No redistributable for acrobat SDK?

Jun 14, 2012 7:59 AM

I'm creating a Microsoft Access program that uses AcroExchApp to view and print pdf's.  I realize I could do this from the command line, but using the SDK is more desirable for several reasons:

 

1. Using the command line to print multiple pdfs flashes the viewer on the screen each time it's loaded.  Looks bizarre

2. Using the command line leaves the reader window open after printing

 

At any rate, I wish to distribute the compiled Access file to other computers.  Is there no way to install a run-time library for the AcroExchApp object so it could run on the other machines?  Would I have to purchase a full Acrobat license for each machine just so I can run my program?

 

Thanks

    That is correct.  You need to purchase and install a copy of Adobe Acrobat on each machine that will run your program.

    Does it have to be acrobat pro or is standard sufficient?

    Depends on what your application does.  If it only uses features that are present in Standard, then Standard is fine.

    I'm only using the AcroExchApp and acroexchDoc.  Are they part of Standard?
