The Acrobat API gives you the most powerful tools for accessing and modifying PDF data. The typical way to access the API is with an Acrobat plug-in.
A plug-in is a DLL (on Windows), and it is created from C or C++ source code using a compiler such as Microsoft's Visual C++ or the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). In this hack, we'll explain how to install the free (and fabulous) GCC compiler on Windows. Then, we'll install the Acrobat SDK. Finally, we'll build a sample plug-in using GCC.
You can also compile Acrobat plug-ins for Macintosh and Unix. Adobe provides separate SDKs for each platform. Typically, you compile Macintosh Acrobat plug-ins using Metrowerks CodeWarrior.
