Is it safe to call a plug-in from A4D?
No sir, wrap the plugin call and then call the 4D wrapper.
I guess it kind of defends on the definition of "safe".
I've used 4d wrappers to access and modify OT Objects. Actually most
of the wrappers were already on our system from someone's past effort.
Last year we purchased PDF plugin and I wanted to use it from
Active4D. PDF Plugin calls are much more complex than Object Tools
and just didn't look forward to writing a bunch of wrappers -
especially since I was not sure what commands I would need (just
learning PDF Lib calls). I then tried using Execute in 4D and the %
formating operator to call the plugin. After a little help from the
list <http://www.mail-archive.com/active4d-dev%40aparajitaworld.com/
msg03481.html> and Aparajita with "Chop Text", I've managed to get it
working quite well - including trapping errors etc.
