Cpt:CapturePages is the MENU ITEM. It is NOT the name of the AVCommand. The AVCommand's name is "PaperCapture", as documented in the SDK. ... View more

There is no source code for the ActiveX control available. The ActiveX is only a "wrapper" around Reader and/or Acrobat - it does NOTHING w/o one of those installed on the user's computer. ... View more

Please review SDK documentation for the AVCommand APIs and how to use them to automate OCR. Bringing up the dialog is NOT the correct way. If a function is undocumented, that means it's UNSUPPORTED as well... ... View more

The only way to automate OCR in Acrobat is via a plugin (written in C/C++). That can use the AVCommand APIs to do its work. ... View more

Make a copy of the document, storing away the original/archival version.  Then open the copy and use the method described above to remove the PDF/A informatiion (turning it back into a "regular" PDF) and you can comment to your hearts content. ... View more

As already stated, we knew exactly what we were doing when we made the decision and we have no plans to reverse those plans.   All Adobe partners (members of our developer's program) were notified as part of their participation in the beta program.  There was nothing secret here. As for the "PDF Complete Special Edition 4.0.9" - I have NO CLUE what that is.  Don't even know if it comes from Adobe...Certainly doesn't sound like one of ours... The info provided above about the DDE names is correct for Adobe Acrobat and Reader X. ... View more

Documented registry entries can be modified using standard OS tools/techniques - nothing SDK specific. Modification of undocumented entries is at your own risk.

Yeah, that won't work with Reader - sorry! You will need to do the extraction in the plugin and then send that extracted text to the C# code. You will need to send info back to the plugin to tell it what you want hilited and then it can do it... ... View more

No, because they simply do not exist in Reader. They only exist in Acrobat. But if you are writing a plugin, why do you need them? There are much better APIs (PDWordFinder, etc.) available to you via plugins... ... View more

The decision to change the name of the DDE name (for both Acrobat and Reader X) was made for a variety of reasons, not the least of which was due to the new Protected Mode (Sandbox) security model that was introduced.  We knew that the change would impact users with existing DDE-based workflows, but the security and functionality improvements that it offers were considered more important to the wider user base.  The information about the change was provided to developers as part of our pre-release program and also on various blogs following the release. So the change is permanent, we will NOT be going back to the old model. In fact, we will be changing the 10 (to 11, 12, etc.) as the product continues to evolve over time based on the major version of the product.   You should use the registry to find out who owns the .pdf extension to determine what message to send.

As per the PDF/A standard, a "conforming reader" SHOULD disable hyperlinks in a PDF/A conforming file.  Since Adobe Reader 9 is a conforming PDF/A reader, it therefore follows that recommendation from the standard. Leonard Rosenthol Project Leader, ISO 19005 (PDF/A) ... View more
