Acrobat Control for ActiveX

How can we open a PDF in Acrobat Control for ActiveX using API AcroExch.AVDoc

You have described two different APIs. Which one do you want to use?
If you feel you have a need for both, please say why, because this is
a major problem.

  • Labview6.1 hangs on windows 98 when using adobe acrobat control for activex to open pdf file

    I downloaded the attached vi from this forum and it works perfectly in windows XP with the same version of labview(6.1) and adobe acrobat reader (6.0). However, it hangs immediately when i am just trying to open the vi on windows 98....
    I have also experimented with the MS browser activex control(activex container + object), it works on both windows XP and 98 for opening html files and on XP, it can open a link that leads to an PDF file display properly in the container window but it fails again in 98.
    Please help ...... thanks

  • How to open pdf from an url into an acrobat control for vb

    I have a vb requirement like this:
    We have pdf files generated on a server and put in path like http://servername:port/pdfReports/report.pdf
    Desktop applications need to show these files.. we have an acrobat reader control on one of the forms and trying to load the pdf.
    We want this to be implemented for clients who have older versions of pdf readers like ver 5, 6, 8, also.. not just 9
    opening a file on the control like below works.
    objPDF.LoadFile "c:\temp\test.pdf"
    but network paths or http paths dont work.. what methods should be used ? and can anybody provide some sample code in vb if available.. so it is easy to understand dependencies.
    Thanks,
    Harish

    There is no support for direct opening of an http/network-based path in the control.  You need to use a standard web browser control instead and give it the URL for a PDF.

  • "the activex control for flash player could not be registered" - Solutions Roundup

    I recently ran into this problem on my computer:
    http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems2.jpg
    I am a Flash developer (as in I write SWFs, I don't work for Adobe).  and when I updated IE to 10.2, "the activex control for flash player could not be registered".  Since I am a developer, I also have Firefox and Chrome installed, with Flash running without problems.  For a long time now, Internet Explorer has used a different version (ActiveX) to the other browsers, which use plugins.  I am a strong supporter of Flash, it's great to develop with and has a very wide feature set which is growing all the time, unlike fixed technologies/standards.  However, the weakest part is the install process - I don't understand why their is a Download Manager.  Google Chrome does it's best (so far) by managing the install/update process entirely in the background.  Anyway, it was in my best interest to try and get to the bottom of this.
    For the record, on the problem machine I have Windows 7 with IE8, but I have seen almost  identical symptoms with IE9, Windows XP SP3, as well as various  iterations of Flash Player (10.0, 10.1, 10.2 and even some final  editions of version 9).
    First I tried the standard support here:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html
    Basically, doing the manual uninstall and manual install of the latest version (without using the download manager, or have IE open).  This did not work.  I also tried the Microsoft "subinacl" program, together with "reset_fp10.bat".  This didn't work either.  However, you should try all of these things first before progressing further.
    A quick note about people who had tried running the following at a command prompt: "secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose"
    I didn't do this, because on investigating further it didn't seem to work with Windows 7, only Windows XP, Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 - though there was a few threads where this had fixed the problem for some users.
    For my solution, it is recommended you use the manual uninstall / installers, so you should have them downloaded ready to use.
    I then heard about problems with permissions in the registry with the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
    So I opened regedit.exe (start - run - typed "regedit.exe"), navigated to the key and sure enough, I couldn't open it - permission denied - even though I had an administrator account.  If for some reason, you can access this key (and any subkeys), then it's likely the following fix will not resolve the problem.
    I then done further diagnosis, by using Process Monitor to try and install Flash Player, and I got the following:
    http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems.gif
    This shows all the access denied errors the Flash Player install was experiencing when trying to write to the registry key.  This confirmed that this was the problem.  I only stress this because several people said it was unwise to tinker with the registry.  Though this is common advice, this is the only known fix for this precise problem at present, since you need to manually adjust the permissions yourself.  I don't know who is at fault here - Microsoft or Adobe - but let's just get Flash fixed...
    The solution:
    Firstly, you may want to backup your registry, or the exact key.  I didn't do this so I've provided no instructions on how to, but it is recommended for the paranoid.  Also make sure as much software is closed down as possible - browsers, IM software, any junk in your system tray. As way of example, I happened to have "BBC iPlayer" installed and running in the background which uses Adobe AIR and Flash Player, so I exited that too.
    1) Open regedit (start - run - type "regedit.exe").  You may need to right click on it and select "Run As Administrator", but I didn't as my account was already administrator.
    2) Navigate to the key. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
    Click on it to confirm that you cannot access it (you will get an error) - if their are no problems - this probably isn't the cause of your issues.
    3) Right click on it and click Permissions, and ignore any message that may pop up.
    4) Under "Group or Usernames" click "Add".  Type your account name name, or "Administrators" in the box, then "Check Names" to format it correctly, then Ok.
    5) Now on the next screen click the checkbox to enable Full Control (this will also automatically enable "Read" permission too).
    6) Click Advanced, then the "Owner" tab at the top.  You will see that their is no "Current Owner".  This is what we will now fix.
    7) Click on your name to change the owner to (I went for Administrators).  Also enable the checkbox entitled "Replace Owner on subcontainers and objects".  Then click Ok.  You will get an error message, which you can try clicking Retry to, but hit Cancel - this is not a problem.
    8) Click Ok a couple of times and this part of your registry is now fixed.
    9) Now it's a simple case of running the manual Flash uninstall program, then finally the manual Flash installer (for Active X - not the Firefox/Chrome plugin versions).  To my surprise, after a couple of days looking into this - I finally had a solution and Flash in IE once more.  If you are using Firefox too you may find Flash is no longer installed their (the uninstaller removed it).  In this case just install via the Adobe site or try to watch a video on You Tube and you will be prompted or linked to the install.
    Hope this provides a good round up of the possible solutions to this problem.  Hopefully Microsoft or Adobe can find out what causes this issue in the first place so we don't have to go down this route for much longer.  Chrome's implementation of Flash shows how effortlessly things can work!

    They will stay on the screen.  However, Process Monitor is only intended for advanced users.  It is recommended that users try to navigate to the troublesome registry key using regedit, and see if they can access it or not without an error.  This is far easier than trying to use Process Monitor, which is very complicated.
    I used Process Monitor to confirm that it was just that key which was causing the problem, and not others.  Process Monitor is not to be confused with the new Resource Monitor which is accessible via Task Manager in Windows 7 (and possibly Vista).  If you must experiment (and Process Monitor is very useful for diagnosing many deep-level problems if you know what you're looking for) Process Monitor can be downloaded from here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
    It replaces the older Sysinternals "FileMon" and "RegMon".  For those interested in the technical side, I had to setup a number of filters to be able to get the results display as in the screenshot.  First of all to just show Registry events.  Then to just show events from the manual Flash activeX installer executable.  The I added a filter to show only non-successfull results.  And finally, for the purposes of the screenshot, added a filter to just show those with "Access Denied", since other non-critical errors are also picked up due to missing keys because installation has not yet been fully completed I guess.   When experimenting, most of these filters were applied using the "is not" boolean logic, which will make sense if you experiment with the program.
    Without adding any filters, it picks up so many events (hundreds per second) that it's otherwise unusable.  e.g. 40,000 events within the first few seconds of opening the program. For this reason, I recommend simply using Regedit to diagnose the problem with the particular Flash registry key.

  • ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered - no solutions work

    I am getting the "ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered" when I try to install 11 on IE9 (Windows 7 64-bit).  I have tried everything that has been suggested in other posts and forums to no avail.  This is driving me crazy and hindering me from work.  Can someone please help?  Thank you!

    I just had this issue and have been searching and searching for a way to fix this issue. I have a Windows 7 64 bit system and this was happening with IE 9. But I have found the solution.
    Go to http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/494/cpsid_49419.html and follow these instructions. This worked for my system and I was able top install the newest flash with no problems.
    Make sure you are logged into a Windows Administrator account. If you are not, you will not be able to use SubInACL.
    Download SubInACL from the Microsoft Download Center.
    Follow the installation instructions. Make sure you install SubInACL (subinacl.exe) to the directory C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools.
    Download the reset_fp10.zip file.
    Open the fp10.zip file and extract the reset_fp10.cmd file to the directory C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\.
    Both this file and SubInACL (subinacl.exe) must be in this directory.
    Double-click reset_fp10.cmd. A command window will open, and SubInACL will run.
    Do not use the machine while SubInACL is running.
    After SubInACL finishes, you will see a prompt "Press any key to continue".
    Install Flash Player from the Flash Player download page.
    To confirm that your installation succeeded, visit the About Flash Player page. At the top of the screen, you should see a message that reads "Adobe Flash Player Successfully Installed."

  • The activex control for flash player could not be registered.  Please help!

    Can't install flash player.  Keep getting activex control for flash player could not be registered.  I have tried all of the solutions provided on this forum.  Running windows 7 32-bit running IE8.
    Please help.

    Hi, Did you use the Administrator Account? If you received that message it is usually a Permissions Issue.
    We have had several reports this past week of a Virus(AntiVirus8 or AV8) that can set a Kill-bit on the very Registry Key that FP uses for that ActiveX Control.
    You may want to look and see if this is perhaps the problem. This needs to be ruled out first before we proceed, because if that key has the Kill-bit, then it wouldn't matter what you do.

  • The activex controls for flash player could not be registered

    the activex controls for flash player could not be registered
    i have had this problem for a while and cannot seem to get around it please post anyreliable suggestions

    Just to add some additional misery to this thread. I have this exact same issue. Windows 7.
    The issue started several weeks ago, when a flash update failed to install. Everything seemed fine other than every reboot, this flash update would fail (and in fact would "hang"), but flash itself continued to work.
    Yesterday, it stopped completely. It said flash wasn't installed.  I've tried:
    1. Completely uninstalling flash (it is not in Add/remove programs) but using the techniques and videos offered by Adobe to remove the files, using their uninstaller, etc.
    2. Perform the fix as outlined in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/987370 which including installing SubACL, the batch file, etc.  The batch file ran successfully, but did not solve the problem.
    3. I've tried Windows System restore, but it doesn't seem to go back far enough.
    4. I've tried the fixit identifed above in this thread and while it solves certain problems, still doesn't solve my issue.
    5. I've tried installing using the stand alone EXE and MSI from Adobe.
    6. I've tried the 11.9 beta.
    None of these have worked and all result in the "failed to register" error.  I'm currently using the flash built into Google Chrome as I needed to have some working flash component.
    Anyone else have any ideas whatsoever short of a Windows reinstallation?

    The ActiveXViewer is not downloadable from our SAP site. The file is hosted on your web server, and also installed on the system where you have Crystal Reports XI installed.
    Look here, C:Program FilesBusiness ObjectsCommon3.0crystalreportviewers11ActiveXControls for ActiveXViewer.cab. Extract the contents and right click crviewer.inf, then select Install.

  • Register failk error when invoking ActiveX control for a JavaBean from VB6

    J2RE v1.4.2_09
    Visual Basic 6.0 SP5/Visual C++ 6.0 SP5
    Windows 2000 SP4
    We have our existing production applications written using VB6 and VC++6. We are in the process of moving them incrementally to J2EE. Before everything is totally re-written in J2EE, we need to do something for interoperability between existing VB6/VC++6 and J2EE. ActiveX Bridge seems to be the solution we need, if only it works.
    Problem that I am facing....
    Register failk error when I try to insert a java bean activex control on a VB6.0 or VC++6.0 form or create an instance of the activex "Person.Bean.1" using CreateObject function, it throws the following error. I am able to create an instance of Person Bean ActiveX Control using ActiveX Control Test Container that comes with Visual Studio 6.0 and invoke the methods in the bean successfully though which means that the ActiveX control is registered properly and working.
    Error Message Box Title: asdas
    Error Message: register failk
    And then another error message pops up.
    Error Message Box Title: Java(TM) Plug-in Fatal Error
    Error Message: Cannot load class sun/plugin/JavaRunTime
    The Bridge was installed at <D:\PROGRA~1\Java\J2RE14~2.2_0> but the class is not there. Modify the registry key to reflect the new bridge location. The key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in or Change your CLASSPATH to include the new directory.
    I have this sample java bean class.
    a) Person.java
    import java.io.*;
    public class Person implements Serializable{
    private String fName,lName;
    public Person(){
    fName = new String();
    lName = new String();
    public void setFirstName(String firstName){
    fName = firstName;
    public void setLastName(String lastName){
    lName = lastName;
    public String getName(){
    return fName+" "+lName;
    b) person_manifest
    Name: Person.class
    Java-Bean: True
    Steps followed:
    call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin\vcvars32.bat"
    set path=D:\j2sdk1.4.2_09\bin;%path%
    javac Person.java
    jar -cvfm Person.jar person_manifest Person.class
    mkdir "d:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_09\axbridge\bin"
    D:\j2sdk1.4.2_09\bin\packager -out "d:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_09\axbridge\bin" -reg Person.jar Person
    Person.dll file created under d:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_09\axbridge\bin and Person.jar copied under d:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_09\axbridge\lib.
    I am able to create an instance of this Person Bean ActiveX Control using ActiveX Control Test Container that comes with Visual Studio 6.0 and invoke the methods in the bean successfully. But, when I try to insert the activex control on a VB6 or VC++6 form or create an instance of "Person.Bean.1" using CreateObject function, it throws the above mentioned errors.
    I checked the registry and it shows J2RE1.4.2_09 version properly under that key and the Person.dll file exists under d:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_09\axbridge\bin. I also explicitly added the plugin.jar, person.jar to the classpath. Still it gives the error.
    Any ideas? Any fix or workaround for this problem? Thanks.

    Sometimes solutions are simpler than expose the problem.
    Did you add the dll to the project references?
    Sometimes also it is usefull to use the regsvr32 program to register the DLL.

  • Does Measurment Studio Standerd edition contains graph and chart ActiveX controls for VB6

    A Very Simple quistion:
    Does Measurment Studio Standerd edition contains graph and chart ActiveX controls for VB6?

    Shady -
    Measurement Studio 7.0 Standard Edition provides support for Visual C++ 2003, Visual Basic .NET 2003, and Visual C# 2003. It just so happens that the Visual C++ support includes ActiveX controls, which are usable in VB6. The CWGraph ActiveX control provides both graphing and charting functionality.
    However, full Visual Basic 6 support, including examples and documentation is not in the Standard edition. It is in the Professional and Enterprise Editions.
    The best thing to do would be for us to get in direct contact with each other to make sure that we get you exactly the (minimum) package you need. If your profile includes your email address, we can contact you. Otherwise, you'll need to go through ni.com/support and refer to t

  • Acrobat 7.0 ActiveX Object example code in Lookout

    Help folks!
    I'm trying to set up the Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Browser Document ActiveX Object under Lookout 6.0 but it doesn't work. My goal is to display a pdf document by lookout.
    What should I set by Property Browser...?
    What should I set by Property Pages...?
    What should I set by Value Property:?
    What means the term "Property" in this kind of objects?
    Is there an example code I can get?
    Any suggestion will be appreciated.
    Thanx.

    I don't know of a FREE ActiveX control for MS Word.  However, if you have MS Word installed on the same computer, you can use MS Internet Explorer ActiveX Control to view Word documents. 
    But before we do that, we have to make sure that MS Word is set to open documents in the "same window."  This basically opens a DOC file in Internet Explorer itself rather than launching a new MS Word window and then opening the DOC file in it.  To set this (if it isn't already):
    1. Launch Windows Explorer. 
    2. From the Tools menu, select "Folder Options"
    3. Click the "File Types" tab. 
    4. From the listing of "Registered File Types," select "Microsoft Word Document," (you can get to it fast by typing "DOC"); click Advanced. 
    5. Click the "Browse in same window" check box -- this toggles whether a Word document is launched outside of Internet Explorer. 
    6. Click OK to close the dialog boxes. 
    NOTE:  if the DOC still opens in a new MS Word window (and not IE), go back and toggle the check-box. 
    In Lookout, use the Lookout Webbrowser control (which is nothing but MS IE Control).  Specify the file path to the DOC file as the URL.  I am attaching a process file which does this using a TextEntry object. 
    Hope this helps.

  • Could not write to file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\ActiveX\AcroPDF.NOR. ?

    Hi, I get this message (loosely translated from Swedish):
    "Could not write to file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\ActiveX\AcroPDF.NOR.
    Confirm that you have access to this file"
    when I try to install Acrobat standard 7.0, and after several "retry" I cannot finish the installation.
    Does anyone know why?
    Thank you,

    Appears that you are on a Win7, 64-bit machine. AA 7 has an issue with activation since the server no longer exists for AA 7. There is a separate install at Adobe to address this issue that might solve the problem temporarily (Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3). Even if you get AA 7 installed on Win7, you will have to do workarounds to make it work. Both the print driver (Adobe PDF) and AcroTray.exe fail on Win7 and they require workarounds to be able to even use AA 7. It is strongly recommended that you get AA XI at this point.

  • I can't install the update 9.5.2 for Acrobat Pro for Mac.

    I am using Mac OS 10.7.4.  I currently have Acrobat Pro 9.5.1 on my system.  I've been able to download the 9.5.2 upgrade successfully via the "'check for updates" link in the application and from also from the Adobe website.
    The installer cannot install the update.  The process begins but then I get a message that components have been disabled.  The message refers me to Acrobat website for help to reingage components. Unfortunately, I was not able to find any such help through their not so user friendly website.
    The alternative suggestion from the message was to uninstall the application, then reinstall it.  I tried using the uninstaller that was in my Acrobat Pro folder, but when I opened the uninstaller, I got a message saying the installer was not for this application.
    I have an installation disk to reinstall the program and I have no problem manually uninstalling the Acrobat Pro from the system, but I don't know what needs to be removed from where.
    Anyone have any suggestions on what to try next? 
    I'm beginning to feel like this upgrade is just a gimmick to encourage people to upgrade to Acrobat Pro X.

    I was getting the same error: "Insufficient data for image" and the document wouldn't open. But Foxit and Chrome read the files directly, with no problems.
    On a Mac, the 9.5.2 upgrade works fine under Acrobat Pro 9!!
    Do any of you run Kaspersky antivirus? When I ran the root kit scanner - is doesn't like some of the Adobe System files and will quarantine them – this only happened in July: This is when it quarantined some files that were authored by Adobe. This is when the updates to Adobe seemed to have stopped working properly?
    I submitted the “quarantined” files to Kaspersky and they came back and said that the Adobe files allowed “trojan” like backdoor access to my PC  - To get adobe working again I allowed them back into my system and took them out of Quarantine. The 9.5.2 update worked fine after this.
    I thought it was a fault with Kaspersky 2011 until I updated to 2013 (last week) and the Root Kit scanner completely removed the registration for Adobe Acro 9....No opportunity to deactivate...program wouldn’t run with error messages about the registration of Acrobat Pro 9. I reinstalled the programme; it will run but cannot be upgraded from the DVD rom version
    Now I’m struggling to get my Adobe product serial number reactivated. The Indian call centre tell me the retail serial number is invalid and not an Adobe serial at all, then I get told about 30 mins later in the same call the serial number is actually registered to someone else - they're just oxygen thieves...
    The botom line was, that unless you bought from Adobe online, and they can track your purchase, you're on your own for support...
    Ironically, when I first installed Acrobat 9 Pro back in 2010, the software installed fine, activated and I got a nice Welcome email message from Adobe, free downloads too - not much use though - perhaps this is one of those keep the product sales up schemes...you've had your two years time to buy an upgrade!.
    I think these issues are linked up with the extreme piracy control that Adobe have implemented in their products - it's gone too far...
