    You don't download the interop, you generate it. Have you seen this article?

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/interop/how-to-generate-interop-assemblies-from-type-libraries

     

    Also, it's "Interop.Acrobat.dll". I'm assuming that's a typo.

    Hi Thom,  

     

    Installed: Acrobat Version: 2021.005.20058

     

    In CMD window, I ran tlbimp on the C:\Program Files (x86)\Acrobat\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\acrobat.tlb

     

    I removed the solution's Interoop.Acrobat.dll and used this newly created dll.  Tthere are many Reference Errors - Not Recogzized:

     

    using Acrobat;  

    IJSMessageHandler

    AcroPDDoc pdfDoc = new AcroPDDoc();

     

    Where else on my system can I find the correct "tlb".  Is there an Adobe download link ?

     

    tlbimp acrobat.tlb /out: Interop.Acrobat.dll
    Microsoft (R) .NET Framework Type Library to Assembly Converter 4.8.3928.0
    Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

    TlbImp : warning TI3019 : Interface 'CIConnectionPointContainerProxy' is marked as [dual], but does not derive from IDispatch. It will be converted as an IUnknown-derived interface.
    TlbImp : warning TI3019 : Interface 'CIConnectionPointProxy' is marked as [dual], but does not derive from IDispatch. It will be converted as an IUnknown-derived interface.
    TlbImp : Type library imported to C:\Temp\Interop.Acrobat.dll

     

    Yes - Just Type in this post.  "Also, it's "Interop.Acrobat.dll". I'm assuming that's a typo"

     

    Thx for help.

    Hmm, that's a bummer. I think maybe you are going down the wrong path.

    I would suggest a different route.

    Have you tried the SDK C# samples?  Do they work correctly?

    Have you tried to implement this using VB? Just as a test for the IAC functionality you want to use.
