    Where could I find AdobePDFL.lib file?

    andrejusc Community Member
      Hi,
      I've downloaded Adobe Acrobat SDK 8 (file SDK8_v2_Full_win.zip), but don't see mentioned in plug-ins development guide AdobePDFL.lib inside that zip. Should I run some additional setup for it to be extracted?

          The document is incorrect to state that the PDF Library is shipped
          with the SDK. The PDF Library must be separately licensed, usually
          from DataLogics.

            Hi Aandi,

            Thank you for quick reply. Could you tell me if I need that PDF Library if I want to compile plug-in? Or Acrobat SDK by itself (i.e. without PDF Library API/SDK) is enough for that? What I need from plug-in is ability to shift particular PDF file page by specific margin right/left for later book printing.

              No, not at all. This is a separate product that lets you write
              applications that don't need Acrobat.

              Well, the SDK by itself doesn't do anything, it's just documentation,
              samples, header files. I just want to emphasise that if you write a
              plug-in, it has to be loaded into Acrobat where it will be run, for
              example, when a menu item is used (the plug-in chooses that). You will
              not be able to use the free Reader as a substitute for Acrobat.
