    Acrobat 10 and plug-ins for Acrobat 9 incompatibility?

    andrejusc Community Member

      Hi,

       

      Today I've installed trial version of Acrobat 10 to check if my plug-in for Acrobat 9 could run for it as well. But after Acrobat 10 launch I've got a window:

       

      Acrobat.exe - Unable to Locate Component

      This application has failed to start because MSVCP80.dll was not found.

       

      Quick check over plug-ins shipped now inside Acrobat 10 showed me that they are using now MSVCP90.DLLL library instread of MSVCP80.dll used for Acrobat 9.

       

      Does it mean that we need to recompile our source code with higher version of MS Visual Studio? If so - what version should we use?

       

      Does it also mean that our plug-ins prepared for Acrobat 9 are incompatible with Acrobat 10 or there is some way they could still run without recompilation?

       

      Any comments on this would be highly appreciated.
