Is there any way using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 SDK API/Plugin development to check if a PDF file is optimized and if there are broken links in the PDF file?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 7.0.5, Windows

What do you mean by optimized? Optimized for what?

If you have some idea of what it means to you then you can use the C/C++ SDK for Plug-In development for figure out if PDF is optimized. From a plug-in you can also check the links by using system resources outside of Acrobat.

Neither JavaScript or the VB IAC interface will help you.

After the pdf document has been created we want to programatically check that at the time of pdf file creation whether the "Save as optimizes for Fast Web View" option (in Edit->Preferences->Documents->Save Settings) was checked. This is what i meant by optimized.The other requirement is to check for broken links within the document itself or broken links to some external resource.

Also want to confirm whether C/C++ SDK for Plug-In development for ver 7.0.5 supports this or it is new in ver 8.0.

Any pointers towards meeting both these requirements will be helpful.
