Re-Register AdobePDF.dll?

I own Acrobat Pro 7. My OS is XP Pro. I have a 3d party app (DocScan Pro) which uses Acropdf.dll to display PDFs which it creates by scanning. The problem is that the app thinks acropdf.dll is not installed, so it nags me to install Acrobat Reader (and, fails to display any pdfs). I've tried installing Reader 8, then Reader 9, then uninstalling them, then reinstalling, them, etc., but the problem persists.
My guess is that somehow acropdf.dll is not registered in the registry properly. It exists where you'd expect to find it. There are numerous references to it in the registry, but maybe not the one which lets a 3d party app call it?
I've always had Acrobat Pro set to be my default PDF viewer (why use Reader if you paid for Pro?). I also have PDFs on the internet set to display in Acrobat and *not* the browser. However, when I reverse that and try to display an internet pdf in my browser, the browser (Firefox) gives me an error indicating that it can't display it.
Q. - How can I re-register Acropdf.dll to fix this?

I have a customer who is having the same problem. We sell an application that uses acropdf.dll for display of pdf files in the program. My customer has Reader 9 installed, but it seems the acropdf.dll file is not correctly registered on the machine because our application cannot load the pdf files in our viewer. Our program is written currently in VB5. It works just fine for most everybody on both XP and Vista, but some encouter this problem.
The user has unistalled and re-installed Reader 9 at my suggestion, but with no success (this does fix the problem for most people). The acropdf.dll file is located in the expected location.
Does anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this apparent registration problem, when uninstalling and re-installing of Reader 9 is unsuccessful in fixing it? Is there anything the user should check/do after uninstalling Reader 9 to make sure that acropdf.dll will be registered correctly upon re-installation.
Thanks in Advance!

Need "adobePDF.dll" to install licensed version of CS3 on a new windows 8.1 machine

I'm prompted to insert the Windows VISTA disk, which I do not have. Any ideas for where to get this file, and where to place it after I do find it (if).
Thank you in advance.

Hi, Jeff,
Thank you for responding.
It's Adobe CS3 (Creative Suite 3 Design Premium), and the prompt occurs during installation.
After CS3 is installed without the fie, Photoshop will not recognize RAW images from my Nikon D60. I also tried the plug-in for Camera Raw 4.6, but it did not help PS open RAW images.
I'm running Windows 8.1, and do know where or how to ocate the "AdobePDF.dll" file, or how to instll once I do find it.
Thanks and regards,

Satellite L770 - I cannot find an adobepdf.dll

Hello
I've just taken delivery of a L770 laptop and am now busy installing my programs.
Adobe Acrobat Professional v8.00 asks for adobepdf.dll to be installed from the Windows Vista CD-Rom, which I don't have because this laptop has Windows 7 Home edition 64 bit installed.
I cannot find an adobepdf.dll on this computer, nor rather worryingly can I find any cab files. I did not receive a windows cd as I did with my first Toshiba laptop many years ago - am I now stuck?
I thought that all computers had to have the windows files supplied?
regards
Denise

Of course you cannot be happy with that but adobepdf.dll is not a part of the Windows OS and the Acrobat Pro was not a part of the image so I assume the Acrobat Pro has to be installed once again in order to include this
Did you check the solution provided by Adobe?
Did you check the link above?
*Solution for Windows 7 64-bit*
+Manually extract the file "adobepdf.dll_64" from the data1.cab file before installing Acrobat. When the prompt appears, navigate to this file and select it.+
+1. Navigate to the folder that contains the setup.exe file for your Acrobat 8 installation.+
+2. Locate the file "data1.cab" and open it (this may require a third party compression utility, such as WinZip).+
+3. Inside the content listings, locate the file "adobepdf.dll_64" and copy it to your desktop.+
+4. Run the installer setup.exe and when the prompt appears, choose browse and select the file you copied to the desktop.+
+Note: If the file cannot be selected, change the file type drown down in the dialog box to "Files of All Types", or rename the file to "adobepdf.dll" by removing "_64" from the end of the file extension.+

"AdobePDF.dll needed from Acrobat CD-ROM" While Installing 9 Pro Extended on XP?!

Greetings,
When I try to install Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended on a machine running Acrobat 9.2 or higher, it wants the AdobePDF.dll file. It's looking for it in Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\I386Vista. I'm running the install on a 32-bit XP machine. The install is set to uninstall all other versions of Adobe Acrobat first. The file is there before the uninstall but doesn't get put back with the install of the new version. It does not happen if the machine is running anything less than Acrobat 9.2 and it doesn't happen with machines only running Adobe Reader (no matter the version). Can anyone help me with this? I have to push via SCCM and I will have hundreds of angry users when the pop-up window displays asking them to point to where the file is located.

Hi,
I'm not going to be much help, but I'll try.
First, Adobe's first effort at supporting SCCM by providing a SCUP catalog is only in prerelease. There's no public info available at the moment. It sounds like some of you issues are SCCM specific.
However, I did ping high level support and got this response:
If he has a volume license, he should be transferred to a different queue in Customer Support. You might see if that happened when he called customer support.
There's nothing specific to version 9 in the KBs, but it looks like it sometimes happens if someone has installed Acrobat previously with a suite.
There are third-party discussions on this if you google it with SCCM or SMS.
I wish I could be more helpful.

Error registering crqe.dll

Post Author: wkiess
CA Forum: General
Hi All,
I am working with VB6 SP6 and CR10 and have used the VB6 Package and Deployment Wizard to create a setup for my application. When running the setup in a WinXP VM, I got an error message towards the end of the installation which reads "An error has occurred registering file C:\Program Files\Common Files\Cyrstal decision\2.5\bin\crqe.dll". I retried a couple of times, gave up and skipped it. Then I received an error about a file not found ImagX7.dll (which I later checked it was actually there) and finally I received another registering error "An error occurred registering file C:\Windows\System32\Imagx7pr.dll". again I retried a couple of time and gave up and skipped it. The application appears to run ok, although I have not tired to execute a report (as there are database connectivity issues to be ironed out). I tried to register the dlls manually and got an "Access Denied" message.
Could the fact that I'm running in a VM be causing these issues? Is it a permissions/security problem? How do I covercome this problem?
Update: Just found the solution to the Imagx7.dll problem: As there was no dependency file for the Imagx7 control, the Imagx7.dll was not included in the package. Including the file has solved the errors associated with that file. Now only need to solve the crqe.dll not registering poblem...

This may help you:

Adobepdf.dll missing when 99% of Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Web Premium is installed?

99% Installed on Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Web Premium then received an error window: The file AdobePDF.dll on Adobe Acrobat CD-ROM is needed. Type the path where the file is located, and then click O.K. Browse to the file and copy files from it. Please advise as to how to finish this install. I am able to open each one of the applications that were installed from the Program Files, but the install is still sitting at 99% and the Files Needed window is still up. Please advise. Thank you!

I did see this information, but I do not have 64 bit, nor am I trying to
install CS3. So, will this work for 32 bit and CS5.5?
Thank you!

I need a copy of AdobePDF.dll, can anyone help?

I need to get a copy of AdobePDF.dll from Windows Vista disk. I do not have any Vista Disks.and upgraded my PC to Windows 7 Home Premium. Any suggestions where I can get it? I was reinstalling Adobe CS3 Design Premium when the installation stopped and asked me to insert the Windows Vista Disk to get the AdobePDF.dll file.

The AdobePDF.dll file is part of the Adobe Acrobat product and not part of Windows, Vista or otherwise!
You need to purchase a license to Adobe Acrobat (or any Adobe product containing Acrobat) to obtain that file and the functionality associated with same.
By the way, exactly what do you need only that one file for?

Registering ODAC Dlls

Hello everyone!
Normally before installing my app I install the ODTwithODAC112030. But I've just recently been able to get a hold of a registered copy of Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and was exploring the Setup Package. I came across the "Global Assembly Cache Folder" and was wondering if it is possible to just add the ODAC dlls on this folder and then free myself from Installing the ODTwithODAC112030 everytime I install an app. I tried it but i get this error:
System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleConnection' threw an exception. ---> Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException: The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client

Problem with acces to Oracle.DataAccess.dll in application folder
Hello,
actual there are only 2 methods to install and register these DLLs. Xcopy and universal installer
Please read this thread for more information.
Your Exception:
I got the same message. I tried to place the DataAcess Dll into the application folder and removed them from GAC. This does not work. It seems that they need some underlying non managed Dlls and cannot access them in this way.

Register a DLL? or some other problem?

I have an app written in C# that I have copied out to several 32 bit machines. It works fine. We just started rolling out some 64 bit machines. I installed sql developer on that machine and we struggled a bit, but finally got it working fine. Then, I installed my app. When it runs, and tries to connect to Oracle, the error is "Type initializer for 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleConnection' threw an exception.
I am wondering if I need to register a dll? If so, I don't know which one? We have tried updating everything we could find. All machines have .NET 4.5 running. I think I need to hook Oracle to Windows?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

It'd be helpful to know what the exception being thrown is (would be the InnerException of the one you're catching), but it's most likely a problem with the bit-ness of the application. If the compiler is set to AnyCPU (and it is by default), on the 64 bit machine you'll need a 64 bit version of the Oracle client. If you set it to x86, then you'll need a 32 bit Oracle client on all the machines (including the 64 bit ones).
Just registering a DLL won't be enough to solve this unless you're using the managed client beta, in which case you could do that or add the necessary entries into the app config file (and not have to register anything).

Error 1904 "Cannot register ExportSDK.dll" when installing BOXI

When installing BO Entreprise XI Release 2 on my PC WXP SP2, had 2 error messages 1904 "Cannot register dll" on :

I had to ignore both errors to complete install.
Although BOXI seams to work fine, should I fix the error and how to ?

5. Click ignore to all the 1904 errors you get while installing and it should finish the install process
6. Once the install is complete, go to the Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs and reinstall BOXI.

Solution2:
You need to disable the DEP option for all services and programs other than those needed by the Operating System, before installing the product.
To disable DEP:

2) Select the top radio button and restart the system for changes to take effect.
3) Upon completing these steps, you can now successfully install the product.
Solution3:
Sometimes we fail to register the .DLL using REGSVR32 because in the system there is the alias copy of these DLLs. Therefore, could you please check the system folders that is there any alias .DLLs are present for ExportSDK.dll and Import6.dll if there is any such .DLLs could you please remove the dlls and try to register again.
In case of queries please do revert we will be glad to help you.

Adobepdf.dll needed when installing CS3 with Windows 7.

I have tried some of the tips given on the Adobe site to install the Adobepdf.dll file located on the CD, but installation still fails.

Several folks have been successful with AA 8 one Win7 32-bit, and a few have reported success with 64-bit version. I have not heard of anyone using CS3, but if you can install it you may on your way. If Acrobat 8 installed, your first step is to do the updates, particularly if a 64-bit system. Indeed, AA 8 is not certified for use on Win7 and may fail in some aspects, but as I indicated, several folks have indicated success.

AdobePDF.dll

Ich möchte gerne CS3 Design Premium auf einem Laptop mit Windows 8 64 bit installieren. Leider erhalten ich bei der Installation die Fehlermeldung, dass AdobePDF.dll nicht gefunden wird. Wo finde ich diese Datei?
