Using Adobe Dialog Manager (ADM) in Acrobat JavaScript
Introduction
The Adobe Dialog Manager (ADM) is a cross-platform API for implementing dialog-based
user interfaces in a uniform way for Adobe applications such as Acrobat, Photoshop,
Illustrator, and After Effects. Acrobat JavaScript provides a convenient interface to ADM
through which you may implement modal dialogs containing list objects and other
controls normally included in graphical user interfaces, including buttons, text, text boxes,
check boxes, radio buttons, progress bars, scroll bars, and sliders. These are summarized
below in
Table 10.1.
