Ho to enable Plugin in adobe reader

[DavidQ132]

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.

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.

Also: does it work as expected in Adobe Acrobat ?

[DavidQ132]

Yes it is working in adobe acrobat.

I set break point all across PIMain and it's not breaking. No idea whats going on

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?

[DavidQ132]

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

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.
