OLE in visual studio (VB or C#) works great but I need to select bookmarks programmatically on workstations that will only have reader installed.
I am using OLE (AcroPDFLib/ AxAcroPDF) in visual studio (VB and C#) and it works great but I need to select bookmarks programmatically on workstations that will only have reader installed. Named destinations will not work for me because I will need the actions associated with the bookmarks, primarily the ability to select a 3d view in a 3d pdf.
I have read through Adobe documentation over the last week and have identified 3 possibilities
Option 1 (preferred)
If I develop using the Acrobat Pro libraries could I still distribute to workstations with only reader installed? If so what would I have to do to make it legit?
Option 2
I could use document level java (probably) but it looks like I would still have to use Acrobat Pro dll to call the java programmatically because I don't want the user to have to push a control or link in the PDF. Maybe I am missing something?
Option 3
Write a custom C++ plugin to expose the ability to select bookmarks via OLE IAC, I have not dug into this option very deep because I have no real experience with C++ but will learn it if I have to
Any other ways to accomplish this?
Please let me know if I should post this message in another forum, this is my first time asking for help in the Adobe forums
