IWebBrowser2.Type="Adobe PDF Reader". What is the Document?

Hi,
I'm displaying a PDF within the ActiveX IWebBrowser2 container and looking for a way to access (parse) the text. When displaying Excel files, Type is "Excel" and Document is a Workbook reference. When displaying PDFs, Type="Adobe PDF Reader", but what is the Document? I've come across threads that suggest it might be of type IAcroAXDocShim or CAcroPDDoc, but when trying to use their methods receive "class not registered". Re: "class not registered", is it necessary to install Adobe Acrobat? Why? Reader is installed. Seems to me there ought to be a way to access the text with the tools at hand, no?
Any help is appreciated!

Adobe don't offer such a facility in their controls, not even with Acrobat. If you want to find out more about the very rich programming interface to Acrobat, and the tiny programming interface to the free Adobe Reader, you should download and install the Acrobat SDK - many thousands of pages of documentation and a few examples (for illustration, not cannibalism).

How do I get the Adobe PDF Reader add-on to show up in IE9?

I want PDFs to open w/in the internet explorer 9 browser, but they won't. I've tried to enable the add-on in IE9, but it's not even listed.

The steps to enable the Adobe PDF plug-in vary depending on your version of Internet Explorer.
     Select Tools > Manage Add-ons. (Or choose Tools > Internet Options, click the Programs tab, then click Manage Add-ons.)
     In the Show pop-up menu, select All Add-ons. (In some versions the option is Add-ons That Have Been Used by Internet Explorer.)
     Scroll to the section of add-ons for Adobe Systems, and select Adobe PDF Reader.
     If the status of Adobe PDF Reader is set to Disabled, click the Enable button.

How do I display the web address within Adobe PDF Reader 10 & IE 9 64-bit?

Until a week ago, I was using IE 9 32-bit version together with Adobe PDF Reader 10. When I would try to open a PDF file from within the browser, it would and the Web Address would continue to display at the top of the window while browing the PDF document. I could then continue using IE 9 and move on to other pages and etc...
Now, I have swtiched to using the IE 9 64-bit version. What happens now is that when I enter an address in the web browser and it's a direct link to a PDF file example: https://www.technicalindicatorindex.com/newsletter/bpdf/TII_Newsletter_1686a_10.11.11_7055 475115.pdf ), it opens up with no problems, but I no longer see the IE 9 Web Address shown anywhere. So in essence, that page becomes a Adobe PDF program window and I loose my IE 9 access. I guess the PDF files are no longer displayed within the browser (althought I have it check ON).
Am I missing something?

I did write there, but no replies
I guess that with Adobe Reader 10.1.1 running with IE 9.x in x64 bit mode, you cannot open the PDF within explorer, as it does it outside it as a separate Window?
Correct?

How to reduce a PDF file size under Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. The size is now 23MB; I need it to be less than 4MB. thanks

how to reduce a PDF file size under Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. The size is now 23MB; I need it to be less than 4MB. thanks

I've found in Pdf's many time when you go to Optimize a PDF and look at the font list there are often up to a 1/2dozen copies of a given font, say Helvetica, then that many Helvetica Bold, or Arial or Ariel Italic
What I do ie remove from list all but one copy of each different font. often dramatically reduces the size. also something lese is Flattening images will in some cases reduce a file size. I have run into a case where it actually made a PDF Larger.

HT2506 How do I drag an image around in the view, once it's magnified larger than the viewing area? I can imagine a simple "hand" tool like in Adobe PDF Reader doing this, but it's oddly missing in this application, quite a shame.

@Csound1 how is my mac relevant? I'm talking about software not hardware.
@Kurt Lang sorry, I composed the message when looking at "Preview" application help on this site, the fact that it missed the context here, is another issue I have with Apple's "famous" UI/UX design...
So for the record, I'm talking about the "Preview" app that comes bundles with Max OSX.

Cant install Adobe pdf reader le 2.5 for C6-01

I am not happy with the adobe pdf reader le built in app because it is not so effective for viewing pdf files. So I just want to upgrade to adobe pdf reader le 2.5. But before buying the app I just want to check whether it suits my needs. So I downloaded a trial version from quickoffice.com and tried installing. I got "update error" message. So thinking the already installed version is creating problems, I uninstalled the pdf reads from my Phone and then again tried installing the downloaded le 2.5 version. This time I got " Unable to install. Install base pack first" message. What exactly is the meaning? How shall I install this app. ?

I have a unsigned full version of Adobe Reader LE 2.5, from my good friend and genius coder known as r@me$h.
I signed it using my cert and key and installed it over the default Adobe Reader in my mobile(c6-01) and the installation was successful and with a reboot I was using the LE 2.5..!!!!
The trial version quickoffice didnt work for me either...!!!

Hi gaiafromri,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below will help you troubleshoot the issue you are having with your upgrade to Mavericks. Check to see if the software is incompatible with this version of the operating system. The correct version of Adobe Reader can be downloaded from their website. What version of Final Cut Pro do you have?
