Technologies available within the Acrobat SDK

The primary technologies for creating software to extend or customize Adobe Reader are JavaScript,
interapplication communication, and plug-ins. For information about choosing an appropriate technology
for your project, see the Overview guide.
It is important to consider the role of Adobe LiveCycle® Reader Extensions in your development efforts
with JavaScript and plug-ins. Though the APIs available for Adobe Reader are normally limited in both
cases, additional APIs can be used for a given PDF document if that document is rights-enabled, meaning
that it has additional usage rights. LiveCycle Reader Extensions is a server product that enables document
producers and creators to quickly and easily embed additional usage rights into PDF documents, which
results in extra functionality when the documents are opened. The extra functionality makes the following
activities possible:
Saving forms with results offline
●
Connecting forms to databases or online services
●
Attaching files and media clips
●
Saving copies of documents with changes intact
