Working with Acrobat Extended APIs
Some of Acrobat's default plug-ins expose their APIs for use by third parties. These are Acrobat's extended
APIs. The AcroColor extended API is the only extended API that is not in a plug-in: it is part of the Acrobat
core, but is considered an extended API because it does not cleanly fit into the layered structure of the
core. Although the APIs are documented in the Acrobat and PDF Library API Reference, this chapter provides
an overview.
This chapter contains the following information.
