How do I change the icon that appears in the Tools menu for custom plugins

Community Beginner ,
Oct 18, 2022 Oct 18, 2022

I am looking at the SDK plugin sample SelectionServer and I am not seeing how to change the default folder icon to something custom. I tried "AVToolBarSetIcon" but that didn't seem to affect the icon that is displayed on the Tools page.

You can't, not part of the SDK.

Look at AVToolBarSetIcon and AVIconCreateFromPDF. And AVToolButtonNew. I can't share any code, but they are involved.

Are you sure you can change that particular icon?

Yes, it is possible. I remember it was a major challenge with incomplete documentation and methods which would crash Acrobat. The comments say that AVToolBarSetIcon was a late addition to the API.
