DDE command DocSaveAs not working with 2022 release

Hi,

we have an application that connects to Adobe Acrobat via DDE. The connect to the DDE server is fine and also DocOpen works without problems. But we send DocSaveAs it fails on newly installed Acrobat 2022. The same application works fine with Acrobat 2015.

Do you know about any changes on the DDE commands?

Thanks for your help.

Maybe you have protected mode ON. Since the job of protected mode is to stop files from being written, it must block this API.

Thanks for the hint, but I checked and protected mode is off.

Hi,
I still have the problem with the DocSaveAs on a customers machine with Adobe Acrobat Pro (Continuous Release 64Bit Version 2022.003.20310). We tried to switch of proteced mode, but no success.
When using same DDE commands (DocOpen and then DocSaveAs) on my machine with Adobe Acrobat Pro (Continuous Release 64Bit Version 2023.008.20470) everything works fine.
Is there anybody, who has the same problems or can help?
