This document describes how to update your SDK plug-in code and development environments for Adobe® Illustrator® CS4. It details changes in the public API and other aspects of the SDK since the CS3 release. To begin porting, follow these steps: 1. Ensure that your system meets the basic requirements specified in “Development platforms” section in Getting Started with Adobe Illustrator CS4 Development. 2. Install the SDK. 3. Examine the documentation, then compile and run the samples. 4. To port your own plug-in projects and code, follow the recommended procedures. As an architecture improvement, annotation drawing in Illustrator CS4 can now be carried out by the AGM Compositor instead of the GDI and QuickDraw platform APIs. The following changes were made to the public API. New AIAnnotatorDrawerSuite This is the recommended suite to draw annotations in response to an AIAnnotatorMessage. Annotations using ADMDrawer and AGMSuite are still supported in CS4, but future releases may disallow annotation drawing using platform APIs like GDI/GDI+ on Windows and QuickDraw and Quartz on Mac OS. AINewDocumentPreset struct changes As part of the implementation of the multiple artboard feature, the following attributes were added to the AINewDocumentPreset struct in AIDocumentList.h. These are used to set additional controls in the New Document dialog. New features added to the existing radial gradient, including an aspect-ratio parameter and an angle (previously available only with linear gradients), give the effect of an elliptical gradient. AIArtStylePaintData struct changes A new AIReal value, which specifies the actual aspect ratio of a gradient, was added to the AIArtStylePaintDataStruct, This ratio does not include any object transformations. This new value was added to support the new elliptical-gradient feature in Illustrator CS4.
