The supported compilers are:
  Visual C++ under Windows
  Metrowerks Code Warrior on the Macintosh
  gcc on SunOS and Solaris
  HP's compiler under HP-UX.

The Acrobat Plug-ins SDK contains all documentation on the plug-in API and
source code for a number of sample plug-ins. The SDK is available through
the Adobe Developers Association (+31 20 6511 355 in Europe, (415)961-4111
in the US).

  It is possible to do this with the plug-ins API, but it is a significant
undertaking...

VerTec Solutions has written plug-ins like those you want. They are
located in the eastern US and can be contacted at: (910)855-9555.

Tim:

It is nice to see a vendor taking an interest in a related news group.

1. Acrobat SDK -- example plug-ins fail with C++.net compiler

Hi All

I have compiled a few of the Acrobat SDK example
plug-ins both with Visual C++ 6.0 and Visual C++ .net.
Although they compile fine with both systems, only those
compiled with Visual C++ 6.0 successfully register
with Acrobat. The VC++ .net versions are immediately
unloaded. I know the SDK recommends
VC++ 6.0 but I was wondering if anyone knows why
they all fail with the .net version -- and can it be fixed
easily?

Many thanks

Graham
