Acrobat 9 trial PDF Active X browser control seems to be missing

Hi, I've downloaded Acrobat 9 SDK and the trial version of Acrobat 9.
I can see the AcroPDF and all the interfaces / classes the doc is refering to but not the reader 9 viewer compliant Active X. It's neither in the toolbox of Visual Studio nor in the component list and I've serached for .ocx in the whole adobe directory unsuccessfully.
Is it just not part of the trial version ?
Alternatively, I diplay the viewer this way but I'd like to evaluate the Acrobat Reader option.
CAcroApp caa = new AcroAppClass();
caa.Show();
By the way, how can I assign my form to hold (be the parent of) this AcroAppClass ?
Thanks
Frederic

I mean the ActiveX, obviously I don't know its file name since I can't find it...
Here is what the sample comment says (in the code):
This is a simple C# sample demonstrating how to use PDF ActiveX control
in a C# application. To do that, you need first add it to your project's
references by selecting "Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Browswer Control Type Library 1.0"
from "Project - Add References... - COM". In order to be able to drag-drop
the ActiveX control to a window in your application, you need add the Acrobat
ActiveX control to the "Toolbox" by selecting "Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Browser
Control" from "Tools - Add/Remove Toolbox Items... - COM".
Pb: Adobe Acrobat Browser Control is not part of the list.
Also, samples didn't show how to create the viewer control into a parent window, it opens in a separate free window

  • Acrobat not displaying PDFs properly in browser

    this seems to only happen on chrome where if viewed in browser some graphics, especially text isnt displayed properly or in this case not at all. You can see the "Fi" in financial is missing. This is a major problem because most people who view the site are hitting download and the PDF is being opened automatically within browser. Is there a fix for this? Did I export wrong in Indesign? Do fonts have to be rendered into an object before exporting as PDF (thats a hassle)?
    BUT a quick fix is to download the PDF, view in browswer then refresh the page and all fonts display. Weird. This is a step that many will miss.
    This is what it looks like when downloaded and viewed within acrobat. note the thicker font

    You are probably viewing the PDF file in the Google Chrome PDF viewer and NOT the Adobe PDF Viewer. 
    1.  Check your plug-ins by going to:
    chrome://plugins
    2.  Go to the entry Chrome PDF Viewer.
    3.  If you see (enabled) then you are using Chrome's  PDF viewer.
    It's lacking in a lot of ways for functionality.  Fonts is one of them.
    4.  You can disable it
    5.  Then go to the the listing for Adobe Reader
    Adobe PDF Plug-in For Firefox and Netscape <versionNumber>
    6. Then enable it.
    7.  Done

  • Acrobat does not opens a PDF in the Browser at all times

    Required:
    I need to ensure Acrobat opens a PDF in the Browser at all times, and not have Reader hijack the task.  All fixes for this I have found won’t work as they render Reader inoperable. i.e. uninstalling Reader or denying users to the Reader executable AcroRd32.exe
    Situation:
    I have a problem with Adobe Reader and Acrobat Standard 8.2.5.  This is on a Terminal Server 2003 with 10 users.  They require both Acrobat and Reader be accessible due to specific 3rd party applications related to banking software. 
    Problem:
    They must open PDFs in a browser with Acrobat so they may fill the forms and save them.  Acrobat doesn’t consistently open the file; Reader hijacks the file when clicked to open and their ability to fill the forms is hindered. 
    -    Open PDF in browser is checked in Acrobat
    -    Open PDF in browser is NOT checked in Reader
    Sometimes when the Acrobat desktop icon is clicked, Reader opens instead.  Having Acrobat open in the background does help but is not consistent.
    Also uninstalling Reader from the Server is unacceptable due to a 3rd party banking application for loans.  This application is hard coded to open AcroRd32.exe within the application for opening PDFs. 
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Ken

    Try this, when I right clicked on the document to rotate the image a noticed a tool bar appeared at the bottom of the page with the save icon. It then disappeared, but by hovering at near the bottom of the document the tool bar appears and I can save the PDF.

  • Why does my Acrobat Pro 9 PDF print driver either lock up or become confused as to where it should store a file when printing a document from within the Firefox browser?

    I use Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.5 for creating .pdf files on a Windows XP SP3 platform. Firefox 6.0.2 is my browser of choice. This question only applies to the .pdf printing process. All other printer drivers work fine with this version of Firefox.
    In attempt to save paper, I choose to print most documents in an electronic .pdf format using the PDF print driver and save them to my USB drive. Before upgrading my Firefox version to 6.0.2 this process seemed to work fine but after upgrading the .pdf print process seems to be experiencing problems. This particular printing process will cause Firefox to lock up when the distiller tries to print the file to what I believe is a temporary folder under the Adobe folder. When it does this I am sometimes able to force it to complete the process but frequently it will only produce a log not a .pdf file. On other occasions the distiller will just lock up mid print without producing any kind of error message. In both cases I will frequently have to use Windows Task Manager to break out of the process which then shuts down the Firefox browser. I don't seem to have any problems when I use Internet Explorer to perform the same function. As far as I am aware I am running the most current drivers as Adobe automatically pushes down updates to me as they become available. Any ideas how I can overcome this issue or is it inherent to the new version of Firefox?

    The PDF file itself does not control the "print as image" preference, which should always be turned OFF unless there's a specific need to rasterize the entire page, and is turned off by default in all Acrobat and Adobe Reader installations.
    What's the filetype for the ultralight font and what export setting* are you using in ID? If you're exporting to earlier than PDF1.7, OpenType fonts will be converted and may experience some small changes in shape if their hint definitions aren't done right.
    *As a side note, bear in mind that InDesign does not use any part of Acrobat when exporting PDFs, so questions specific to that stage in the process should be posted to the InDesign forums.

  • Hyperlinks not working in adobe acrobat 7.0 browser control type library 1.0

    Hi,
    We have used the adobe acrobat 7.0 browser control type library 1.0  in our VB 6.0 project to show the pdf files.
    We generate pdf files using oracle reports. We have generated some pdf files which contains hyperlink to UNC path.
    If we open that pdf file using acrobat reader it works fine and we can access the file kept on the path specified at hyperlink,
    problems arise when we open that file from front end ie. from VB 6.0 which uses the browser control, we are not able open the files through the links.
    Could you please help us on this. Are we missing any properties or methods of the browser control? Or we need to use higher version of the control.
    Thank you.

    Thanks for your reply. I'll check at Adobe forums as you suggested. If you're right that no Firefox plugin is available for my version of Adobe Acrobat, I'll have to give up using Firefox just after installing it! And I do like it!

  • Problem with Acrobat Reader Browser Control (LoadFile)

    Hi
    I am trying to use the Acrobat Reader Browser ActiveX Control to show a PDF file in a window from my application but I am finding a problem. It all works fine, unless I have the exact same PDF file open in Acrobat Reader at the same time. If I have the exact same PDF file open, the Browser Control appears to completely fail when I tell it to LoadFile. No errors are raised, but the control simply appears as a white rectangle with no controls at all. In fact, it is the same appearance that it has if you don't call LoadFile at all.
    I have Reader 9.3.4, I am using VB6, I have drawn an instance of the control at design time. I am only calling LoadFile, like this
    Private Sub Form_Load()
        AcroPDF1.LoadFile "c:\mypdf.pdf"
    End Sub
    I have read the OLE parts of the interapplication developer guide and the interapplication communication api reference and I can't see that I am doing anything wrong.
    Can anyone help? Is this perhaps a known problem in Reader?
    Thanks in advance
    Mark

    Hi everyone,
    I have found a workaround, inspired by another post about LoadFile problems. Rather than LoadFile I am now using the "src" property of the control. This works even when the PDF file is open in Acrobat Reader. My code is now
    Private Sub Form_Load()
        AcroPDF1.src = "c:\mypdf.pdf"
    End Sub
    I don't understand why this should work, but it does.
    Thanks
    Mark

  • How to use the 64 bit Adobe PDF Browser Control (AcroPDF64.dll) in x64 WinForms VS2012

    I noticed that sice 11.0.07 there is a 64 bit version of the AcroPDF.dll called AcroPDF64.dll. Does this mean that I can use the PDF Browser Control in a x64 WinForms application? If so, what do I need to do to get this to work?
    When I right click on the "Toolbox" and select "Choose Items..." there is only the possibility to select the Adobe PDF Reader pointing to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroPDF.dll" and not a version using the AcroPDF64.dll
    When I click in this dialog on the "Browse..." btton and select the AcroPDF64.dll nothing happens.
    Now I am stuck with an "Initializing..." message when loading a PDF in the control. The control is working when switching back to x86 (but which I can't because I need to reference a dll that is only available in 64 bit).
    Please advice, thank you in advance!

    Thank you for your reply.
    Does this means that it is still not possible to use the PDF ActiveX control in a x64 WinForms application?

  • Visual Studio 2013. Viewing a PDF file via the Web Browser control in Windows 8.1

    I am writing a Windows Forms application in which I need to view PDF files via the Web Browser control. When the control is given the Navigate() command, Windows takes over and asks which program I want to open the file with. All was fine with VS 2010 and
    XP. I have un-installed "PDF Complete", which was the default PDF viewer, but I now get asked for an alternative.
    Thanks in advance.
    Mike Saunders

    Hi Mike,
    It seems that we could use Internet Explorer to open a local .PDF file if it has the Adobe Reader. I doubt that the web control would be related to it. Like the MVP's suggset in the following thread, maybe it would be related
    to certain plug-in tools in your side like the adober reader.

    Not sure when it started happening, however either after upgrading to Safari 4.0.2 or installing the entire Master Collection of CS4, Safari will no longer load PDF's into a window. The error message reads:

    See if you can find a NPPDF32.DLL files in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\)
    You can see the installed plugins on the about:plugins page.

    You can set the pref plugin.expose_full_path to true on the about:config page to see the full path of plugins on the about:plugins page.
    It is best not to leave that pref set to true as it exposes that full path to web servers, so reset that pref to false after you are done with the about:plugins page.
    You can open about:plugins and about:config via the location bar, like you open a website (about: is a special protocol to access some build-in pages).
    If you get a warning when opening the about:config page then you can confirm that you want to continue.

  • The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again.OK. I followed the instruction and the problem still persists.

    Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again.
    I tried many time, and it really doesn't work.
    The plug-in I have is Adobe Acrobat 8.3.0.280

    After I upgraded to Firefox 5, I had the same problem and I did a work around temporarily. I went the tools menu, then Add-ons, then clicked the "Plugins" on the left side (4th one down). I "disabled" both Adobe Acrobat 8.3.0.280 and Adobe Acrobat 10.1.0.536 using the disable buttons on the right side. PDF files now open again. However they are outside the actual browser.
    My guess is that Adobe didn't catch up yet with a new update to work with Firefox or vice versa.
    Hope that helps!

  • Acrobat Help | Display PDF in browser | Acrobat XI

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html

    Even clicking on a link to a PDF file from a "pinned" site (which, according to Microsoft, isn't supposed to be able to run with add-ons) causes the PDF file to open in the browser.
    I'm using IE10 on Windows 8 Pro x64. I remember reading that Microsoft integrated Adobe Flash into IE10...I think they did the same with Adobe Reader. I just found out that pinned sites in IE10 can be used to view Flash videos, so it would seem that I am correct. Does anyone else agree with me?

  • Cannot get Acrobat Reader or Pro to open PDF IN FF browser

    I have a Win7, 64 bit laptop. I have Acrobat Pro X, and Acrobat Reader 11.
    I cannot get FF to open a pdf using either of these readers INSIDE the browser. I do not like the internal PDF viewer and I was trying to get Acrobat to render the PDF in the browser. However, whenever I choose acrobat (either one) in options, it will merely download it and open it the application. However, what I want it to do is to open it IN the browser, not in the application.
    There is no option for Portable Document Format that includes Acrobat in browser. I had configured it to work properly, but I had to reformat my computer and I can't get it to work again. I have disabled and re-enabled the add-ins for Acrobat, and I still can't get it to work.

    Which version(s) of Adobe Reader/Adobe Acrobat do you have? Do you know whether they are up-to-date? I recommend using the product's Help menu to Check for Updates to make sure they are up-to-date.
    Then open the Firefox Add-ons page using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * 3-bar menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Plugins.
    Look in the lower section (gray background) for "Adobe Acrobat" and change it from "Never Activate" to "Always Activate".
    Then it should become available in the Options dialog.
    Does it work?
    Also, I noticed you have a NitroPDF plugin listed in your More System Details. In case that one is conflicting, if you don't plan to use it, consider switching it to "Never Activate" when you are on the Add-ons page.

  • How I make the Web Browser Control to display a PDF in Windows 8

    I have an application that run ok in previous version of windows,  Where I can load a PDF file and the web browser control automatically use the Reader OCX of Adobe,, After Install windows 8 and download the reader for windows 8 still get and (X) where the document should be displayed.  I use the following command in my program to force the windows 8 to use the same web browser (10) in my web browser control.
    WebBrowser1.Navigate(DocumentName,"",Nothing,"User-Agent:Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; Trident/6.0)")
    But still get an  (X). IF I use the URL that is in the property of the (X) and paste in my regular IE10, it open the PDF file.

    Adobe Reader Touch is a Windows Store app and does not install a browser add-on/plug-in for "in-browser" PDF viewing.
    You can either
    Install Adobe Reader XI (desktop app) which installs browser plug-ins for Microsoft IE and Mozilla Firefox
    Use Google Chrome, which has a built-in PDF viewer (enabled by default)

  • Acrobat print window crashed when try to a print the PDF opened through browser

    Hi,
    I have Acobat pro and reader installed on my machine.
    I have set the properties - Open pdf in browser. So, all the PDFs are opening in browser uses Acrobat not the reader.
    And this is way I want. It was woking fine on Windows XP.
    After Windows 7 upgrade, Print option on acrobat (pdf opened in browser), makes browser crashed. Printing window (pop up) appears but looks it is hanged. No OK, cancel buttons appears.
    If I uncheck the acrobat properties - Open pdf in browser, then it works fine. But my other applications which need acrobat in the browser start crashing.
    Is there any property/setting which is restricting print dialog box/ making browser not to respond?
    Please advise.

    Yes, I updated Acrobat through update option last week.
    Acrobat 9.5.2
    Windows 7 64 bit OS
    Adobe Reader XI
    Browser IE 10
    In print window couple of fields which get drop down automatically have blank values.
    Please let me know if you need more information. 
    Arcobat shows proper print window (pop up) if I uncheck the checkbox - Open pdf in browser. And then I open pdf in acrobat and try to print it.
