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

The VI you posted worked without a problem on my Win98 machine with AcrobatReader v5.0.5.

    Hi. I use Adobe Acrobat XI pro to make a PDF ebook embedded with audio. It works really well on my computer-I can read the book and hear the auto play mp3. The problem is, when I send it to my customers, they have difficulty hearing the audio. A few of them say they have Flash player on their PC and somehow they still can't hear, some say their Google Chrome browser tells them they've already got one flash player while they try to download one. For me, I had to download two versions of Flash player to be able to access to the audio. I don't know what the problem is, is it because it's the latest version of Adobe Acrobat XI pro that people with older version of Adobe reader or flash player can't open it properly? Or is it something else? How can I make sure every customer with different system can access to my books? Hope to hear from you ASAP! Thank you very much.

    And how are the customers accessing the PDFs?
    What devices are they using?
    What program or apps with versions are they using?
    I this age of other then PDF eBooks formats and reader program and apss for computers and mobile devices for these formats I would look at creating the books in one or more of the eBook formats.
    Google Chrome and FireFox both have their own version of a PDF reader plug-in and they are well known to be less capable than Adobe Reader. It is possible to configure these products to use Adobe Reader.

    You won't be able to install your original Acrobat 7 at all, or use your original serial number. The server which used to allow this was switched off.
    But assuming you have a compatible system, like Mac OS 5 or Windows XP, licensed users of Acrobat 7 can download a replacement and get a replacement serial number.

    This may because the attachment is a winmail.dat file. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for more information. Note: the article is written for OS X mail, but does also apply to this situation.

  • Text unreadable when using adobe acrobat to print pdf

    When printing to a pdf with adobe acrobat professional version 9 all i get is lots of symbols in place of the original text. I have tried printing preview, converting webpage to pdf etc but when converted to a pdf it just displays symbols, however when copying the text and pasting it here for example the text is readable.  Is there anyway i can fix this or i have a missed something in the settings of adobe acrobat?

    Generally, if you have the fonts on your system, then the fonts should properly display. To embed the fonts on your system, you would again have to have the fonts on your system. It sounds like some fonts are being used that you do not have. You might try downloading the fonts you think might be the problem. Be careful, you have to have the precise font, not one that sounds correct. Even sometimes fonts with the same name are not really compatible. You should be able to select the text touch up tool (new name in AA X) and select some of the text and see what the font name is. Then you know what you should be looking for.

  • Windows 7, Office 2007, Adobe Acrobat cs3 - will not create a .pdf from word doc

    I can not create a .PDF file from a 2007 word.docx file.  I have tried a few different word docs, including a document I created just to trouble shoot with.
    I tried opening the .docx in Word and then going PRINT - ADOBE PDF.  When I do this 'nothing' happens. No dialogue box opens, nada.
    When I open Adobe Acrobat and try to 'create' I get this error: "Adobe acrobat could not open"name.docx" because it is not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged...".

    See what dot version is in place.
    Support for Office 2007 applications began with Acrobat 8.1; so, you want that or better.

    One of our new project need to  print a pdf file (Application form) from local computer. So I'm looking for some API to print PDF files and I heard about acrobat SDK provide by Adobe. So my question is can I use this SDK for our companey commercial product development?

    Sure.
    Of course, the user will need to have either Acrobat or Reader installed – depending on which APIs you choose to use.

  • When useing Adobe Flash in for example youtube. The player will get more and more delays when using the player tools untill firefox freezes for about 10 sec.

    After freezing the player's delay will be reset to 0. I can replicate this "crash" by just moving my mouse on the youtube progress bar and see the delay building up. This only happens when firefox is my main window.

    please make sure that firefox.exe, plugin-container.exe and FlashPlayerPlugin_*.exe aren't blocked or sandboxed in any way by your security software or in case this doesn't work either try switching your AV provider (I'd recommend microsoft's security essentials, it is quite reliable and lightweight) or [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/flash-113-doesnt-load-video-firefox#w_solution-2-downgrade-flash downgrade to flash version 10.3].

  • Use Adobe Acrobat 3D for web CAD viewing

    We use Autodesk Inventor and pay a third party to host our 3D CAD viewing for our website. A user can go to a parts details page and click on view CAD model and a 3D, moveable model will pop-up. Can we use the 3D aspects of Acrobat to bring this service in-house?

    Hello Adam,
    Did you try to uninstall A3D then clean up your registery data base and then re-install. It should fix the problem, please keep us updated.

  • Windows 7 64-bit Adobe Reader 9.3 and IE8 - Opening PDF in tab and then closing said tab causes IE8

    I've been running Win7 64-bit for quite some time now and only up until a few weeksa go started to have problems with Adobe Reader continuing to ask me how I wanted to read a document and to click here to save the settings and not ask me again.  The check box never worked and it would continue to ask me constantly every time I opened up a new PDF file.
    I finally figured out how to get rid of the nagging dialog box but now each and every time I open up a new tab with a PDF file in it and then close the tab, IE8 crashes and tries to recover the tab.  This never happened before.
    What is causing this and how do I fix this?  Please advise.
    Upgraded to 9.3 this morning and problem remains.  Tried uninstalling all traces of Adobe Reader and reinstalling but still no dice.
    Problem also happens at home on a similar computer running Win 7 64-bit and running an older version of Acrobat and Adobe Reader.

    Try this:
    Right click on the IE8 icon in the taskbar. A menu pops ups up. Right click again on "Internet Explorer". Then left click on "Run as administrator". I had a different problem with Reader and this solved the problem. The problem I had was I could not save pdf files in IE8. This solved that problem.

  • Is it possible if I use Adobe Acrobat reader

    Hi all.
    I have some question to ask about Adobe acrobat reader and Adobe acrobat professional.
    Is it possible if I use Adobe Acrobat reader to input data in PDF file that is generated by interactive form using web dynpro or Abap program. I try to use acrobat reader. It can not input anything into PDF Form but I'm not sure it may be can or not.
    After I change PC that is install Adobe Acrobat Professional (offline: I save pdf file form web browser). It can input data into PDF Form.
    Plese let me understand.
    Thank you very much

    1) You only need a Adobe Reader (Version 7.0.9 or higher) to enter and Save data in Adobe form.  Just install the latest version of Adobe reader (8.x)

    2) Please make sure you are creating Interactive Forms, and not Print Forms.  for example, if you're using Java Web Dynpro, you need to enter the following code to make the form Interactive (so data can be saved within):
    IWDInteractiveForm iForm1 = (IWDInteractiveForm) view.getElement("<name of your form here");
    iForm1.setDynamicPDF(true);
