I am using Acrobat Reader DC SDK to develope a *.api. Currently I need to get file path and file name. Is there an API like AVDocOpenFromFile to get file path and file name which is Acrobat Reader open file?

 

thanks,

tony

I used ASFileAcquirePathName, get path name is ...\acroab32_sbx\*.tmp. The file is not *.pdf and I copy it out, can not open by reader and the error is "not page".

That suggests the file is unsaved, or a temporary copy. It is not unusual to find TMP names for PDFs that are not saved. Nevertheless, that is the path name. What does File > Properties show for file name? The same or different?

Your code seems correct, and your tests show that this actually is the file path. How is this file opened, exactly? And what are you trying to do with this path name, it sounds as if you are trying to use it outside Acrobat?

yes. I used this API - AVDocOpenFromFile to open one PDF file. It needs to pass this opened pdf file path and name to another exe file which is written by C#. If it is modified by acrobat and how I can pass this modified file name and path to C#.

By default open dialog, I also want to know the file name and path.

thanks,

tony

I don't understand your reply.

1. Are you running your plugin in Acrobat Reader?

2. Do you have a Reader plug-ins license from Adobe?

One idea after all. If you OPEN the file in your code, you can record the file name in your code also, so later it is available when you need the name.
