Hi

I have sucessfully enabled my plugin for adobe reader X (stated in the console window), using the signplugin exe and the associated files. The problem is that I cannot see my toolbar anywhere. I have added the "READER_PLUGIN" preprocessor definitions.

I would greatly appreciate help

Thank you.

You need to make the button external if you are in a browser interface or embedded interface.

If not then you need to make sure the internal setting is designated.

Hi

I copied the .api file to the plugins folder. That fixed it.

Are you absolutely sure it is initialising? For instance, can you see a menu item it added? You can also try adding a message in post-initialisation.

Sometimes one has to use the debugger and step through the initialisation routines in PIMain.

Breakpoints don't always work, so try putting a message in the very first initialisation.

Also: what kind of toolbar? What version of Acrobat are you testing in?


What is the first initialisation. I'm having problems deploying mi .api file. It's not getting picked up by adobe reader ani I don't have the luxury of debugging
