Failure of ACROBAT DLL

About a week ago, I was trying to print my Taxes using the PDF function of my adoby reader. I received the following message: ACROBAT failed to load core DLL. I have tried to reload ADOBY READER, load a new ACROBAT program & even attempted to load ACROBAT PRO. The first two said they loaded correctly but no joy, & the PRO wont let me validate the program. How do I get my PDF program fixede in order to complete my taxes & print any needed documents.

When the core library does not work anymore, Acrobat / Reader can no longer run because the components it depends on do not load.

APPCRASH in Acrobat.dll after adding annots with AFExecuteThisScript()

I have a C# app that displays PDFs in a WebBrowser control.   I also have a plug-in that loads annotations into the PDF (i.e. doc.addAnnot(<propertys>)) via calls to AFExecuteThisScript(). It works; the annots are loaded successfully. However, whenever I do this, I get an APPCRASH after the app has terminated. Since it happens after the app exits, it's out of the debugger's scope.
Since this problem happens only after my plug-in adds annots to the PDF, I'm thinking that something Javascript-related is not being released before the app exits. I've tried doc.dirty = false after adding each annot, and also docClose() in my plug-in's AVDocWillClose callback, but it doesn't do any good.
This is NOT caused by AFExecuteThisScript() per se. In other words, I can do AFExecuteThisScript with or without a return value and there's no APPCRASH. It only seems to happen when I modify the PDF (i.e. add annots) via AFExecuteThisScript().
This is not a showstopper for me but merely an irritant, because it always happens when the application terminates. Incidentally, it did not seem to happen in Acrobat 8.
Here is the problem signature that is produced in VS 2005 after the app terminates.
Problem signature:

I modified my plug-in to enable it when I open a PDF from the file system with Acrobat.exe, and then create a single annot with AFExecuteThisScript().
Everything works fine, the annot is created, and there is no APPCRASH when I quit Acrobat.
I just needed to modify my AVDocDidOpen and AVIdle callbacks to make this work (to allow me to work with PDFs opened in Acrobat.exe from the file system), so everything else about the plug-in (initialization through cleanup) is the same.
One of the last lines of output was:
     'Acrobat.exe': Unloaded 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.dll'
It seems to me that the problem is related to the WebBrowser control, which apparently does not release Acrobat.dll when it destructs. I've tried manually releasing Acrobat.dll in my app code after Application.Run(theForm); returns, i.e.
     IntPtr handle = GetModuleHandle("Acrobat.dll");
     if (!handle.ToString().Equals("0"))
          FreeLibrary(handle);
but that causes the app to crash on FreeLibrary().
I wonder if it would make any difference if I were to manually load Acrobat.dll in my code, rather than waiting for the WebBrowser control to do it when it opens the PDF. I noticed that one of the first output lines from Acrobat.exe (after the windows libraries are loaded) is
ADOBE_READLOGGER_CMD:COMMENT:BeforeOROADOBE_READLOGGER_CMD:COMMENT:AfterORO'Acrobat.exe': Loaded 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.dll', No symbols loaded.
Incidentally, I'm unable to debug my plugin when I run my app in VS 2005. There's no process that I can attach my plug-in debugger to, probably because Acrobat 9 uses in-process DLLs to render PDFs in browsers.

Delay unloading Acrobat dlls when using Acrobat 9

In our Java desktop application, we use Acrobat 9 to display a pdf file.
This pdf is opened in another window. When the window is closed the acrobat dlls loaded are expected to close by itself so that the corresponding javaw process can close.
The javaw process is not closing since the acrobat dlls are NOT closed automatically. It was found the dlls are unloaded after around 30 second.
When tried with Acrobat 8 it worked perfectly.
Has anyone come across the dll unload issue with Acrobat 9?
Can you suggest a solution?

Wrap the Adobe functionality in an executable.
Manage that from your main java app via Runtime.exec/ProcessBuilder.
Provide a communication interface so the two can interact.
Your main app can exit at any time. The secondary app will exit after the delay without being visible to the users.

Creating Certificate using Acrobat dll in C# program

Hello,
I need to create a certificate, basically .pfx file in C#. I used makecert tool to create the certificate first and then export it into .pfx file through command line. My attempt was successful. Then I used the .pfx file to encrypt a pdf using iTextSharp. The pdf is encrypted successfuly but when i try to open the pdf, Acrobat/Reader shows a message "You do not have access rights to this encrypted document". I intalled the .pfx file but the problem still remains.
Can anyone please guide me what am I doing wrong. I used the following code from command prompt to create a certificate and then export the certificate to a pxf file
Create certificate - makecert -r -pe -n "CN=My CA" -ss CA -sr CurrentUser -a sha1 -sky signature -sv MyCA.pvk MyCA.cer
Export to pfx - pvk2pfx -pvk MyCA.pvk -spc MyCA.cer -pfx MySPC.pfx -po <password>
Is it possible to create a pfx file using acrobat dll in C#??
Please help me, its urgent.
Thanks in advance!

No, there are no APIs for working with certificates from C#.

Could anyone please let me know how to set a ICC profile with Acrobat dlls using Csharp or VB

Could anyone please let me know how to set a ICC profile with Acrobat dlls using Csharp or VB

Cant we even use the dlls in an application?
In order to automate Acrobat, you need to have Acrobat installed. There is
nothing you can do with just the DLLs. As was already stated, Acrobat is
not licensed for use on a server, but regardless of that, it's also
not technically suitable for server use. You need to find a solution
outside of Acrobat to solve your problem.
It also seems that you don't have a good understanding of what is going in
inside a PDF file. PDF is a very complex file format, and based on
your questions
and followup questions, you need to spend a considerable amount of time
getting familiar with the PDF file format to understand how color works in
the PDF context. Reader the PDF spec, while paying special attention to the
section about color. You will find out that if you want to convert the
color space of a "PDF file", you actually need to convert the color space
associated with every single object in your PDF file. That is fairly simple
for vector graphic and text, but when it comes to images, you may have to
convert the image data. Once you have a good understanding of what it is
you need to do within the PDF file, then you can start looking for tools
that allow you to do that. Again, Acrobat and therefore the Acrobat SDK is
not suitable for this task. If you want to stay with Adobe products take a
serious look at the PDF Library, which his licensed through Datalogics (
http://www.datalogics.com/products/pdf/pdflibrary/). As you've mentioned,
there are other, non-Adobe PDF libraries that you can also use, but this is
the Acrobat SDK forum, so I won't discuss any of those 3rd party solutions.
You are wasting your time while looking for a simple solution that does not
exist.

Faulting module acrobat.dll

Lame day!
I haven't posted here in over a year. I guess that's good. Today we converted my machine here at work from our old NT 4 domain to the new Active Directory server. Then I spent my afternoon repairing all the stuff related to CS3 that were somehow bombed in the switch -- stuff like a blank XML configuration file or a palette in Photoshop. I got everything except one problem: Acrobat just won't start. I get a classic Windows "program encountered error" message immediately and that's all. When I take a look at the error log, I see:
Faulting application acrobat.exe, version 8.1.0.137, faulting module acrobat.dll, version 8.1.0.137, fault address 0x00117e1c.
I've tried repairing and reinstalling, but the problem persists. I tried to install Reader and had the same results (with a slightly modified error log).
Distiller still works. I can make PDFs using the Office plug-in. I just can't look at them after that. Also, sometimes I need to do more than just turn a Word document into a PDF.
So, if anyone can provide me with a clue, I'd love it. Here are all the relevant details of my machine:
- Windows XP Pro
- CS3 Web Premium
- 1GB RAM
- Intel Core 2 Duo at 2.13 GHz
Thanks, folks!

Maybe the .dll itself has been corrupted. When I try to reinstall from the DVD, I can't select Acrobat. It says it's already installed. Is there a way just to get the .dll? I haven't been able to look at a PDF on my machine since this started. I can make them, but then I have to use my development machine in another room to see them. Remote Desktop is nice, but it gets lame quickly.

Using Acrobat.dll

You can't use parts of Adobe Acrobat.

Working with acrobat.dll

Hello all,
I am completely new to this forum, and I hope it's a right place to ask what I am going to ask. I am trying to develop application, that could take some pdf document, and to add field on certain page at certain coordinates. There will be a further use of this field, but it is not of inetrest so far. To achieve this, I am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0.5 SDK installed on my machine. I created a .Net project and added Acrobat.dll as a project reference. To be able to get to document object, I instantiate object of class AcroAVDocClass, and here the problem starts. Application fails to run, with such an error:
Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {72498821-3203-101B-B02E-04021C009402} failed due to the following error: 80040154.
After googling a lot, I know that it is a problem related to registering the component. Indeed, I cannot find this dll in the list of registered COM components in "Add reference" window of my MS Visual Studio 2003, and it is not on the list of .NET components as well. I tried to register the dll by means of regsvr32 - it failed as well, saying:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat 7.0.5 SDK\InterAppCommunicationSupport\PIAs\Acrobat.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. The file cannot be registered.
Does anyone have any idea what I supposed to do? I'll very appreciate any hint.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you a lot, indeed, instalation of Acrobat solved the problem of registering dll. Now I want to go further and to add field to the pdf document. We have here some javascript code, that deals with this, and it works fine.
for (var p =0;p <this.numPages;p++)
var aRect = this.getPageBox({nPage:p});
aRect[0] =582.711;
aRect[1] =353.114;
aRect[2] =594.439;
aRect[3] =202.498;
var f =this.addField("CaseIDBarcode","text",p,aRect );
f.delay =true;
f.textSize =26;
f.delay =false;
f.fontSubset = subset.Roman;
f.MEOptions = 32768;
f.textFont = "B3of9Barcode";
f.rotation = 90;
Now we want the .Net application to do the same thing. I know that it is possible by means of JSObject (to run javascript commands from outer .net application). Is it possible at all? Where can I find samples of code that can do it (prefferably, in C#)
Thanks again!

AMT Subsystem Failure with Acrobat Reader 10.1.3

I'm getting AMT Subsystem Failure when trying to open .jpg files in Acrobat Reader. Message says Error: 1. Never had this problem before today (16/4/12). Can't find a solution anywhere. My OS is Windows 7 64.Can anyone help?

My mistake. It was PSE 8 that was causing the problem. Can view .jpg's in other viewers (PSE 8 had been default viewer). Have now installed a trial version of PSE 10 and everything fine.

Samsung SCX-4521F scanner failure into Acrobat 9.1.3

I have the above mentioned all-in-one, latest scan drivers loaded from Samsung. Windows XP SP3 fully up to date. Acrobat recognizes the WIA driver (must invoke Custom Scan since does not allow presets), allows option changes, but when Scan button is pushed it fails with msg "Error while interacting with the scanner: the selected scanner was not found". The msg doesn't make much sense, since Acrobat has already interacted with the scanner, but there it is.
I'm an experienced pc IT type, have gone thru the usual reload drivers, etc., with no luck. All other applications can scan directly from the WIA Twain32 driver, including Adobe Photoshop CS4, but not Acrobat. I have searched knowledge base, Googled, etc., no info.
Richard Southworth

Bill, I believe you need to read my other posts, Adobe Acrobat from the built-in administrator account is the only app that won't scan successfully. And in XP there are now two ways to scan, Twain and WIA (Windows Imaging Acquisition), both fail.
So here's the final workaround, in case anybody else has this issue and needs a "fix". I have two accounts on my Windows XP SP3 system, the built-in Administrator account (my normal working logon) and a second user account, call it X, that also has administrative privileges (belongs to the administrators group). I have a shortcut on my desktop in the Administrator account for Acrobat - I right click on it and choose Run as from the pop-up menu. I then select the X account and enter its password, and Acrobat appears. Scan to pdf now works properly for both of my scanners; when finished I have to be careful where I save the pdf, since the Desktop and My Documents are for the X user and don't show up automatically since I'm logged into the system as Administrator. Not a big deal, easy enough to put the final pdf somewhere convenient to locate.
So there you have it, Adobe for some obscure reason has inhibited scan to pdf while in the built-in Administrator account, at least in my system and for two different scanner brands (Epson and Samsung). I don't believe it is a permissions issue; I have examined all involved files and registry entries for such and have found no obvious problems. I have uninstalled and installed both Acrobat and the scanner driver for all combinations of the two users, again with always the same result.
