Sonow I understand, that I need to give it the reference to that .tlb file. I am good up to here, but whenever I try to browse I can never find this file. I just downloaded Adobe, so I know I have the most recent version.

I'm not 100% on this, but loading Adobe by itself may not give you the library you are looking for. You could need the file which is located in the SDK (which happens to be free) adobe site. Try installing this, and see if you can navigate to the tlb.


SQL hound was right. To expand on what he suggested and be more specific for this issue for those with this problem in the future, you need to download the Acrobat DC SDK (not the air one). In InterappCommunicationSupport/Headers you will find acrobat.tlb.


In the Visual Basic Code "tools/references", I clicked "Browse" and went to the location I have found, selected the file and clicked OK. Returning back to "tools/references", the "Adobe Acrobat 10.0 Type Library" is now available and selected.I have run minimal code to open and show the number of pages of the opened "pdf" document and it returned the proper number of pages.


Just so you know:I now remember that there was a selection called only "acrobat", it is now gone. Must have been caused by selecting manually the desired file.Maybe that selection was pointing to the "acrobat.tlb" file. You can see the full path and name of the file corresponding to the selected library name at the bottom of the reference window.


I am missing something obvious. To get some VBA codes working I need a reference to Adobe Library. I do not have this. Three hours of searching the Web reveals endless sites talking about these products. Up until now I find no web site telling me how to get it. I I want and need this Library. I need Adobe Acrobat xx.0 Type Library, either version 8.0 9.0 or 10. I expect either would make my codes work. Can anyone point me in the right direction. There are lots of adobe web sites talking about these. I have not yet seen any information on how to get them . Possibly these Libraries are part of a larger Package.


If you want to use the Adobe Acrobat type library, you need to have Adobe Acrobat installed, not just the free Adobe Reader. You would know if Acrobat is installed, because you would have paid for it (or are paying on an ongoing basis for your subscription). The free Reader only offers a very small subset of the API that is available for the full version of Acrobat. The type library is not a separate download, it comes bundled with the Windows version of Adobe Acrobat. You also cannot use it without Acrobat, so even if you base an application on it, and then would distribute the type library with your code, it would not work without having Adobe Acrobat installed on every computer that your application needs to run on.


If you have a procedure that contains a Visual Basic for Applications function and your database contains a reference to a missing object library or type library, you may receive one of the following error messages when you compile your modules or run the procedure:


Your Microsoft Access database or project contains a missing or broken reference to the file .

* To ensure that your database or project works properly, you must fix this reference.

* To learn how to fix this reference, click Help.


An alternative to removing the reference is to restore the referenced file to the path that is specified in the References dialog box. If the referenced file is in a new location, clear the MISSING: reference, and then create a new reference to the file in the new folder.


In an Access run-time application, you cannot view references from a menu. However, the following article demonstrates how to view references using code:209849 How to loop through references to view their properties
