I am developing a C++ Acrobat plugin responsible for opening of secured PDFs from secured on disk location. To provide good user expierience I would like to add / remove the secured PDF file entries from the recent file list. I am unable to find any C++ Acrobat SDK API which will allow to get and update the list of recent file list. Is there any such APIs which I can use? or any other ideas about how I can provide this functionality?
Any leads will help. Thanks in advance.

That list is saved in the Registry. If your plugin can read/write registry settings then it should be possible to do it.

Maybe not with the new sandboxing.

I don't think there is any such API. If there is no API you cannot affect the list in any way.
