Creating a 64-bit plugin for Adobe acrobat

I added a new menu item in the BasicPlugin in the latest SDK: Acrobat_DC_SDK_Windows_2021_v3\Adobe\Acrobat DC SDK\Version 1\PluginSupport\Samples\BasicPlugin. It only works in the 32bit Adobe Acrobat. Are there headers files for the 64bit Acrobat? How to add the 64-bit configuration to plugin project? Many thanks.

The above link to https://opensource.adobe.com/dc-acrobat-sdk-docs/acrobatsdk/64bitdev.html eventually takes you to the https://developer.adobe.com/console/servicesandapis page to download the Adobe Acrobat SDK.

This is not the latest zip - so it seems.

The downloaded zip contains the folder (for Plugins) Acrobat_DC_SDK_Windows_2021_v3\Adobe\Acrobat DC SDK\Version 1\PluginSupport, but not the Version 3 as I would expect.  Nor are there any 64-bit specific headers, just Win32.

So, where, or where, can we download the LATEST Acrobat_DC_SDK files/installer?

You seem to be assuming things rather than testing. Why would there be 64-bit specific headers? The plug-in has a single build with x86 and x64 targets, with a single set of headers. Have you checked the projects included with that SDK?
