Is there a way to use AcroPDF.dll in VS2010 without Reader-option "Display PDF in browser"?

Hi there,

 

I have VS2010 (10.0.40219.1 SP1Rel) installed on a Windows-XP machine, along with the Acrobat Reader X (Version 10.0.1). When I try to call the AcroPDF.dll without setting the Internet-Option "Display PDF in browser" in my Acrobat Reader, I get an invalidOperationException and a HRESULT E_Fail-error.

 

Changing back the option in Adobe Reader will fix this immediatly and the DLL works fine. But I don't want this option to be set and so I'm looking for another way to get this running.

 

Thank you in advance and kind regards

Thomas Hellmann

    Are you following the documentation in the Acrobat SDK, or have you just dived in with  DLL you found? If the latter, I'd recommend the former.

    I followed your recommendation and downloaded the Acrobat SDK. I found a sample "AcrobatActiveXVB", which does almost the same as my application. I can open the sample project, but when I try to open form1.vb, I get the same error. With the option "Display PDF in browser" checked, I can open form1.vb and run the sample. My Windows is 32 Bit.

     

    best regards

    Did you update Adobe Reader X?

    I removed the reader 10.0.1 and updadet to the latest version, but still have the same problem. When I downgraded to reader8, everything runs properly. But in reader8 the option "Display PDF in browser" is preset und can not be changed. This post (http://forums.adobe.com/message/1920206) refers to the same problem, but unfortunatly the author came up with the same solution: setting that option.

     

    best regards
