Datalogics initialization and AdobeFnt13.1.lst

Question

For initialization of the Datalogics APDFL 10.1.0 I'm calling the following code:

pdflData.pluginDirListLen = PDFLGetDirList2(&pdflData.pluginDirList, sBinPath, _T(""));

I have noticed that this will generate a file AdobeFnt13.1.lst listing all files in the specified directory including all subfolders recursively.
Excerpts:

%BeginFont
Handler:DirectoryHandler
FontType:Invalid
OutlineFileName:C:\Program Files (x86)\MyCompany\MyProgram\MyModule.pdb
FileModTime:1520519039
%EndFont

%BeginFont
Handler:DirectoryHandler
FontType:Invalid
OutlineFileName:C:\Program Files (x86)\MyCompany\MyProgram\MyProgram.chm
FileModTime:1370341752
%EndFont

This seems to be wrong, as I want to announce any "plug-in" to the library, only.
The *.ppi files in particular. For example the "DL100PDFProcessor.ppi".

Is there any harm in having such listing auto-generated? I couldn't find much information on those AdobeFnt*.lst files so far.

Answer 1

If you have a look at our sample code for library initialization you will see you just need to point pluginDirList to point to the path where your PDFL binaries live. Note: The sample code is for v15 of PDFL, but the concepts are applicable in v10.

You don't have to worry about interacting with AdobeFnt*.lst file normally as PDFL manages it automatically and it deals with lookup of directories to find resources on the machine.
