What are the versions of Windows & Visual Studio for Acrobat SDK 9.0?

[彬彬喝露露]

I downloaded "Adobe Acrobat XI SDK for Windows" on the official website and tried to compile the sample "BasicPlugin" with VS2015 on Win7, but the generated API file is incomplete and the Output window does not prompt the PDB file generation. Then I trid again with the same IDE on Win10, it worked. Here are some screenshots:

VS2015 on Win7

VS2015 on Win10

I wanna know what caused the difference? Please do not hesitate to enlighten, thanks!!!

Look for "Supported environments" in the documentation of the SDK.

OK, thanks for your suggestion, I'll try.

Both screen shots show an API file being made, I notice. Why do you care about the PDB?

[彬彬喝露露]

Yeah, but the API file(46kb) can run witn the application well, while the other one(45kb) failed to install. All  configrations are the same, so I guess the API file generated by VS2015 on Win7 is uncompleted. The only difference, I noticed so far, is the PDB file information in Output window. I don't konw if I'm clear?

I understand your reasons but I think you are wrong. A plugin cannot be incomplete if it has linked. The difference may be because  is a Debug build (which makes PDB and larger files) and the other is a Release build (no PDB).

If the plugin does not load you may be missing a Microsoft VC runtime DLL. The tool DEPENDS.EXE is useful to diagnose.

Thank you very much, I upgraded my OS from Win7 to Win10, it worked. Maybe my system environment has some problems, just as you said. Anyway, the api file worked at last.I really appreciate your responses,3Q!!!
