Use pdf.ocx or AcroPDF.dll to open a pdf file in a form

Hi to all,
I have this kind of problem.
I need to open a pdf in a form, just for reading.
Even if my project is written in VB6, this is not the problem. It could be also in .NET, so I hope you don't reply anything about the development platform.
In a couple of threads, I found two ways to open a pdf in a form: using pdf.ocx or acropdf.dll.
In both cases, this solution works for me in debug, but not in deployed release.
I have two kind of problems:
- if the computer where I execute the program HAS NOT Adobe Reader installed, I have an error "missing dependencies" concerning acropdf.dll or pdf.ocx
- if the computer where I execute the program has Adobe Reader installed, I have an error concerning dll or ocx file version.
The solution works only if the AcroPDF.dll file included in my project has a version equal to the Adobe Reader version installed on the customer's computer.
How can I solve these problems?
The best would be if I could use one of this components without installing Adobe Reader.
If this is not possible, my further question is: if the Adobe Reader version installed on the customer's computer is greater than my AcroPDF.dll, will my project work?
If you need further informations to understand the problem, you can ask me.
Thanks in advance for replies.
Bye
Nino

PDF.OCX was an UNSUPPORTED COMPONENT that stopped being included as of Adobe Reader 7. Also, VB6 support stopped with Reader 7 as well. As Adobe only supports Reader 8 and later, there is no need to worry about either.
AcroPDF.dll is part of Reader - it isn't available separately. So yes, your users will need to have Adobe Reader 8 or later installed on their computer.
As long as you target Reader 8 or above, and AcroPDF.dll - you'll work with Reader 8, 9 and X...

Post your problem in the forum for Acrobat SDK.

PDF.OCX or AcroPDF.DLL

We have a Powerbuilder 9 and 10 application that use to use PDF.OCX, but we can no longer register the
file. We have also read this is no longer supported so we started investigating AcroPDF.DLL. Problem is no matter what we register, we receiv
e an error and this was the same error we receive when we register the PDF.OCX. We recently updated our machines to Windows XP Sp3, but that appears to be the only thing that was done. I have downloaded the Acrobat SDK and cannot figure out what we'd do to have Powerbuilder be able to choose the com object.
"DLL RegisterServer in acroPDF.DLL failed. Return code was 0x80004005"
Any help would be appreciated plz. Thanks.

Hi, i'm new using numbers, and when I try to open a excel file don't let me do it, instead appears a box whit a error and close app, any help?

Hi, i'm new using numbers, and when I try to open a excel file don't let me do it, instead appears a box whit a error and close app, any help?

What does the error say?
A couple of thoughts: the file is corrupted or is password-protected. Corruption is more likely to cause Numbers to crash & Numbers cannot open password-protected Excel files. Try using one of the free Office clones & see what happens.

I have Adobe Reader XI with the package that allows me to send pdfs and convert pdfs to Word. When I open a pdf and try to search the search shows no matches even though the word I am searching for is in the document. Any suggestions how to search?

Once again, my thanks for your assistance. If I may impose on your generosity one more time, if I understand you correctly if I create a document on Word or WordPerfect, print it and scan it to create a pdf, the search function will not work. But, if I create the pdf document in Word the search function will work. Unfortunately, I am not sure how I create a pdf document in Word other than by printing it and scanning it. Could you please explain.

How can I launch a site that I designed for a client using their MobileMe account? Can they 'open' my iWeb files on their iWeb software?

How can I launch a site that I designed for a client using their MobileMe account? Can they 'open' my iWeb files on their iWeb software?

If you give them the Domain.sites2 file that iWeb used to create the site they will be able to open it with iWeb application (it has to be the same version as you have) and make changes. But if you're expected to also make changes you'll need a way to send that file back and forth between the two.
Also there's an online MacWorld article that describes a way that both of you could manage the site using Dropbox. Look at Managing an iWeb site from multiple Macs.

You need Adobe Reader version 8.1.1 from here:

I'm one of the few idiots in the world who use the "Pages" App. Whenever I open an XLS file. "Numbers" quits - siting use of SFCompatability plugin. Reports to Mac. Problem remains constant?

When you get the SF Compatibility plug in message something in the installed iWork part is corrupt. You ned to uninstall and install iWork again
You cannot completely delete iWork by moving the iWork '09 folder to the Trash. Instead, use Yvan Koenig's script:
          •          Go to http://www.box.com/s/00qnssoyeq2xvc22ra4k
          •          Choose public_YK > for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items
          •          Click on uninstall iWork '09.zip, decompress it, open it in AppleScript Editor and click the Run button
Restart the computer and install from the iWork disc. Do the Software updates too.

I use CS6 and when I try to open a ai file from later version I'm told i must select a page from the PDF to open?

I am following tutorials in Adobe Illustrator CC Classroom in a Book, but I use CS6. How can I open the lesson files to display correctly?

I'm having further problems when I open these CC ai lesson files.
All the swatches disappear.
I had not realized there would be such compatibility issues between CS6 and CC.
Yes I am warned when opening files craeted with later versions that there might be some "data loss" but this seems beyond reasonable?

the exporter to export it as excel. We have some reports that when
they are scheduled to run, they are saved as Excel. How can I
programatically open that excel file from my servlet.Here is the error:

The PSReportFactory service, CR Page Server, is only for viewing Crystal Report formats, and not instances in other formats.
For the other formats, ensure you list the SI_FILES property in the InfoStore query, then cast the resulting InfoObject to IContent. The IContent interface support methods to stream the file content from the File Repository Server.

Illustrator CS4 stürzt beim öffnen einer PDF ab / Illustrator CS4 crashes while opening a PDF

Hallo liebe Community,
leider kann mir der telefonsiche support nicht weiterhelfen (Produkt ist zu alt), deshalb seid ihr nun meine letzte Chance!
Nun zu meinem Problem:
ich benutze seit einigen Jahren erfoglreich den Adobe Illustrator aus CS4 um PDF-Datein zu editieren.
Vor kurzem musste ich zusätzliche eine Software namens "FontExplorerX" installieren und seit dem habe ich das Phänomen, dass ich keine PDF-Dateien mehr mit Illustrator öffnen kann.
Der Illustrator startet ganz normal und ich kann mit anderen Dateiformaten ganz normal arbeiten, aber sobald ich eine PDF-Datei öffnen will friert das Programm ein und ich kann nichts mehr machen. Das erstellen von PDF-Dateien funktioniert hingegen normal.
Natürlich habe ich diesen "FontExplorer" dann wieder deinstalliert, leider blieb das Problem.
Auch eine Reinstallation des Illustrators, inklusive löschen der Voreinstellungen, brachte keine Abhilfe.
In der knowledge-base stand, dass man die Voreinstellungen löschen kann , was ich auch probiert habe, leider ohne Erfolg.
Nun weiß ich nicht mehr was ich noch probieren kann. Vielleicht hat jemand noch eine Idee was man ausprobieren könnte!?
Hier noch ein paar Infos zum System:
- Win7 x64
- Adobe CS4 Design Standard
- Illustrator CS4 Version 14.0.0
Vielen Dank im voraus für Anregungen und Tipps!
Fabian

Dear community ,
unfortunately the phone support can not help me (product is too old ), so now you are my last chance !
Now to my problem :
I have been using for several years Adobe Illustrator CS4 to edit PDF files .
Recently I had to install "FontExplorerX " and since this moment I have the phenomenon that I cannot open PDF files with Illustrator.
The illustrator starts normally and I can work normally with other file formats, but when I try to open a PDF file the program freezes and I can not do anything. The creation PDF files works normally.
Of course, I uninstalled the "FontExplorer", but the problem remained .
Also, a reinstallation of Illustrator, including deleting the preferences did not help.
The knowledge-base says that you can delete the default settings of Illustrator, which I also tried, unfortunately without success.
Now I do not know what else I can try. Maybe someone has an idea what else you could try?
Here is some information about the system :
- Win7 x64
- Adobe CS4 Design Standard
- Illustrator CS4 version 14.0.0
Thanks in advance for suggestions and tips!

New copies of pdf creates whenever i edit or open the pdf, adobe version 11.5.0

I am using ASUS fonepad 7 tablet (model K00Z), android 4.3 jelly bean, adobe reader app version 11.5.0
Whenever i open up a pdf or edit it and exit adobe reader, a new copy of same pdf is created in adobe's folder with the integer suffix to original name.e.g.
Abc.pdf as Abc-1.pdf, Abc-2.pdf and so on..corresponding to number of times i open up pdf.
I dont want such copies to be created whenever i open up pdf and exit adobe reader. One thing i have noticed is, while exiting pdf(adobe reader) by using back button it says "document saved", might be at this point copy is created.
Please suggest me ways to resolve this problem.
Thanks

Thanks Shefali for responding the post.
Referring to the question you raised, i use adobe application only for pdf reading and editing. And also not accessing pdf files via hyperlink/email or from such other entities.
One thing might help you, my previous observation, that copy is created when i exit pdf was wrong..sorry for that.
Copy is created in adobe folder of my internal memory with original name (lets say "abc.pdf") as soon as i open up the pdf and it doesnt get deleted by itself when i exit pdf.
Next time, when i open up the abc.pdf (from original location), copy again is created but with new name, i.e. abc-1.pdf
Hence, whenever I edit pdfs, changes are not saved in original file but only in temporary copies. And i would like to do away of such copies so that i can easily track my changes in original file.
Thanks

Using Illustrator CS and being able to open the same file on two machines!

Hi,
Don't know if anybody can help?
I have been using macs for many years and now we have moved over to windows!
We are using a server (not sure which type? NT?) and we have found that with the Mac you could not have two users in the same file but with Windows I can be in an Illustrator file and a colleague can also open the same file - no error message comes up or anything! We can then both do changes in that file and the last to save has the updated file.
Can we do anything so you get a error message for the second user?
Any ideas?
Thanks
Carole

Hi,
this does not make sense? Its the SAME version of Illustrator as that was on the Mac but when working on the PC you can both be in the file. On the Mac you get an error message saying the file is already open and you cannot access it.
This must be a Windows issue or a Server issue as the problem is not on the Mac?

Use pdf.ocx or AcroPDF.dll to open a pdf file in a form
