Question

How can I disable the right-click context menu in Adobe Reader using the plugin SDK?

I've downloaded the Adobe SDK and read through the Developing Plug-ins and Applications documentation.  I've also got the sample plugins that came packaged with the SDK.  However, none of this seems to have the answer to my issue.  I need to disable the right-click menu on Adobe and I'm not sure how to do this.  I've been able to add menu items to the menu bar and take items off.  Just can't figure out how to modify the right-click.

 

Also, I've seen the post on this forum where you can disable the right-click by running some commands from Powershell.  I need to do this programatically, if possible.

By the way, I'm not using Javascript for this.  I'm using the C++ plugin SDK.  There simply wasn't a tag for that.

If it's this post, https://community.adobe.com/t5/Enterprise-Teams/Disable-adobe-right-click-context-menu-using-Active-Directory/td-p/8281479, it is about the Windows context menu (in Windows File Explorer), not the right click context menu in Acrobat. Very different.

That was the post. I misunderstood what it was doing. So it won't do what I need either.

Never seen a method to do this. Can you link to the other post, maybe it will give inspiration.
