developer help - How to ReaderEnable the 64 bit Acrobat Reader Pro plugin

[shamsundarv54008661]

Compiled the BasicPlugin sample in AdobeAcrobat 64 bit SDK

The Plugin loads and after few seconds The Reader crashes.

1) How do we get the process of ReaderEnabling done ?

2) Where do we get the certificates verified by Adobe ?

3) If we want support and open a ticket with Adobe where do we email.

I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Acrobat SDK forum so that proper help can be offered.

Even after attaining a certificate and signing using the sign utility, my "hello world" application still crashes.  Using debugger, I can confirm that the PluginInit() function is being called.   Using procmon I can see that the crash happens after using some encryption service.  

My "hello world" application is essentially just the "Starter" application from the samples, compiled in 64-bit mode.

When signing the api, the utility got no errors and added around 500 bytes to the api file.  

Is there a common pitfall that others have figured out?

Does the same plug-in run successfully in Acrobat Pro without crashing? 

Or does it also crash? With or without signing?

Update: I worked with the folks at Adobe.  Either the certificate they sent me had been corrupted coming through the email client(s), or they sent the wrong certificate.  They sent the certificate via file sharing app and all works now.

>>Does the same plug-in run successfully in Acrobat Pro without crashing? 

The plugin works in 64-bit Acrobat Pro.

But in 64-bit Acrobat Reader, the plugin loads and after sometime 64bit Acrobat Reader crashes.

Giving the crash call stack below.

>>Or does it also crash? With or without signing?

I am using the certificate to sign. The certificates were procured a decade ago, and our plugin work very well with 32bit Acrobat Reader using the Win32 signing tool.

For 64bit I used the new signing tool from SDK from here

The crash remains unsolved even with signed and Reader Enabled plugin.

The crash happens as per the call stack listed previously, in Adobe 64bit Reader with Plugin.
