insert a frame or window into adobe acrobat or reader window

[Mike_Blood@adobeforums.com]

Using Windows OS XP or Vista. Can you ad a frame or window into the main window to allow saving a document through another application? I have an application that routes save documents to specific folders depending on the type of document. I would like to be able to allow my clients to open or create a PDF and then have the option to use the application through a frame or window displayed under the "pages" or "bookmarks" area of Adobe reader. Is this possible and can you point me in the right direction.

There is no way to integrate at that level into the Acrobat UI.

You could, however, write a plugin to Adobe Acrobat/Reader that would present a NEW window of your own inside of Acrobat if you wished. You could also add menu items, toolbars, etc.

Details are in the Acrobat SDK

Mike,

You can't currently add anything to the pages or bookmarks section easily. You can add a toolbar button however.

What I am picturing in my mind is a button called "MikeSave" or something. When the user clicks this button it saves the document using the normal built-in PDDocSaveAs commands and then calls your doc routing application on the newly saved file.

There is a javascript sample about adding toolbar buttons that ships with the SDK. That should be a good place to start.
