After obtaining the proper developer rights to install the Adobe SDK library files on my system, I began the process of creating the HelloWorldDialog use case. After creating the Starter.vcxproj project, the next step was to ensure that the Starter.vcxproj file built successfully. Therefore, I installed Microsoft Visual Studio 22 and downloaded the following workloads and individual components:
- .NET Multiplatform App UI development
- .NET desktop development
- Desktop development with C++
Individual components:
- Windows 10 SDK (10.0.18362.0)
- C++ v14.43 (17.13) ATL for v143 build tools (x86 & x64)
- C++ v14.43 (17.13) MFC for v143 build tools (x86 & x64)
I resolved my build issues in the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) setup for Visual Studio 22, ensuring it was configured correctly and building successfully.
According to the output from Visual Studio 22, the Starter.api file will export the plugin to the Acrobat file location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\plug_ins
After restarting Acrobat and opening it to verify, the plugin should be listed with the rest of the Adobe plugins. Unfortunately, the Starter.api isn't listed in the list of plugins when I check the Adobe Plug-ins.
Anyone know how you can test out new created plugin in Adobe?
