Pluggin extension .api

[Sonia5FB2]

I would like to develop a pluggin for acrobat. In the tutorial said that plug-in names must end in .API . When I compiled a pluggin written in C with Visual Studio, I didn't obtaine a .API object. What is the manner to obtaine a .API object. HELP please. THANKS.

Use one of the sample plug-ins in the SDK as your starting point. Do NOT create a new project, it is very difficult to get this right as a plug-in (and I've been writing them for many years, I would still never do it).

On Windows a plugin is a dll-file with the extension .api
