I have gotten the RIKLA from Adobe. And I use the example code BasicPlugin(you can download it from Adobe wetsite) as my plug_in, then, I made the api file according to the steps in document in the "Creating an Adobe Reader Plug_in" section of the "Developping Plug_ins and Applications". As last,I copy the api file to plug_ins folder, open Adobe Reader 8. I saw under the Tool memu there is a new menu named Acrobat sdk so that I think the api file is loaded successfully by Acrobat reader. But an error appears, it is "invalid plugin detected. Adobe Reader will quit". Can someone tell me why?Thank you.

Hi bruce,

Even I tried the BasicPlugin Sample but I did not get the Menu added in the menu bar. Every time, I open my reader I get the error "Invalid Plug-in". Can you please tell me what the issue is? Because you are also getting the same error but at least when you click on tools options, you can see your plug-in. I am not even able to see the plug-in.

Thanks,
Amruta

sounds like you have an old custom plugin installed. Remove it.

When I open the acrobat reader, I must click tool menu, otherwise the error will appear and the reader has no any response. But if I click the tool menu, the error does not appear. At this time, I can test the plug_in, it works. But as long as I leave the tool menu, the error will appear.

>When I open the acrobat reader

I assume you mean Adobe Reader; the last version called Acrobat Reader
was 5.1.

What I was asking you was to check that the plug-in loaded correctly
in Acrobat. NOT in the free Reader. You must test in Acrobat first.

I assume you have got a Reader enabling kit and license from Adobe to
write Reader plug-ins? If this doesn't sound right, you need to read
the document about developing for Reader.

Hi Andin,

I'm intended to build a Plug-IN for InDesign CS5.5 as a start point.

For first test I've build the XMCATALOHANDLER-Plug-In from the SDK-Samples.

The Buid was succesfull.

But when starting InDesignCS5.5 with this Plug-In in ID's plug-in-folder I get the error 'Adobe InDesignCD5.5 does not recignise XMLCATALOGHANDLER:APLN as a valid plug-in. Please reinstall the XMLCATALOGHANDLER.APLN plug-in and restart InDesign'.

Could you please let me know, what is causing thet error?

You may reache me via jochen.seliger@flowcontrol.org

The first thing to check is whether the plug-in actually does its job
when you load it in Acrobat.
