Interop files are glue needed by .Net apps. They sit between the .Net app and a COM class. They do nothing by themselves. Last time I looked, Delphi isn't a .Net app so this is neither necessary nor useful to you, with or without Acrobat.

You need to be very clear that to develop with this you need a license for Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Standard. You CANNOT use the free Acrobat Reader. You CANNOT download a development tool separately, Acrobat is what does the job. The type library just starts Acrobat and uses it.

Then to further clarify, the interop acrobat dll from nuget (NuGet Gallery | Interop.Acrobat 1.0.1 ). Do you have any idea on what this dll does?

What version of Acrobat Pro do you have? Where did you ”come across” the type library?

I was using Acrobat DC (2015) trial version(able to convert PDF Form to xml file). After which i uninstalled it to try it out with Adobe Reader.

I was told it was possible to just use the interop.acrobat.dll from nuget and code it with c#. However, I would like to code using delphi.

I found the acrobat.tlb file when i downloaded the Acrobat DC SDK (http://download.macromedia.com/pub/developer/acrobat/sdk/dc/sdkDC_v1_win.zip ) under the InterAppCommunicationSupport\Headers
