Adobe Acrobat Portfolio SDK provides new developer tools for the Adobe Flash Builder and Adobe Flash Professional environments.
Using these tools, developers and designers can now leverage their existing ActionScript and Flex skills to create customized PDF Portfolio layouts (navigators) for use in Adobe Acrobat X.
As a result the Flash community can target their client deliverables to the Adobe Reader platform and the PDF ecosystem.
Acrobat Portfolio SDK extends the Adobe Flex 4.1 SDK and provides tools for the Flash Builder 4 environment.
Here are some key features of "Adobe Acrobat Portfolio SDK":
· New Project Wizard in Flash Builder 4 ??? The New Project Wizard is an extension that automates the process of creating a basic navigator project. After running the wizard, you???ll have a basic layout with all the code and resources you need to compile, package and deploy for use in Acrobat X. This is based on one of the layouts that ship with Acrobat X, so you know it???s been tested and is ready to go.
· Flash Builder Debugger ??? Full debugger support in Flash Builder 4.
· Previewer Application ??? The Previewer Application is an AIR-based simulation of the Acrobat and Reader PDF Portfolio runtime. It allows you to test your Layout in various flavors of Acrobat and in Reader with a virtual PDF. It even lets you test your custom properties, metadata, permissions and localization strings, all without loading your Layout into Acrobat itself.
· Export Wizard ??? The Export Wizard packages all needed resources for your custom Layout into a single .nav file. A debug version can be deployed to Acrobat for further testing or a release build can be created for distribution.
· Flash Professional FLA template ??? A template FLA for Flash Professional to create customized Themes that can be imported into a PDF Portfolio.
Requirements:
· Being a plugin to Flash Builder 4, which runs on Eclipse, it runs on all platforms that support Flash Builder 4 and Eclipse 3.5.
