Using the sample plugin code from http://download.macromedia.com/pub/developer/acrobat/sdk/dc/sdkDC_v1_win.zip
sample project Acrobat DC SDK\Version 1\PluginSupport\Samples\ExternalWindow there are certain pdfs that fail to open. It typically just shows a blank window, but they do open properly if opened in Acrobat DC without the plugin loaded. I haven't been able to find any visible similarities between pdfs that work and don't work.
Sample PDF
Any Ideas?
I have written a simple PlugIn to liase with out Document MAnagement software, all the system does is essentially log the current open file and pass that to an external DLL call for the document manager). This worked find but as of a month ago when trying to initialize the External DLL is claims Class Not Registered (from the compiled Add-In, that was working the previous day.).
I have now taken all the external dependancies out of this DLL so all it does is display a message box, same thing. I have compiled both the plugin and external DLL in 64 bit and 32 bit and still the same (using the appropriate regasm tool to register it). This isn't just on a local machine though,,, it occurs on all I tested on,
Have come to a bit of an impasse and need help or guidance.
Thanks in advance
Danny
PS It is a Reader App (and has is always signed as such after a compile)
PS I have also posted this in the wrong forum elsewhere but not sure where it was (I went to a developer forum straight from Google).
Dear all,
i'd like to develop an application for formatting an AcroForm and reading and setting the value within the AcroForm. Therefor I'd like to use some methods from an existing API. I've got a couple of questions:
1) What are the differences of Acrobat SDK and PDF Library SDK? (see Acrobat DC SDK Documentation)
Among others: Does Acrobat SDK and PDF Library SDK use the same PDF Library API? Just another subset of it? How is the licensing and the pricing? Is my suggested application above a so called "PDF Library Application"? How about the Acrobat Forms API - it is part of the Extended API for Plug-in but it isn't part of the PDF Library API?
2) What approaches do I have for formatting and setting/reading the value of an AcroForm?
Can I use both SDKs for it? (it seems so, see Adobe PDF Library SDK | Adobe Developer Connection) What are advantages/disadvantages? From which API the methods come from? (Acrobat Forms API?)
Thanks for every information regarding theses points
Is it possible to insert a PDEText element into a PDSElement? I know that if I insert the text into a container this is possible but i want only text to be within the structure element. I tried using the function PDSElementInsertMCAsKidEx but I was unable to convert PDEText into an element that it would accept.
Is it possible to talk to the acropdf control using DDE?
Using acrobat reader 10.1.16 (.GetVersion returns 10.1 for all parameters)
I am trying to discover all possible functionality of the acropdf control
These tempting undocumented commands, how do they work ?
Any way I get send javascript commands through there ? Maybe get a JSObject ?
I'd like to be able to go to a bookmark, or even better search if a specific string exists in the document then show it highlighted to the user (or at least just go to the page where it is )
I also a full version of nuance powerpdf with my work computer however I can't find it's programming API documentation, if it even has one.
I want to make a excel sheet that does the aforementioned tasks but even though I can get adobe acrobat full, I can't get a license for every other PC (thousands of computers here) so my program would be doomed to not work for most users.
I also can't install any other software, but I could bundle files with my excel file so, there are any "portable" control for any other pdf reader that could do what I want, I would love to hear about it !
thanks !
I have to create a large number of PDF document from text files or a text stream.
The text input contain control codes to indicate whether the orientation of the current page is portrait or landscape.
I would like to write a program that converts a text stream with these features to a PDF document with pages in both portrait and landscape orientation.
Does the SDK / API have functionality to do that?
Greetings

I use Acrobat DC Pro. after installation I can not see any adobe icons on my computer. There is just a white field. (On my Computer I use Windows 10, Office 2016) Has anyone a solution?
Hello,
I have created my own Adobe plug-in (.api file), placed it in the plug-ins folder and it's loading and working as expected :-)
However, when I launch Acrobat and navigate to Help > ''About Adobe Plug-Ins", my plug-in is not listed.
Is it possible to have my plug-in listed in the 'About Adobe Plug-Ins' dialog box? Or is this reserved for Adobe certified plug-ins only?
Thanks!
I occasionally like to add "machine-tape" reconciliations to my pdf pages. Currently I do it with copying it to clipboard from Excel and then pasting via a stamp. However, this pastes an image. Is there a way to paste the text? The only way I could think of is by using a command line app called cpdf to merge the machine tape (exported to pdf) with the extracted original page (as the background) and then replacing the original page in the pdf file with the merged pdf file. That method does what I want and works fairly reliably, except for a few issues. Is there a way to either do this using an existing acrobat function or to script it in JS?
Hi Everyone,
I have searched for info on this, but I am having a hard time finding anything, so I thought it would be quicker to ask the experts...
What is the official way to determine the location of the Acrobat program folder? I see some entries in the registry, but is that consistent for all versions of acrobat?
Background:
I have a Windows only C++ SDK Plugin for Acrobat and Reader. Both are working fine. I have been working/testing against Acrobat DC. As you already know, you must put this in the Plug_Ins folder for acrobat to load it. This is fine for my development, but now I need to deploy it to my customers. I use WIX for creating my MSI's.
Thanks!

2015-07-03 Send and track for Outlook worked perfect. Today (same environment, no changes made by me or system administrator) I just get a message (in Swedish) "This Adobe ID can not be found. Open Acrobat and log in with your Adobe ID". Wich I did. Several times. Also closed Outlook inbetween and so on. Sad that this excellent service from within Outlook (that MS failed to offer, despite all kind of "professional" Sharepoint services) stopped working so soon. Is there anything I can do to restore the function?

Hi,
I am working on creating Add In for Acrobat Reader DC using c++ and c#.
I am able to access c++ Add in to c# dll when c# dll was not singed (strong assemble).

Please help on this

Hi,
I have made a plugin for Acrobat to integrate with our document management solution. I need the main functionality to reside in a C# library, so I have made a C++ plugin to handle the menu and integration with Acrobat, and a wrapper library in C++ that binds to the C# library.
Now, this works fine in full Acrobat, all versions from 9 to DC.
However, when I have signed the plugin for Reader, the wrapper library is unable to load the C# library.
No helpful error message is given!
So I wonder, is Reader and Acrobat running in different thread or security modes, or anything else that is causing problems?
I have tried to enforce the C# library in X86 mode, and I have stripped all code, references and dependencies to rule out reference errors.
Hi,
I'm trying to integrate one "Adobe PDF Reader" component inside a form. I have Adobe Acrobat Reader DC installed on my machine.
To accomplish that I have created a project on Visual Studio 2013, added the component to the Toolbox and then added one object (named AxAcroPDF1) to the form. If I check the Project References I can see that both Interop.AcroPDFLib.dll and AxInterop.AcroPDFLib.dll are correctly added.
My problem begins when I try to code something related with that Adobe PDF Reader object -> The methods src, LoadFile, etc. are not available.
I have also downloaded sdkDC_v1_win.zip and I'm facing the same issues in that (you can take a look to the image below regarding AcrobatActiveXVB project)
Can you please help me?
Thank you in advance
I have a C# console app I've written to batch process pdf's and save them out as optimized. The only problem is I haven't found a definitive answer to the correct nType to get an optimized file. Here is my code.
pdDoc.Save(1 + 32, impoFile);
I believe 1 is PDSaveFull and 32 is PDSaveCollectGarbage.
Should I be also saving PDSaveLinearized?
Thanks.
Hi,
I create PDFs from RTF documents daily using Acrobat Pro DC by right clicking the document and selecting 'convert to PDF'. We have two custom settings that can be used so I normally select the appropriate one before right clicking. I really want to automate the tedious selecting and clicking of a few hundred RTF documents but apparently this simple automation requires expensive third party software or a study of the SDK.
I read through iac_api_reference.pdf and iac_developer_guide.pdf but to be honest I dont really follow and I dont even know if IAC is the best approach. Is there a guide somewhere that can at least put me on the right track to automate this basic functionality?
Thank you,
Tiaan
Using the PDETextIsAtRect function I discovered that if returns element that are not part of bounding box. So I wanted to know if I have two bounding boxes is it possible to check if the bounding box of one element can be found within the bounding bx of another element.
I have Adobe X1 Standard installed on my computer. I need to fill an adobe form using VBA in Microsoft Access 2003, but I don't see "Adobe Acrobat 11.0 Object Type Library" listed as a reference. I see other references listed such as "Adobe Acrobat Browser Control Type Library 1.0". Why doesn't the "11.0 Object Type Library" show in References? Should I include a different reference that is listed to enable me to fill data into a pdf form from Microsoft Access?
