PlugIn not loading Acrobat 8

[ssanthu@adobeforums.com]

Hi,

We migrated old version(Ver 7) plug in to Version 8 using 8 SDK libraries and VS2005.On development box it's working fine according to our requirements, but the same plug in file is copied to plug_ins folder of other machine having acrobat 8 but the plug in is not loading.

please give some solution.

Thanks

Did you compile your code in debug or release mode?

Compiled in debug and release mode.
But i took the release version to copy to other machine.

First step is to make work in other system having acrobat professional edition..

Then our final goal is to distrubute this PlugIn to external users.
Users may use any edition like professional ,reader or standard.
After completion of first step then we will do reader enable.

Both(debug and release) are working fine in development machine having Acobat 8 and VS2008.

Thanks,

Use the Dependency Walker ( <http://www.dependencywalker.com/> ) to check all necessary DLLs.

Hi,

The common cause of this is your release build still containing a debug or similar flag that requires the .NET frameworks to be installed.

Using the dependency walker described above should allow you to narrow down what is causing the problem and then you can hopefully remove it from the project.

You must compile and bind your code in release mode.

Yes i Rebuild the project with release mode in VS2005 and opened .api file in dependecywalker , but still those dll's are presenting

[ssanthu@adobeforums.com]

Bernd,

Now I removed those dll's ..
Then i will try to test..

Thanks you very much for your help..

HI,

It looks to me like those dll are DEBUG dll's that means that even though you are choosing release mode, some setting in your project is still including the Debug versions of the DLL's.

To solve this you need to check your release settings and make sure that all the settings are valid for a release project.
