Hello community,

I've been researching to find something about creating 3rd part apps for Acrobat PDF readers, but no luck..

Just like MS Words that has add-in, does Acrobat PDF reader also provide similar tool?

If yes, where do I start?

I need to be able to open that app inside pdf reader, login to my account and perform some tasks?

Many thanks for any sort of help.

The Acrobat SDK has all the information (thousands of pages of documentation and sample plugins). Plug-ins are written in C++ and you will NOT find a sample to do what you want. Detailed knowledge of the PDF format (ISO 32000-1) is often needed.

Are you hoping to make plugins for the free Acrobat Reader, instead of paying for Acrobat?

You can create plugins.
