While using the following code

ExportPDFResult result = pdfGenClient.exportPDF2(

                inDoc,

                inputFileName,

                ConvertPDFFormatType.RTF,

                null);

I am getting the exception.

Error OCCURRED: ALC-PDG-080-023-Acrobat_PATH environment variable either not set or is invalid. Please set this variable to point to Acrobat.exe in Acrobat version 10. Acrobat_PATH should be set to

<Acrobat_Home>\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe. Here <Acrobat_Home> is the parent folder where the Acrobat is installed.

I have configured the Path variable as

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

C:\Users\pushpendra.singh>echo %Acrobat_PATH%

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe

C:\Users\pushpendra.singh>

Do i need to downgrade and install Acrobat 10.I was under the impression that back porting should always be supported by Acrobat 11.

Let me know

Regards

If you refer to the documentation http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/10.0/supported_platforms.html#PDFG you'll see you do need Acrobat X not XI.  Acrobat XI is supported in next release of PDF/G that is currently in prerelease.
