Howdy
Has anyone got a working example of a form with a PDF being opened in an
activex container
I have a form and have done this
WITH OBJECT ::oPDFDoc := TAcroPDF():New( Self )
:nAlign := alCLIENT
:Create()
:SetFocus()
::oPDFDoc:LoadFile("C:Contacts.pdf")
END
I just get the hatching which means something when wrong somewhere...
I have made sure Adobe isn't prompting for upgrades etc when it opens
Under task manager AcroRd32.exe starts but thats it.
I can start acrord32.exe from a command line and open a pdf without any
prompts appearing
I'm sure there was an example of a PDF in the samples, but I can no longer
find any of the OCX examples, including the explorer one
Regards Nick

BTW I'm using Acrobat Reader 7

Nick!

For me, the example from XailerSamplesOCXTest1 is working fine (see
Menuitem Test|PDF).
But I have Acrobat Reader 5 on my XP machine (not 7).

The sample is at xailersamplesocxtest1
However, AFAIR Adobe changed the way the ocx has to be instantiated, and
it's dependant on the acrobat version. So, the (possibly) best way to do it
is using the webbrowser ocx and let it to load the correct acrobat
component.

Hi Nick, depending of the version of Acrobat Reader the source code you
proposed works well or not.
This is the only way to view PDFs with all Acrobat versions.
