Hi All,

I tried to build the BasicPlugin in Acorbat DC, but I get the error message below I shared here.

Could you please anyone give your guidance, I didn't find the steps configuration Acrobat SDK documentation, or could you please tell in which page they mentioend the configuration settings.

Steps I followed:

1. Copy the Acrobat SDK to my C:\Acrobat_DC_SDK\Version 1\PluginSupport\Samples\BasicPlugin\win32\
2. Run the BasicPlugin project via VS 2017 Community Edition.
3. I get the alert message below screenshot I shared, could you please guide me how to build the BasicPlugin sample project.

thx,
csm_phil

Thanks for your kind reply!

I don't know where to include the paths.

Here I shared my settings, please check and advice.

Please check and advice, or can you share the guide which page they mentioned to give the configuration settings.

Does you use the actual version of the Acrobat DC SDK?

Ah, 2017. I think this version of the SDK was written for VS 2019, please check the docs.

Now, an experienced VS and Acrobat programmer can fix things up to work with other releases, but if you are new to this, the whole process of getting your first plug-in to run will be so painful and complicated that you really don't need extra obstacles.

Hi,

As per your guidance I downloaded the VS2019 and installed again I complied the Build, it's showing the same error message why can't build the BasicPlugin successfully, In guide they didn't provide the proper configuration and setting to do, could you please share your ideas.

Generally I find that if you run the right version of Visual Studio you get the right Windows SDK with it. What version of Visual Studio is that?
