Hello everyone, I am reading the PDF guide of JavaScript-Tools, I want to know the communication between JavaScript and c/c++,and I found that on the chapter of 7:Integrating External Libraries, it told me that the sample shows how to write a C/C++ shared library to be integrated with JavaScript, but the problem is, where can I download the Example code, actually I found nothing on the internet.

Acrobat uses its own flavor of JavaScript, which is incompatible with ExtendScript. The most important reason for this is security: Acrobat's script can be embedded in PDF files, and you do not want that openness that ExtendScript allows, because that could severely jeopardize your system's security.

You can find out about Acrobat's JavaScript in the Acrobat SDK:
