Advice on creating PDF editor

this is what we're building:

the huge red-highlighted box is the PDF. the others are added objects, including the black boxes inside the red-highlighted box. We're not able to achieve what we want using Embed API in this case. What should we do next?

Bear in mind

- the Acrobat SDK is an interface which uses Adobe Acrobat Pro

- each user needs an Acrobat Pro license

- it cannot and must not be used on a server

To write an INTERACTIVE editor in Acrobat SDK is a major undertaking and you will surely need detailed knowledge of both C++ and PDF internals. The editor in Acrobat, weak and limited as it is, is nevertheless the result of countless person-years work.

To write a non-interactive editor, that is one which acts on known requests and patterns may vary from simple to impossible, depending on the wish.

I don't use Windows and I'm not sure I understand the full dynamics of what you're doing but as soon as you said you are using "We are using widow.print(): to print the PDF." I think I know what the problem might be.

When you use window.print, you are probably not using Acrobat or anything Adobe to generate the PDF and as such, that's a potential problem. ANYONE can make a PDF generator and not all are up to snuff. In fact, most are not very good.

I'm sorry I cannot instruct you how to do what you are trying to do but fortunately there are many PC users who prowl these forums so I'm sure you will get help.

Good luck!
