>If you re-read my post, you'll see that's not at all what I said. I said that methods that had major changes made to them between 4 and 5 would no longer be available from 5 when setting the HFT version to 4 (this is the obvious approach, since they would no longer function the way 4 would expect them to and can lead to unexpected behavior).
An Arobat SDK is no more than an interface to the objects offered by Acrobat's core... when Acrobat goes from version n to n+1 the core and the SDKs change, but a basic rule of software design says that the SDK of version n+1 should be able to target a version n Acobat's core w/o problem...
>The entire issue you seem so intent on arguing here is supported vs. unsupported.
You are wrong again, my point was just, "hey guys I heed a copy of the 4.0 SDK" but I got no more than senseless corporate/legal gibberish. All this thing could've been solved with a PM with a temporal link to the SDK but you guys (specially you) decided to play hardball...
>Lots of things can be theoretically accomplished with the SDK that are unsupported - some great ideas, some not so great, but regardless they remain unsupported in production environments for a number of reasons.
stop. shut up. read ADOBE's link. you are definitively a marketing guy talking about Adobes's MARKETING.
>If you figure out a way of doing something that works for your specific project, that's great - honestly, I'm glad the community has this information. That does not make it a supported method of accomplishing what you're trying to do.
shut up, YOU talking about SUPPORTED METHODS when I'm asking a solution for a now UNSUPPORTED PLATFORM? I think I should stop talking to you... I do not think you represent ADOBE....
>I'm glad you fteound a way around your specific problem - I just want to make sure future developers reading this thread don't assume they can grab the Acrobat 9 SDK and start developing plug-ins for version 6 with it, then come here and say "why isn't this working???".
As a developer I wonder why a product that is just an interface suddenly disappears and the new version does not "facilitate" writing code for previous versions... I also wonder if as a developer I do not deserve a better support than you...
>Earlier in this thread you spoke about supporting the community. Obviously this thread has gotten out of hand - but unprofessional behavior aside there is some technical merit to this thread, as long as people understand it is an unsupported solution.
your unprofessional behavior is balanced with the solution I've found just with GOOGLE and not paying ANY attention to your advices...
>What I suggest, if you're willing to follow this up with a professional handshake so to speak, is to start a new thread about this.
You are off.. totally out of touch... I'm not going to start anything.
You had a solution to my problem at your fingertips but you said nothing... you are not my Adobe's support, you are an arrogant that deserves to be fired!
>Link to that article you posted (it's only offline for a minor re-write - after re-reading it I can certainly understand how you came to the conclusion you did and it will be re-posted in a few days at the same URL). There is some valuable information posted hre for the community, but it needs to be filtered from all the bile.
Some times your English is not understandable...
Anyway, if the article link is broken I have a back up, if this tread gets lost I'll put my own copy on blogspot...
It's just up to you guys....
