Questions

in my adobe acrobat plugin, i am using the AvIconCreateFromPDf to load the icons as pdf files. now i want to load the icons as images like png or jpeg. is there a alternative to AvIconCreateFromPDf that would work for images. Apparently there is a method called AvIconCreateFromFile. I am not sure is this is a valid method that sdk provides.it is not working for me.  

I am using Acrobat c++ sdk to develop my plugin. I need to create a ToolTip for an annotation. What I found is , Probably tooltip is not present as of now for an annotation. Although for ToolButton it is present.To Implement , I ceated another annotation just beside my actual annotation and populated my data in that.Binded two functions : MouseEnter and MouseExit to create and destroy the newly tool tip created annotation.What I am trying is to run a thread, detach it, and in that thread , delele the annotation after two seconds. void RemoveToolTipAnnot(PDAnnot annot) { AVDoc doc = AVAppGetActiveDoc(); // My program crashes here stating cannot access this . PDDoc pdDoc = AVDocGetPDDoc(doc); int pages = PDDocGetNumPages(pdDoc); bool found = false; for (int i = 0; i < pages; i++) { PDPage page = PDDocAcquirePage(pdDoc, i); .......... .......... and this is main calling fn. pdPageDel = AVPageViewGetPage(pageView); ASFixedRect r

Hello, I have downloaded the 2023 version of the SDK from here:https://developer.adobe.com/console/1915499/servicesandapis I would like to develope a PlugIn for Mac and Windows. From the SDK it is not clear which version of the compilers to use, xcode and VS. Another consideration is, can you create a FAT PlugIn for Macintosh, runs on Intel and M processors? Thank you for your help. P.

I’m trying to create a plugin in Adobe. I’ve written the code in Visual Studio, and it compiles without any errors. I copied the DLL file to the plugins folder and renamed the DLL to an API. I also closed Adobe and reopened it with administrator rights, but I still can’t see my plugin in Adobe. When I go to Help → Generate System Report, I can see my plugin listed there, but it’s not visible within Adobe itself. Please let me know when you’re available so we can connect and take a look together.

I am trying to use the following link to generate credentials so that I can use the PDF services API:https://acrobatservices.adobe.com/dc-integration-creation-app-cdn/main.html?api=pdf-services-apiEven after refreshing the page, I am continuing to see a "An unexpected error has occurred" message which I have provided a screenshot of below. Are there any server outages happening right now within Adobe Acrobat Services?  

I am experimenting with the PDF Services API but get stuck on 'Creating a Job'.Basically, I am following this Getting StartedAll (seems) to go well until I have to create the job.What I've done so far:1. Get access token```curl --location 'https://pdf-services.adobe.io/token' \--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \--data-urlencode 'client_id={{Super Secret Client ID}}' \--data-urlencode 'client_secret={{Even More Secret Client Secret}}'```Since I get a valid response with a dictionary, I get it's ok```{"access_token":"hash1234accesshash", "token_type":"bearer","expires_in":86399}```2. Get the pre-signed upload uri```curl --location --request POST 'https://pdf-services.adobe.io/assets' \--header 'X-API-Key: {{Placeholder for client_id}}' \--header 'Authorization: Bearer {{Placeholder for token}}' \--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \--data-raw '{"mediaType": "application/pdf"}'```And now I get an upload URI```curl --location -g --request PUT '<insert uplo

Hello, I'm a developer for a life insurance company. We use Aspose PDF for .net to programmatically fill fields on a pdf with rates for our annuity products (link to Aspose here - https://products.aspose.com/pdf/net/). This allows us to fill rate sheets and client rate fliers with the most up to date rates when users access these pdfs. Here is an example of our of our dynamically filled rate sheets:https://mybusiness.massmutualascend.com/home/dynamic-rates-pages/american-landmark-3-client-rate-flier However, if users have the Adobe Acrobat chrome extension installed (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/adobe-acrobat-pdf-edit-co/efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj), intermittently the form will load without the fields filled and still editable. Expected behavior would be the fields have been filled with rates and then "flattened" which makes the fields no longer editable, and instead places the content directly on the pdf. This issue does not occur when the chrome exten

I have vb.net code that was adding a Text Box to my Adobe forms.  It worked prior to the new version of adobe.  I was using the following code:Public Sub addAnnotation(commentText As String, PageNum As String, rect() As Object, editable As Boolean)Dim annot As ObjectDim props As Objectannot = jso.addAnnot()props = annot.getPropsprops.type = "FreeText"props.page = PageNumprops.contents = commentTextprops.strokeColor = jso.Color.blackprops.Rect = rectprops.name = commentTextprops.readonly = editableannot.setProps(props)End Sub After going to the newer version (I cannot go back to the older version of Adobe due to company policy) it does nothing when I run this.  I made a small change and have it assign the type of FreeText first which then gives me a rectangle on the Form, but the text doesn't display in it. Public Sub addAnnotation(commentText As String, PageNum As String, rect() As Object, editable As Boolean)Dim annot As ObjectDim props As Objectannot = jso.ad

I am working on plugin development using Adobe Acrobat SDK (C++) . if (bind(serverSocket, (struct sockaddr*)&serverAddr, sizeof(serverAddr)) == SOCKET_ERROR) { return false; } // Get the assigned port int addrLen = sizeof(serverAddr); if (getsockname(serverSocket, (struct sockaddr*)&serverAddr, &addrLen) == SOCKET_ERROR) { return false; } DWORD assignedPort = ntohs(serverAddr.sin_port); std::string po = "Assigned Port: " + std::to_string(assignedPort); // Update the redirectURI with the assigned port config.redirectURI = "http://localhost:" + std::to_string(assignedPort); return true;and then when I try to connect,I get Unable to establish SSL connection when my Protected mode is enabled and Run in app container is checked. If I uncheck Run In app container it works perfectly fine. I have made sure that all registries and folders which are required are whitelisted.NOTE: This happens only on Virtual Dest

I am working on a plugin which runs on Adobe Acrobat.1. I need to copy a custom annotation ( Has image ) and should be able to paste in any page or any other opened pdf document page.  If I do ctrl +c and ctrl +v nothing happens. Checked the flags too it returns 4 which states "PrintAnnot" so the annot is not locked. Not sure if any thing more needs to be added in that annot. Because PDAnnotCanCopy returns false. As of now, Manually creating the annotation by copying its appearance and rectangle. I have my code ready but how can I catch (Control + c and Control + v) events?Code:  AVAppRegisterForPageViewKeyDown(MyKeyDownHandler,NULL); .... .... ASBool TTCPlugIn::MyKeyDownHandler(AVPageView pageView, AVKeyCode key, AVFlagBits16 modifiers, void* data) { if ((modifiers & AV_CONTROL) && ((key == 'C')||(key=='c')) ) { // Handle Ctrl+C AVAlertNote("Ctrl+C was pressed!"); return true; // Event handled } return false; } This code works fine if I pr

 Hi,About half an hour ago, while calling the Adobe PDF Services API, I started receiving the following error during the HTML-to-PDF conversion process:  2025-04-30T08:41:44.357Z ERROR [...] Failure response code 400 encountered from backend com.adobe.pdfservices.operation.exception.ServiceApiException: description='Invalid job id present in path param'; requestTrackingId='38647953-a2ca-48a2-8e46-8d306dd55c05'; statusCode=400; errorCode=INVALID_JOB_ID The logs indicate that the asset upload and job submission completed successfully, but the error occurs when retrieving the job result.Could you please confirm if there are any known issues on the server side or changes in the API that might explain this?Thanks in advance

Hi everyone,I’m encountering a crash in Acrobat Pro DC (64-bit, version 25.1.20474.0) after closing the application when my custom plugin is loaded.

I have a sub that opens a PDF, adds a couple signature fields to it, and then saves the file.

I have been tasked with converting the rendering of an output pdf document from the default (color) to instead generate pdfs in Black & White / Greyscale. We are seeing a couple issues on our end with some of the Adobe code when using the implementation in an OSGI AEM Forms context on version 6.5.18 and wanted to reach out to the community to see if anyone had been able to get either of these methods functioning to generate black and white output. //initial document creation existing code example// (templateDocument is an xdp, inXml is an xml used to fill in the template)PDFOutputOptions pdfOutputOptions = new PDFOutputOptions();pdfOutputOptions.setAcrobatVersion(AcrobatVersion.Acrobat_10);final Document doc = outputService.generatePDFOutput(templateDocument, inXml, pdfOutputOptions);File outputPdfTemp = new File("C:\\output\\output-pdf-temp.pdf");doc.copyToFile(outputPdfTemp);Document outputPdfTempDoc = new Document(Files.newInputStream(outputPdfTemp.toPath()));//try convert

Hey Hivemind. Working with Windows 11 Powershell.  When I scan oversized files (9x12 or 11x17) and need to get them to 8.5 x 11 - i have to manually open them all, print to PDF,  select shrink oversized pages, etc.  Very time consuming.I'd like to set up a PowerShell script to read all the .pdf files in a folder and process them all.Normally with products, you have to load a module/library.  I was looking to use AcrobatDC.AcrobatDCCom.App.  (looks like that should have been used for older versions, not CC.But it's erroring.Any thoughts on how to do this?Follow up: When I do save the PDF, the print is very gray compared to the original black/white that was scanned.  I don't recall this being an issue before.
