Protected Mode and Calling COM Classes

Hey All,

I have an Adobe Reader DC Plug-in that allows a customer to save the current PDF to our system. It is basically a file copy.  When the user clicks the toolbar, a screen is presented that allows them to identify the Client/Matter so the location to save the file can be determined.

Everything works great as long as Protected Mode is off.  

I use a .NET COM DLL (Wrapped in C++)  to present the UI to the user. Everything is registered properly and I have the correct "permission" to use the plug in reader and it is signed.

The question is how do I get Reader to allow it to run in Protected Mode?

Thank you for any help and/or direction.

Mark

Have you read the documentation in the SDK about Protected Mode, the restrictions that it enables and the administrator controls for adjusting it?

Could you please provide a link to this documentation? I can't find any references to protected mode in either the API Reference or the "Developing Plug-ins and Applications" guide.
