Is it possible to create an add-in within Acrobat DC? I have been looking through the documentation and have been coming up short. I would like to be able to create a third party window within the application.

Is this separate window a popup or an embedded window within the application?

It would be a separate window, not part of the application’s window. (NOTE: this is due to security concerns and not technical ones)

Look for "plug-ins" in the Acrobat SDK: Adobe - Acrobat Developer Center | Adobe Developer Connection

Thanks for the quick response, Karl.

I would like to create my own fly-out window similar to the 'Comments' or 'Tools' window that is already embedded in the application. I must be overlooking something within the "Plug-ins" section of the provided documentation (likely due to my lack of knowledge on the terminology).

You can’t create a new panel in the right or left hand pane of Acrobat (such as where Comments or Thumbnails live), but you can create your own separate window and put whatever you want there…
