From: Michael Cole on 17 Jun 2005 00:06 I have a very unusual problem with getting this control to work. Issue is 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. -- VBP -- Type=Exe Reference=*\G{00020430-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}#2.0#0#..\..\..\..\WINDOW S\System32\stdole2.tlb#OLE Automation Object={05BFD3F1-6319-4F30-B752-C7A22889BCC4}#1.0#0; AcroPDF.dll Reference=*\G{5F226421-415D-408D-9A09-0DCD94E25B48}#1.0#0#..\..\..\..\Progra m Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\ActiveX\AcroIEHelper.dll#AcroIEHelper 1.0 Type Library Reference=*\G{05BFD3F1-6319-4F30-B752-C7A22889BCC4}#1.0#0#..\..\..\..\Progra m Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\ActiveX\AcroPDF.dll#Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Browser Control Type Library 1.0 Reference=*\G{4F878389-E58A-11D3-BEE9-00C04FA0D6BA}#1.0#0#..\..\..\..\Progra m Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\ActiveX\GbDetect.dll#GBDetect 1.0 Type Library Form=Form1.frm IconForm="Form1" Startup="Form1" ExeName32="Project1.exe" Command32="" Name="Project1" HelpContextID="0" CompatibleMode="0" MajorVer=1 MinorVer=0 RevisionVer=0 AutoIncrementVer=0 ServerSupportFiles=0 VersionCompanyName="Hansen Technologies" CompilationType=0 OptimizationType=0 FavorPentiumPro(tm)=0 CodeViewDebugInfo=0 NoAliasing=0 BoundsCheck=0 OverflowCheck=0 FlPointCheck=0 FDIVCheck=0 UnroundedFP=0 StartMode=0 Unattended=0 Retained=0 ThreadPerObject=0 MaxNumberOfThreads=1 -- Form -- VERSION 5.00 Object = "{05BFD3F1-6319-4F30-B752-C7A22889BCC4}#1.0#0"; "AcroPDF.dll" Begin VB.Form Form1 Caption = "Form1" ClientHeight = 6540 ClientLeft = 60 ClientTop = 450 ClientWidth = 7845 LinkTopic = "Form1" ScaleHeight = 6540 ScaleWidth = 7845 StartUpPosition = 3 'Windows Default Begin AcroPDFLibCtl.AcroPDF AcroPDF1 Height = 5535 Left = 360 TabIndex = 1 Top = 360 Width = 6975 _cx = 12303 _cy = 9763 End End Attribute VB_Name = "Form1" Attribute VB_GlobalNameSpace = False Attribute VB_Creatable = False Attribute VB_PredeclaredId = True Attribute VB_Exposed = False Option Explicit Private Sub Form_Load() AcroPDF1.LoadFile "HUB99.pdf" End Sub Private Sub Form_Resize() AcroPDF1.Move 0, 0, Me.ScaleWidth, Me.ScaleHeight End Sub -- Regards, Michael Cole

Out of curiosity, is this control part of the free Acrobat Reader or do you need the full-blown Acrobat product to use it?

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. -- Regards, Michael Cole

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. -- Regards, Michael Cole |
