The Navigator SDK for PDF Portfolio Layouts is finally out of beta and is available for download. Samples, updated documentation and other resources are available in the Acrobat 9.1 SDK August 2009 update. You can get it by following the link below.
NOTE: If you have already created navigators for your PDF Portfolios, it is highly recommended that you replace the AcrobatAPI.swc file in your project, recompile and update your .NAV files. Be sure to increment the “version” attribute in your navigator.xml file to make applying your updated navigator to your existing PDF Portfolios.

Hi,
Could you please provide information on how to debug a PDF portfolio navigator? I am trying to build my own and for some reason, it will not even initialize when I select it. I can load the Module in a Flex Application and it initializes properly – but no luck to load into Acrobat. I have used your own samples and tried to build them without success. It must be something in my environment but I do not know where to start looking because no errors that I can see comes up.
Thanks,
Alain.
On the debugging question, take a look at my post describing how to turn on error and trace statements at the URL below.

On the question of the samples not working… you may be using a higher version of the Flex SDK, the AcrobatAPI.swc requires the Flex 3.0.0 SDK. I had the same problem after the Flex Builder 3 auto-updater updated my Flex SDK. One day my code worked, next day it didn’t, no changes….took me a while to track down.
You can get the Flex 3.0.0 SDK at the following URL.
