Help Needed on New Plugin Development: Cross Probe between PDF and Allegro

vramanan

Hi Guys

I  am trying to develop a new plugin for Acrobat which will make cross probing from schematic to Allegro easier

 The problem with Concept is you can only select one component at a time

I know that each object in the Schematic PDF has an underlying attribute

I need help/pointers for the following 

 1. Is there a way you can communicate between allegro to acrobat both ways? if so any documentation/example

my plan is to grep for $location attribute inside the pdf and convert to lists based upon the user selection, and highlight the components in those lists using Skill

I hope to get some help and pointers in the right direction, and will appreciate any kind of help

p.s.

I know that there is a company who is selling a product like this, But I want to save some money and do some programming

Regards

Venkata

  • If You have the Acrobat and it is registered, then go to the Adobe Acrbat forum and user sites to find a lot of Acrobat based script, and then when You do know how to, getting info out of the PDF, then use it in Allegro, but i do belive You have to go through a tmp file.

    Unless... Unless it is possible to controll skills and Allegro behaivior from XML files ?
