The code adds a new menu item under the acrobat SDK menu and displays a simple message. With the basic plugin framework set up in the sample, users can quickly make a plugin of their own by modifying and adding the code in the file to set up their own menu item and menu function. BatesNumbering Location Plugins/ Samples /BatesNumbering Description Demonstrates Bates Numbering features exposed to third-party developers: How to extract Bates Numbering that is added by acrobat .

7 How to use acrobat API to programmatically add Bates Numbering to PDF documents. How to use acrobat API to programmatically remove Bates Numbering from PDF documents. Usage Follow these steps to test the functionality of the sample: Open a PDF document. Click acrobat SDK > Bates Numbering > to add Bates Numbering to the PDF document. Click Acroabt SDK > Bates Numbering > to extract Bates Numbering from the PDF document. Click acrobat SDK > Bates Numbering > to remove Bates Numbering from the PDF. document. Note: This plugin will not work in Adobe Reader. 5. Adobe acrobat SDK Plugin Samples Guide to SDK Samples CapiSamples 6. CapiSamples Location Plugins/ Samples /CapiSamples Description There are two Samples in this demonstration.

8 One is SampleCsp. It is a DLL, and it is the actual Cryptographic Service Provider (CSP). The SampleRegistrar sample uses the services provided by SampleCsp. The purpose of SampleCsp is to provide a reference implementation. The cryptographic functionality of this CSP is passed through to the Microsoft Enhanced Crypto Provider. This implementation currently works on PFX files. SampleCsp opens the PFX files and uses the credential within them. SampleRegistrar is a separate application which allows users to manage the certificates bound to SampleCsp. This application interacts with SampleCsp to do the following: Register a digital ID file (PFX file) and add its certificates to the windows "My" store.

9 Un-register a digital ID file and remove its certificates from the windows "My" store. List the registered digital IDs. Usage This sample requires a CSP digitally signed by Microsoft. Download Microsoft's CSDK from Once signed, locate SampleCsp in the MsSignedSampleCsp directory. To manage certificates by SampleRegistrar: 1. Compile SampleRegistrar. 2. Register SampleCsp by doing the following: At Dos prompt, go to the MsSignedSampleCsp directory. Type in Command 'regsvr32 '. 3. At the DOS prompt, go to the directory where resides. 4. Use the following commands to manage certificates: To list registered PFXs: ' -l'. To register PFX: ' -r password'. To un-register PFX: ' -u <hex-encoded-sha1-cert-digest>'.

10 There are some easy tests you can run to check the CSP is working with acrobat : 1. Register a digital ID via the CSP. It must show up in the Security Settings under "Windows Digital IDs". 2. Try to make a digital signature with the registered digital ID. Adobe acrobat SDK Plugin Samples Guide to SDK Samples DdeServer 7. 3. Encrypt a file for this certificate and then try to decrypt it. You need to close the document and reopen it. If all of these tests pass, then the CSP is working. The effect should be to un-register the digital ID, not to actually delete the file. Note: This plugin is Windows only. DdeServer Location PluginSupport/ Samples /DdeServer Description Demonstrates how to establish communication between an external application and an acrobat plugin using DDE.
