Dear All,

I just want to create a name pipe in *.api for adobe reader as follow, by using visual C++.

hPipe = CreateNmaedPipe(L"\\\\.\\pipe\\my_pipe", PIPE_ACCESS_DUPLEX, PIPE_TYPE_MESSAGE | PIPE_READMODE_MESSAGE | PIPE_NOWAIT, PIPE_UNLIMITED_INSTANCES, 4096, 4096, 1000, NULL);

and put *.api in the adobe plugin, open adobe and call this.

But hPipe will return INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE and GetLastError as 5, Access Denied.

If I only run the is code in invidual c++ project and run it directly, it can be successful. Anyone has this idea?

Thanks,

Tony

If you only just downloaded the SDK, do you already have a Reader-enabling license and key from Adobe? Not sure how you can just download the SDK and make a Reader plug-in without all this extra work?

Enable protected mode, it is fine now.

I want to know whether it must be protected mode, if I need to use sandbox and broker.exe.

Yes, Acrobat and Reader plug-ins only offer the Broker feature when protected mode is on. This means that you need to code some parts of your code twice, completely differently.
