has taken and understand where thay are answering incorrectly?
    Any help appreciated
    Darren

    All
    i have been using this Wodget now and the data is appearing on the adobe dashboard .. Brilliant
    1 question... if i have a course set so the user can retake the quiz another time if they get it wrong will there quiz results be sent to the dashboard twice, or will only the second attempt be logged?
    For example i have a module with 5 questions and a pass rate of 100%
    If the user gets 2 questions wrong they then have the option to retake... hopefully then getting them all correct... if not they then Fail the course and need to be re assigned it.
    If they pass on the second attempt will the dashboard show that the 5 questions have been taken twice and 2 were answered incorrectly the forst time... or will just the second attempt here they got them all correct be logged?
    Thanks

  • Is there any way to see what was texted?

    Is there any way to get a printout of what was said in an sms text? Also when I check my account activity online, it wont show the number that the text message was sent to or received from. Why is that? Please no responses about if I don't trust my child then don't let them text. I am just curious about how to get a full printout of what was being said. The reason I need this is private. Thank you.

    If the phone involved is a smartphone, and you can use the app Integrated Messaging from Verizon, then yo can log in to the phone's MyVerizon account and see the messages, and print them out, download them to a spreadsheet, etc.  If you are the parent, the account owner, and this is a minor child, you can set up the MyVerizon account using their number.
    If the numbers are not showing up on the detailed view, it could be for a couple of reasons:
    It takes 24-48 hours for details to show up - so if it's less than a day, you won'' see specific numbers
    If the messages were sent via a texting app or iMessage (on an iPhone) it won't show up under texting, but under data, with no details as to the #'s involved.
    If this does not involve a minor child, but another adult, then a court order may be your only other option.

  • Is there any way to see what Get It Now apps were downloaded?

    I just recieved my bill... for a HUGE shock. I have 18 charges for get it now downloads! Before I call customer service, I'd like to see if there is anyway I can find out what exactly was downloaded. It is possible that one of my kids got a hold of my phone over the past month, but if they did, they removed everything they downloaded! I'd just like to see what's going on, as this isn't the first time it's happened. Any help at all would be appreciated. Thanks!

    If you log in to your MyVerizon account, on the HOME tab, click MyMedia, and it should show you a list of all the apps, ringtones, etc that you (or someone) have downloaded.
    If you are on a family plan, it's possible they are using their own phones to download ringtones, music, games, etc.

  • Any way to see what apps are running in IOS7?

    To see what apps were running on my iPhone 4s with IOS 6 all I had to do was double click the main button.  Now that I've upgraded, this action brings up a ribbon of all the apps I have.  I'm trying to find out why my battery life has shortened considerable with IOS7.

    You are not seeing a ribbon of all your apps. Just like under iOS 6, double tapping the Home button will show you your most recently used apps. Most of them are not actually running. Just like under iOS 6, force closing apps will, unless the app is misbehaving, have minimal effect on battery life.
    There are some new features of iOS 7 that can result in increased battery use. See this article for some suggestions:

  • Is there any way to see what I have stored in the Cloud for iTunes?

    I am looking to find if some TV shows I bought are in my Cloud. They are in my libarry currently, but I want to make sure that if my computer ever crashes and loses data, that they won't be lost. I am looking for a way to see all the content that is in the Cloud for iTunes, but I have only find the webpage that shows contacts, notes, ect. Anyone know if this is possible? Thanks.

    No, Apple very rarely make advance announcements of bug fixes.
    You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
    Ctrl-B to turn on the menu bar.
    Ctrl-S to turn on the sidebar.
    Ctrl-/ to turn on the status bar.
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library for the old search behavior.
    Alternatively you roll back to iTunes 10.7. If so, first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and supporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.
    You might also want to use iTunes Feedback.
