Visual Basic :: Open PDF Through Visual Basic Only Works When Acrobat Prof 8.0 Instance Is Open

Error Late-binding Creating Acrobat &"AcroExch.PDDoc&" (registrated Acrobat Prof 8.0)
Hi all,

Something strange happens to my code (it used to work correctly in the past).

When executing next sample code (with late-binding)

Code:
Dim ac_App As Object
Dim ac_PDDoc As Object

Set ac_App = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
Set ac_PDDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")

ac_PDDoc.Open "c: emp.pdf"

I get error message:

Quote:

Run-time error '-2147024875 (80070015)'
Automation error

When an instance of Acrobat Pro 8 is running, I can create with late-binding the "AcroExch.AVDoc" and "AcroExch.App". But no PDDoc.
I've looked in the registry, and this looks like the attachment.
Can anyone please help me. It's driving me nuts!

Thanks in advance!

How To Open A File From Withing Visual Basic
Hi,

One of the tables in my SQL database has a field that holds file paths. My Visual Basic application is supposed to open these files with the click of a button (easier said than done). Instead of using a Web or OLE control, I would like to open the file in a separate window; for example, when selecting the file "Test.doc", and clicking the button, Microsoft Word is supposed to pop up displaying that file. The "Shell" function does that, but looks like I first have to figure out what type of application the file belongs to (by its extension), before I can call it, since it can only open executable files.
I was wondering if there is another function out there that would do the whole job for me (I know... I am so lazy, but my application is getting so complex that I would like to make the most out of any reusable code out there).

Thanks,

Trying To Use Visual Basic 6 To Open A Microsoft Access .mdb
I have no idea where to start, I just need a general idea if this is
possible:

Originally I created a vb app that uses the WebBrowser component to
view excel files, which seemed to work fine, but does not give me the
control over the user scrolling around the spreadsheet once it was
loaded.

I then tried using the OLE object to open an embedded excel form and
that looks terribly ugly when you try to edit any of the fields.

So now I'm on to trying to open an access application within my vb
application. Is this even possible? and if so what component do I
need to import inorder to open the *.mdb file? I've searched and
searched but to no avail it looks like no one has tried doing this
(perhaps there are better ways).

Please help, I'm running out of time... Thanks in advance,

Perry

Outlook Visual Basic Editor Won't Open
Hey guys,

Wierd problem. I'm trying to open my outlook visual basic editor. I go to tools, macros, and visual basic editor. The problem is, when I click on it,, nothing happens. The editor refuses to pop up. The same thing happens when I try to click on my security settings. Nothing happens. Seemingly everything else is working fine, but the macro, and security sections for some reason are not working. I was thinking a registry key might have been corrupted or something like that??? I'm at a loss. Can anyone help?? Thanks!

How To Open PDF Files Via Visual Basic Macro Code ?
How can I code a Macro in Excel to search in a preset directory and pull out, aka open/run
a certain Adobe Acrobat .pdf file automatically?

Is this even possible to code in Excel Macro or is it out of its scope of what Excel VB code can do?

Right now I have a very repetitive task where depending on the value of a certain field in Excel I have to search for the right/corresponding .pdf file and open it up do work in the .pdf as well as the Excel worksheet... I have to do like hundreds of this....

So is there a quick way to code in Excel that a certain value will open a certain file named .pdf acrobat file? Can other programs/files be called upon and ran/started/opened from within Excel Macro?

Thanks

Finding Text In Open Files Using Visual Basic
Hi all, I hope someone can help me with this.

Basically, I have two text files (which I will call for arguments sake file1 and file2).   File1 contains a long list of registry keys extracted using regedit and file2 contains a similar set of keys, also extracted using regedit but from a different machine.

What I need to be able to do is compare the two data files to see what keys are different between the two machines. At present I read in the two data files and write them to a database, but this is extremely slow and indeed crashes when trying to compare two HKLM subsets(which is not surprising really).  I have come up with an idea of reading in the first file and each time it comes to a new key checking to see if it exists in the second file, i.e

Read in Key 1
    Does it exist in File 2?
         If no, then write error log
    Otherwise continue
Read in Key 2

etc, etc.

What I need to know is if there is any way of finding a particular text string in an open file.   At present I am using the standard VB Filehandling functions, (open "filename.txt" for output as #1 etc), but if there is a better way then I would appreciate it.

Any help or advice would be useful.

Thanks

Need Help To Open Acrobat From Vb 6
Hi all,

I've installed Adobe acrobat in my system. my application will launch Acrobat using Shell command.[vbcode]shell "C:program filesAdobeAcrobatAcrobat.exe"[/vbcode]I created a package of my application and installed on another system. In that system my application refused to open Acrobat. Since the acrobat is installed on different location. i.e., in my system it was installed in "C:program files". But In remote system it was installed in "F:program files". How can I find the location where acrobat is installed through code. So that i can run my applcation on both the systems without any problems.

Or is there any other way to get rid of this problem?

How To Control Acrobat With Visual Basic
Hi all,

I found a way of controling Acrobat or any Adobe application using Visual Basic (VB) inside Excel. I found the trick on the Adobe developper forum and used the Software Development Kit (SDK) examples. You can find all the SDK for the Adobe products on this site;

http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/sdks.jsp

... now here is the source code for getting a Link using Later Binding to the Acrobat document...

Dim AcrobatLink As Object

On Error Resume Next

Set AcrobatLink = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")

It is that simple...

Take care,
