Please see our USENIX Security'17 paper
Building and running the PlatPal Adobe Reader plugin is rather complicated so please allow me a bit more time to document down the procedure.
As a starting point, the script acrobat/driver/build/run.py should be
self-explanatory. However, you do need to acquire a private Adobe signing
key to finish up the building process. Details can be found in the official
Adobe SDK documentationat
In addition, although the plugin is written in a cross-platform manner, the
building process on Mac OS and Window is totally different. Python scripts
are available (build/mac.py, build/win.py respectively) to allow you to
build the plugin all from your command line and thus, avoiding Xcode and
Visual Studios.
