Hi

I have sucessfully enabled my plugin for adobe reader X (stated in the console window), using the signplugin exe and the associated files. The problem is that I cannot see my toolbar anywhere. I have added the "READER_PLUGIN" preprocessor definitions.

I would greatly appreciate help

Thank you.

You need to make the button external if you are in a browser interface or embedded interface.

If not then you need to make sure the internal setting is designated.

Hi

I copied the .api file to the plugins folder. That fixed it.

Are you absolutely sure it is initialising? For instance, can you see a menu item it added? You can also try adding a message in post-initialisation.

Sometimes one has to use the debugger and step through the initialisation routines in PIMain.

Also: does it work as expected in Adobe Acrobat ?
