Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Browser Control Issue
Michael Cole
as follows.
- Start a new project and add a single form.
- Put a single AcroPDF control on the form.
- Run the app in either design mode or by compiling and running the exe - no
problems.
- Save all files and close down VB.
- Now, open up the project in VB again, and then open up the form - get an
error of "Line 13: Cannot load control AcroPDF1.", and the form comes up
with the control not there.
- Note that you can re-add the control and everything works fine again - it
just will not stick.
Appended are the copies of both the VBP and the form for reference - any
suggestions would be welcome, as I am at a loss as to where to go. Note
that this has been duplicated on a second machine.

Out of curiosity, is this control part of the free Acrobat Reader or do you
need the full-blown Acrobat product to use it?
Michael Cole
I'm assuming that it came with the free Reader product. It was installed
from an installation exe named "AdbeRdr70_enu_full.exe", which someone else
provided, so it looks like the free Reader download.

I have now done that, and it works fine. I'm now thinking that perhaps this
is by intent, given that the control now comes from a dll rather than an ocx
(as it was in v6 and earlier).
I might actually now have a play around, and see if I can write some sort of
generic loader, that can figure out what version of Acrobat is installed (if
any) and then load the appropriate control at runtime.

Hi Michael, Ken
Thanks for the Code to load the AcroPDF.PDF.1.. I had the same problem with
reloading a project.
It's works with German VB 6.0 und Acrobat Reader7.0 too.
But the method PRINTALL doesn't work.
Have you any idea, why I can't print over PRINTALL and PRINTPAGES, but I can
print over PrintWithDialog.
Thanks Carsten
