Can somebody help me to fig out what version of Acrobat SDK shall I
use? I am developing an Adobe Reader plugin using visual C++ 6. The
plugin will add a new toolbar to the adobe reader. Here is the
requirement

1. The pluging must works for adobe reader version 4.0 and above.
2. It must works for Win95, Win98, Win NT, Win2000, Win XP.

What version of Acrobat SDK shall I use?

You would need the Acrobat 4 SDK.  HOWEVER, since you need a Reader
Enabling Kit from Adobe, I think the hope for you is very small. I
don't think they supply back level Reader enabling.

Of course Adobe won't supply the Acrobat 4 SDK either, but there might
be one on your Acrobat 4 CDROM.

My plugin is very simple. It just need to do the following:

1. Read the entire PDF text.
2. Highlight some PDF text. For example, highlight all appearrance of
the word "good"

Can I use acrobat 7 SDK to do build the plugin? Will it works with
adobe reader 4, 5, 6, 7?

No. The Acrobat 7 SDK will only make plug-ins that load in Acrobat 7.

It won't work with Reader at all until Adobe agree to your request for
a Reader Enabling Key. As I said, perhaps not clearly enough, they are
unlikely to let you enable for old versions of Acrobat.
