Hi all;

First off, I have my plug in working (go me!). It doesn't do much, but it's running. In C#.

Question. I have some data I need to store in the PDF. This data is for the use of my plug-in only. It's ASCII (uuencoded). WHat/where is the best place to store it?

thanks - dave

Create a private dictionary, prefixed with your developer ID and then store whatever you need in that dictionary. You can store your ASCII encoded data as a string, or as a stream. The only important thing here is that the dictionary name you create needs to be prefixed with your developer ID so that your data cannot interfere with anybody else's data.
