How to call Reader when both Acrobat and Reader are installed?

In my machine, I have both Acrobat 7.0 Standard and Acrobat Reader 8 installed.
I want to call Reader 8 in my program. But everytime it opens Acrobat 7.0. I use the following code,
Dim acroApp As Acrobat.CAcroApp
acroApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
acroApp.MenuItemExecute("About")
I am new to writing PDF programs. Can anyone tell me how to call Reader 8 by program? (I'm using VB.Net.)

You can use this code with Adobe Acrobat, not Adobe Reader.
Thank you for your reply. Does the library automatically choose application to call? or the library work under Acrobat only?
I tried to run the samples of IAC in Acrobat SDK, but all of them called Adobe Acrobat.
I'm really confused. Could you show me a way to call Reader?

  • How to open Reader in firefox tab when both acrobat and reader are installed.

    I would like to open pdf files in firefox using Adobe Acrobat Reader.
    I have both Acrobat Pro or whatever its called and Acrobat Reader installed.
    Presently going to firefox's tools, options, then selecting the file types option I cannot select any plugin to open my pdf's besides what's labeled as "adobe acrobat" but which executes an in-tab instance of Adobe Acrobat Pro, despite the ambiguous language on the plugin which I suspect stems from Adobe's evolving and confusing conventions regarding just what Adobe Reader, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and Adobe Acrobat Pro really is.
    Anyways, how to make pdfs open in-tab instances of Adobe Acrobat Reader while I have both the Reader and the Pro installed?
    Is there a sepperate plugin I need or something? Any way to get the "adobe acrobat plugin" open acrobat reader and not acrobat pro?
    Any help is very Appreciated
    I can not find this point explained in any of the documentation adobe supplies

  • Active ODP when both 9 and 10g are installed...

    I have both ODP 9i and ODP 10g (along with the Oracle 10g client) installed on my workstation. How does one set up one or the other to be the 'active' ODP client? For instance, I have an application that I developed under ODP 9i... because I developed this under ODP 9, I want it to run under ODP 9 on my or anyone else's workstation. However, when I view it in the Visual Studio 2003 IDE, it shows ODP 10 as the 'active' client. Even when I run it, I find it is using ODP 10 (I know this because I have a Help...About screen in my runtime that displays the loaded assemblies) Even if I install it on a plain workstation (i.e. no Visual Studio 2003) with both 9i and 10g installed, and even though it was fully compiled using 9i, it still shows up as using the 10g ODP client. I don't want that at this time - if I compile it under 9i I want it to use Oracle 9i... Otherwise, what is the sense of having both clients on the machine?
    So.... bottom line... is there a way to set one of the ODP clients to be 'active' even though both clients are installed?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    By default, ODP installs publisher policy files to redirect to the latest version of ODP, which would make an app compiled with 92x odp use the 10x odp instead. If you dont want that to happen, delete the oracle.dataaccess publisher policy files from the GAC, but then you'll get no redirection at all. IE, you'll have to have the exact version the app was compiled with on that box to run the app.
    Or, as msolnit pointed you to above, there's an article on the MS site that explains more about it, and other ways to prevent it on a per-application basis (see the Bypassing Publisher Policy section of that article)
    Cheers, hope it helps.

  • HT4628 how to reinstall Mountain Lion if ethernet and wifi are both dead

    For unknown reason my MBP network connection keep dropping on both Ethernet and WIFI after i came back from overseas. Been trying to recreate the network setting and retry, it works for a few seconds then went dead. Thinking of reinstalling OSX but, not sure how to perform it since both ethernet and wifi are both sort of dead.
    Any advise will be appreciated.

    Head to your System Preferences > Network > Advanced and delete all the network connections.
    Next head to your System Preferences > Data and Time and make sure it's correct and being updated with Apple's time server for your location.
    Reboot and check the data and time is correct (PRAM reset is in order if it's not)
    Connect via wifi and save the password in your Keychain when it asks.

  • On my ipad mini, when I delete an email from the inbox (and it goes into Trash), it immediately deletes that email from the server (ATT/Yahoo).  I've called support for both ATT and Apple and can't find a way to have the emails remain on the server.

    On my iPad Mini, when I delete an email from the inbox (and it goes into Trash), it immediately deletes that email from the server (ATT/Yahoo).  I've called support for both ATT and Apple and can't find a way to have the emails remain on the server. 
    My husband and I share an email address and if he misses a day checking email on his notebook, he doesn't receive the items that I have sent to Trash on my iPad Mini.
    Appreciate suggestions.
    [The curious thing is, if I "move" the deleted emails from Trash on my iPad Mini into the Inbox, I can go to my notebook, open my online email and they are back in my ATT/Yahoo Inbox.]

    Is your Yahoo account set up as POP3 or IMAP?

  • Unread Emails in Outlook 2010 Clients shows both UNREAD AND READ emails when connected to Exchange 2013 Server SP1

    We recently upgraded to Exchange 2013 SP1 with a client user-base of Office 2010 Professional Plus / Outlook 2010 SP3.
    All Unread Email favorites folders show both Unread and Read emails, just like the inbox. Removal of the folder and recreating yields the same results, as does creating a custom folder. However, in Outlook 2013 there is no problem. 
    Is there a patch or hot fix for this issue? Or does anyone know how to fix this issue so that the UNREAD EMAILS SHOW UP IN THE UNREAD FOLDER AND NOT INCLUDE THE READ EMAILS? 
    Thank you!

  • How to call GUI/Dialog in Acrobat sdk Plugin

    How to call GUI/Dialog in Acrobat sdk Plugin using VC++ here is my code
    ACCB1 void ACCB2 MyPluginCommand(void *clientData)
      HMODULE hAppInst = GetModuleHandle(NULL);
      DialogBox(hAppInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_DIALOG1), NULL, NULL);
      HWND hWnd = ::CreateDialog(hAppInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_DIALOG1), NULL, DlgProc);
      ::ShowWindow(hWnd, SW_SHOW);

    You can, with care, use Windows API calls in a plug-in. But you have to understand the process of loading resources. In particular, the calls you use try to load resources that belong to the main executable, which is Acrobat.exe. Plug-ins have their own instance handle, which is conveniently stored in gHINSTANCE. 
    In certain cases, especially modeless dialogs, there may be extra calls to make things work properly.
    You do need to know how to use the Windows API, and your sample lines seem confused, unless you intended to first display a modal dialog then open the same dialog as modeless. That's something for another forum,

    Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.
    Your account shows that you have an Unlimited World Subscription which includes calls to private landlines in Finland. Your Subscription does not include calls to corporate landlines or to cellphones in Finland. To call corporate landlines you need to Buy Skype credit and to call cellphones either credit or a specific Skype subscription

  • Acrobat and Reader Version Issues

    Hi,
    I've created a PDF porffolio made up of several PDFs. When I view the PDF portfolio at the "top level" (where you see names of the individual PDFs on top of a window that looks like it should show the first page of the PDF) all it says in the window is "For the best experience, open this PDF porffolio in Acrobat X or Adobe Reader X, or later. However, I have Acrobat XI and am viewing it in Acrobat XI, so why am I having this issue?
    I can at least open the PDF portfolio and all the PDFs inside. My girlfriend gets the same window when I try sending it to her and can't open the PDF portfolio at all andl she has Acrobat 11.0.3. Why is this happening to her?
    Attached is a screenshot of my issue.
    Thanks.

    Yes, I guess I did. So I guess that's the issue. Thanks!
    Since you seem to know Acrobat and Reader pretty well, I have two other issues I'm dealing with:
    1.) I'd like to create a PDF portfolio of my graphic design work. In the past I've created a PDF portfolio and added other PDFs or jpegs into them with difference pieces of work. However, is it possible to create a portfolio where a multi-page PDF (within the larger portfolio) can be viewed in it's entirety (at the top level of the portfolio) without having to open the file? The idea would be that you would see one page of the portfolio with a piece of work, scroll to the right and see another, then when you get to the multi-page PDF if you kept scrolling right it would just take you through that entire PDF instead of having to open the file. Basically, what I'm trying to avoid is having to create jpegs of individual spreads of an InDesign file so they can be viewed seamlessly in a PDF porfolio instead of being able to drop in a multipage PDF. Let me know if you need clarification on this.
    2.) Finally, when I've tried to re-order files within PDFs, I've occassionally had success renaming the files (ie 1.jpg , 2.jpg, 3.jpg, 4.pdf, etc) in the "display name" column under the Files tab. I once had success doing an "Initial Sort" for display name but other times it hasn't worked. Is there anyway to make re-order work consistently?
    Thanks!

  • Acrobat and Reader XI freeze 3 secs after opening (force close needed). Win 8.1. Restart usually removes problem, sometimes repair.

    Please help.
    Running Adobe Acrobat and reader XI ( latest versions). PC is Lenovo ThinkPad 440 S. Don't think I've got any plug-ins that are affecting this, but Dragon NaturallySpeaking is installed on PC, and I know this sometimes causes problems with some programs.
    I can uninstall and reinstall either of the programs, and sometimes after a day or a week the problem returns. Restarting the computer will usually cause it to disappear for awhile and then it returns. The freeze is always the same, about three seconds after opening a document, it freezes and I have to close the program and restart the computer if I want the program to work again. I've tried switching off the security settings as suggested a number of websites, and this sometimes seems to help, but the problem nevertheless returns. I've got Acrobat on trial, and would like to buy, but I'm not going to do so and as this problem can be solved.
    I've tried installing the programs multiple times, both clean install and repair and this doesn't stop the problem from happening, and it's happened over the two latest updates to the programme with no success. Out of interest, I've also noticed it doesn't always save my preferences between opening the program (e.g. page view preferences).
    Many thanks for any input,
    Jason Anderson

    Hi Jason,
    I would recommend you to do a selected startup and then enable the programs one by one to isolate which program might be causing this.
    Please refer the KB: Restart Windows in a modified mode | Windows 7, Vista for selective startup of Windows.

    I have a MBP retina and I am having problem when my bluetooth and wifi are both active. My wifi is totally unusable when I am connected to via bluetooth speaker.

    Chances are you mis-typed a character in the Wifi password and the devices saved that information.  Now whenever you try to connect the device refers to the wrong password and the Jetpack does not accept your connection.  Tell your devices to forget the wireless connection and start over.
    Once you enter the proper WiFi credentials the Jetpack will allow you to connect.

  • How can I do when my acrobat professional 6.01 is not compatible with WIN7 system?

    how can I do when my acrobat professional 6.01 is not compatible with WIN7 system?

    If you are lokking for loopholes or workarounds - they don't exist. Your only option is to buy a new license of Acrobat XI. Of course, depending on what functionality you need, there are enough alternative, cheaper tools to create and edit PDFs or even free tools. Most of them won't deal with forms or otehr advanced features, though, but as long as you only want to convert your Word files to PDFs, the'll do the trick and you don't need Acrobat.
