OLE objects & scaning in Acrobat 8.0

Hello!
In forums (May 3, 2007) I have read the question:
" How to avoid dialogue of saving in a file before scanning in Acrobat 8"?
Leonard Rosenthol has answered, that there is no way because
now developers changed from "Scan & Save" to "Save & Scan".
It is very surprising!!!
I have the application which uses OLE automation for scanning documents in Acrobat and place them in
database as OLE objects.
In database the object is created on the basis of an PDF file with one empty page and then activated in
window of Acrobat.
Then menu item "Scan" is carried out.
Fragment of VBA code (properly work in Acrobat 6):
Set GL.Acr = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
GL.Acr.Show
GL.Acr.Minimize 0
Me!DocImage.Class = "AcroExch.Document" 'set class of OLE object
Me!DocImage.SourceDoc = "c:\applicants\empty.pdf" 'source file with empty sheet
Me!DocImage.Action = acOLECreateEmbed 'creation on basis of source file
Me!DocImage.Verb = acOLEVerbOpen 'command - open
Me!DocImage.Action = acOLEActivate 'activation in Acrobat
ScanExe = GL.Acr.MenuitemExecute("Scan")
If ScanExe = False Then
But Acrobat 8.0 does not understand, that document is open from OLE object
and always gives out save dialog before scaning.
Menu items -"Update" (instead of "Save") and "Exit and Return to ..."
(instead of "Exit") are absent.
It turns out, that in Acrobat 8 you have destroyed an opportunity of work with
documents contained in OLE objects in other applications. It is absolutely not clear.
Please answer what to do???

Dear Leonard!
I disagree with your answer.
OLE automation is used by many programs.
Within the framework of this technology is widely used:
- creation and preservation of object in the application - client (database in my case),
- then opening of object in application - server (Acrobat in my case)
- and applying methods described in the documentation of application - server to open object.
In my code is used the standard technology of OLE automation and ONLY!!! the methods described in the documentation of Acrobat.
My code works in Acrobat 6 and Acrobat 7.
I have written previous message to make Acrobat better!!!
I so understand, that you answer on behalf of developers, but your answer not worthy the world famous name - "Adobe".
I think, that developers of new scan plug-in for Acrobat 8 simply did not consider, that the document can be open from the object stored in application - client.
And as representative of developers it is necessary for you either to recognize publicly a problem or publicly to declare, that "Adobe" will not solve it, instead of to write, that not documentary opportunities have been used.
Yours faithfully,
Victor.

  • Access 2003 Embedded OLE Object + Acrobat Reader 9.2 error on close?

    This seems to be a known problem without a known solution.
    We have a SQL database backend and an Access 2003 frontend. The Access client displays scanned PDF documents via an embedded OLE Object field.
    Up until recently, we had been using Acrobat Reader 6.0 as the default viewer, but we switched up to 9.2 so that our staff could read external PDFs with security/encryption,etc. When an embedded PDF is viewed now through the Access client, an error is thrown when Acrobat Reader is closed, indicating that an OLE server was not registered, or needed to be re-installed. This did not happen with the Acrobat 6.0 client.
    Is there any automatic behind-the-scenes file updates being performed when Acrobat Reader 9.2 shuts down? It seems like some information is trying to be written (maybe a timestamp?) and is kicking back an error when it can't update the target file.
    Is there a workaround for this? I need the ability to read secured PDFs, but I also don't want my users having to needlessly deal with persistent error messages.

    Disable the protection mode in the preferences of Adobe Reader.

  • OLE object Migration from Access to Oracle through SQL developer

    Hello,
    I used sql developer 3.1.07(oracle 11g) to perform data migration from MS ACESS.
    the MS access data has a column with data type as "OLE object" ---there
    saved a lot of pdf files .
    Then I performed "copy to oracle" from MS access connection, the OLE data
    changed to BLOB from oracle database, and data seems to be copied to
    database as binary . However none of the data in the column can be opened. I
    download the blob data to a file from sql developer and tried to open
    using Adobe 8.1 with no success.
    How can I fix this issue? or I should say, how can I migrate MS access OLE data to oracle?
    Thanks,
    H.M.

    thx - will have a look

    The original PDF content starts with:

    %ª«¬

    But when I try to save the content in the BLOB as a file it claims about a missing mime extension and when I ignore this message and save the file anyway as a PDF the content is corrupted.
    It shows as :
    Acrobat Document ..

    Did you also get the missing mime type error message?

  • PDF from Autocad 2010 ignores OLE objects?

    Has anyone else experienced this?
    OLE objects in Autocad are simply not printed to PDF using the AcrobatPDF driver.
    I am using CS4 (Acrobat 9 pro) and Autocad Civil 3D 2010. I did not have this issue with previous cad releases.
    Thanks

    You'll need to open or reimport the OLE object and reinsert it into the open AutoCAD (2009) document.  Then it should print.  It just happend to me.
    That was one work-around.
    The other was to open the document in AutoCAD LT and then it printed to PDF just fine, without reinsertion of the OLE object.
    I hope that helps.

  • Problem with ole objects

    Hello to all,
    I'm having a problem concerning the use of ole objects.
    I'm using Oracle Forms 6.0.8.16.0 with Oracle Reports 6.0.8.1.7.1 on Windows 2000 with Oracle Database Server 9.2.0.4.0.
    I have several forms with base tables including blob columns which are used to store ole objects. These could be MS-Word-documents or Bitmaps of signatures. When inserting these objects via "create new" and choose the object type, Word or Paintbrush opens and i can create my objects. After committing these changes to the database, these objects are printed in a report correctly. When inserting these objects via "create from file" or using a push button which is executing "initialize_container" with a file and committing to the database, i get an error while executing the report "REP-0082: Error executing SCA utility".
    I want to use a push button to store my ole objects because the "create" dialogue is confusing our users because there is a huge list of all possible ole objects on the client.
    Can anybody help with this ?
    And to the Oracle Team, please don't suggest simply to upgrade to a higher patch level without looking at the problem. First, I tested all patch levels up to 16, with no change. Second, it's not easy to upgrade for an 24x7 application with hundreds of users in different countries with different ways of deployment.

  • Attention!!-don't use OLE object in Reports

    If you are planning to use or is currently using OLE objects in Reports-please don't use it as the object maynot reload in future and your report may not even open in Report Builder.I got this message when opening the report containing OLE object:
    REP-4004: Error occurred while restoring OLE object
    and it refused to open up crashing my days of work.
    The pity is I can't open my report even to remove the OLE object.

    I know that is weird.I placed the object in the same directory-but in vain.Afterall, what's the logic of putting it in the same directory after embedding it?

  • OLE objects linked to MS Word/MS Excel do not update in InfoView

    I am facing the following problem:
    - Embedded a Word document as linked OLE object into a crystal report and stored it to Enterprise repository.
    - When opening the report with CR Developer from my workstation, links are updated and changes made in the .doc file are reflected, the report is updated
    - However when displaying and refreshing the report in InfoView changes aren't reflected.
    The OLE link (type document) is set to update automatically. I tried to store the report to the enterprise repository with and without data. Yet no difference - no update in either case. Neither scheduling nor opening and refreshing the report in InfoView helps.
    I further inserted an OLE object linked to a bmp image, and for the image refreshing works, even in InfoView
    So am I doing something wrong?
    Some threads in this forum indicate that only OLE linked pictures (bmp, jpg) can be refreshed dynamically, e.g.
    [Dynamically change path to OLE file]
    Others indicate that it is also possible to dynamically refresh OLE objects linked to .doc, e.g.
    [Re: Link to Word document doesn't refresh when running from Infoview]
    - Is it at all possible to dynamically display the contents of .doc or .xls files in a CR when viewing and refreshing the report in InfoView (without the need to reopen and resave the report with CR Developer first) ?
    - We are using BOE XI3.1 SP3 and Crystal Reports 2008 SP3.  On the BOE server Crystal Reports Developer is not installed. Can this be a prerequisite for the OLE links to update in InfoView?
    - Any other suggestions?
    Thanks
    Konrad

    Hi Don,
    Thank you for the quick reply.
    - You say that this works in CR Designer. That's right. As described above, even I can open the report with CR Designer and the links are getting updated.
    - However if I do not reopen and resave the report with Designer ... if I just open and refresh the report in InfoView to get the updated information from the files ... changes are not shown. I face this problem ONLY with ole links to .doc and .exe. OLE links to image formats such as .bmp do work. WHY?
    My files are already stored locally to the BO server and the (changed) image files are read and updated from exactly this directory. But not the linked Excel and Word files...
    Thanks

  • Memory problem if OLE-object references to WMF files

    Hi there,
    I have a report with an OLE object containing WMFs.
    The graphic files are variable and their name is loaded from the database during runtime (path + filename).
    Running the report leads to 185 pages, each one containing a different WMF.
    If I preview the report in CR, everything looks fine.
    If I print the report, the OLE object / graphic is left empty....
    If I export the report to PDF (as an example) I get the error message 'memory full'. Reducing the data set to ~50, the PDF is created. But the pictures get resized (much bigger) and only parts are visible.
    The machine I'm using doesn't have any memory problems.
    The WM files are only 3 to 12 KB each.
    If I convert the WMFs to JPG and use these within the report it works...
    Problem with this: a loss of quality (it is necessary to stretch the pictures to certain size)
    Thanks in advance for any ideas!
    Susanne
    I'm using CR 2008 SP 3 on Windows 2003 Server

    Format the pictures outside of CR for best results.

  • Is there an "Edit Object Tool" in Acrobat 11?

    Is there an "Edit Object Tool" in Acrobat 11 that is comparable to the Edit Object Tool in Acrobat 10 and earlier versions?  Has it been discontinued, or split into 2 loosely connected tools, the new Edit Text and Images Tool?
    I love the new Edit Text Tool in Acrobat 11, but the old Edit Object Tool in Acrobat 10 and earlier versions was great when I wanted to resize a block of objects.  The old Edit Object Tool would resize both text and graphic objects, but not everything like form fields, although there are limited workarounds like printing the file to pdf to flatten it and then resizing, but doing so will discard the form fields.
    When using the old Edit Object Tool to resize a group of objects that contain text, it will scale the text in proportion to everything else in the selection.  The new Edit Text and Images Tool in Acrobat 11 does not resize or scale the text.  It does change the size of the text containers, but the text does not resize.
    There are situations where it is valuable to resize a group of objects that contain both text and images, but I can't get the new tool to do it, or I'm not operating the tool correctly.  Is this functionality gone in version 11, or am I doing something wrong or using the wrong tool?
    I initially upgraded both of my laptop workstations from Acrobat 10 to 11, but have now gone back to running Acrobat 10 on one machine and Acrobat 11 on the other so I can realize the great new functionality of the new Acrobat 11 Text Tools without losing the valuable functionality of the Edit Object Tool in earlier versions.
    I posted a 5 star positive review on Amazon at:
    http://www.amazon.com/review/R3GAQNISK3WR4S/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R3GAQNISK3WR4S
    but I might have to drop it to 4 stars if the old functionality has been discarded
    Clarification or guidance would be appreciated.

    Dave, Thank you for the accurate and effective information.  I added the icon to my toolbar.
