How to Access Built in Preflight Fixups

[KUMARARAJA@adobeforums.com]

Is it possible to access the built in Preflight Fixups through API?, if so please let me know that api.

I am using Acrobat 9 SDK with VS 2005

Thanks in Advance

The Preflight APIs are not publicly documented at this time, though we plan to make that information available soon.

In the meatime, you shoudl look at using Preflight Droplets and communicating with them through standard OS APIs.

Leonard, Thanks for your reply,

I am new to Preflight Droplets!, is it related to BatchSequences? could you please tell me know how to create the Preflight Droplets and a name of the API which will be used to access the preflight fixup so that I can proceed further.

Thanks again,

Leonard, Just now I found the Create Preflight Droplets in Options of Preflight, I have created a Droplet, In that I found only Success and Error Process. But how can I set the Source folder, similarly whether is there any argument is there for the droplets EXE?

[KUMARARAJA@adobeforums.com]

I tried with command prompt; I am able to run the Droplets so I hope these Preflight Droplets will help us.

One more clarification is there method to change the Success output folder dynamically for created Droplets?

Thanks for your valuable support.

[Leonard_Rosenthol@adobeforums.com]

No, you can't change any of the settings on the droplet on the fly - so if you want different output folders, create different droplets.

But they are just executables and you can call/execute them like any other passing appropriate parameters.

ok thanks.

How to run Preflight Droplet without invoke the Acrobat Reader professional Window.

[rasith_vahith@adobeforums.com]

can we invoke that droplets with use of .net Programs.

[Leonard_Rosenthol@adobeforums.com]

Since the droplet is simply a "wrapper" around a call to Preflight in Acrobat Professional - it need to run Acrobat and present UI.

A droplet is a standard .exe - you can call it from .NET all you wish.

[rasith_vahith@adobeforums.com]

Thanks. But there is any provision to do without invoke that Acrobat UI.

[Leonard_Rosenthol@adobeforums.com]

No, you will always get the UI.

[rasith_vahith@adobeforums.com]

Thanks alot for your response. There is any provision to do the Preflight with use of Batch Sequence Process. We can able to invoke that Sequence from .NET.

Thanks in Advance.

[Leonard_Rosenthol@adobeforums.com]

Sure, you can add a Preflight operation to a Batch Sequence

[rasith_vahith@adobeforums.com]

Thanks. How can i add preflight to Batch Sequence thru .net application. How can i invoke that Batch Sequence thru .net Applications. Do you have any idea?. Can you give any examples for this?

Advance Thanks.

[rasith_vahith@adobeforums.com]

How can i create Preflight Droplets for all Preflight Profiles thru .net at dynamically. Do you have any samples? Please provide for our reference.

Thanks in Advance

[Leonard_Rosenthol@adobeforums.com]

There are NO APIs for Batch Sequences via .NET.

The ONLY APIs for Batch is via plugins, which are written in C/C++.

The ONLY APIs for talking to Preflight directly is via JavaScript.

[rasith_vahith@adobeforums.com]

Thanks for your reply.
Can we do preflight Droplets creation in dynamically in .net or javascript?. do you have any examples for this please provide for our reference.

[rasith_vahith@adobeforums.com]

Thanks in Advance.
