find elements in the specified area(AVDevRect) (Acrobat SDK 8.0)

Hi,

Thanks for the last replies..

Kindly help me with the following issue:-

I have an acrobat plug in code in c++, which am not too familiar with.
In this code, on click of a menu, user can draw a rectangular region on a pdf page using rectangle cursor(AVPageCursor).
The question is: How do i draw a table (i.e rows and columns) inside this user selected region through code?
Has anybody done this before?
Does acrobat provide any function to draw a table?

There is no such thing as a table in PDF terms, and no special tools
to make them.

What you see as a table is simply text and lines, independently placed
on the page. You can use the PDFEdit layer to do this. It would be
valuable to have read the chapters on graphics and text in the PDF
Reference in preparation for this, none too simple, task.

No.

OR you might want to consider adding a collection of AcroForm fields...
