I have downloaded Acrobat_DC_SDK_Windows_2021_v3 for C++.
But I don't know how to install it.

I use Visual Studio 2019.

Help me to install it.

I uploaded the Acrobat_DC_SDK_Windows_2021_v3.

Where do I have to extract the zip file?

When I extract it, I can see this.

 


looks like your already installed it. All you have to do is put it into a folder on your local hard drive. Then for any project, you have to setup the project include path to include these folders:

...\Acrobat DC SDK\Version 1\PluginSupport\Headers\API

...\Acrobat DC SDK\Version 1\PluginSupport\Headers\SDK

 

Next look in this folder:

...\Acrobat DC SDK\Version 1\PluginSupport\Tools\Visual Studio App Wizard

And run this program:  AcroDCPIWizInstaller.msi

 

This will install an Acrobat Plug-in project wizard in VS2019. When run this project wizard will create a basic Acrobat plug-in project. 

But you don't need the wizard because the plug-in samples all provide the basic setup. You can use any one of them as a starting point for creating your own plug-in. 

 

Look in this folder to see the samples:

...\Acrobat DC SDK\Version 1\PluginSupport\Samples

Unzip the zip file on your system.

Use a program like winzip for this.
