Running TOCBuilder under the latest version of Adobe Acrobat DC

Getting Started

Please read the following instructions to help you install and get started using this software. For the full instructions please see the user guide and also this quick video guide.

Installation

Please make sure that you have the full version of Acrobat installed or at least a demo version of Acrobat. The plugin becomes part of Adobe® Acrobat so once the software is installed you will need to open Adobe® Acrobat to use it. However Acrobat must not be loaded and running during this installation.

To install the software:

1. Extract the installer from the zip file that you have downloaded. In Windows you probably won’t have to extract the installer as the zip file will open just like a folder.

Running TOCBuilder under the latest version of Adobe Acrobat

You may encounter problems saving configurations in TOCBuilder when running under the latest versions of Acrobat DC (both 32bit and 64bit). Acrobat is often installed with protected mode on which is stopping access to external files and the registry. This can be switched off in the Edit/Preferences menu and then by going to the Security (Enhanced) tab. Please see the screenshot below:
