The referenced component 'Acrobat' could not be found.

I download the Acrobat DC SDK from https://console.adobe.io/servicesandapis.

After download when I open C#Samples from Adobe\Acrobat DC SDK\Version 1\InterAppCommunicationSupport\C#Samples .

I got the error The referenced component 'Acrobat' could not be found.

In my computer, I have already installed the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.

Next step I go inside the unzip folder\InterAppCommunicationSupport\Headers and saw acrobat.tlb is present.

I followed https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/dotnet/netframework-2.0/tzat5yw6(v=vs.80)?redirec... this step to solve this problem.

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\RegAsm.exe "C:\Acribat DC Developer\Adobe\Acrobat DC SDK\Version 1\InterAppCommunicationSupport\Headers\acrobat.tlb"

I tried this command but not working.

RegAsm : error RA0000 : Failed to load 'C:\Acribat DC Developer\Adobe\Acrobat DC SDK\Version 1\InterAppCommunicationSupport\Headers\acrobat.tlb' because it is not a valid .NET assembly

are you a software developer for adobe reader or acrobat pro?

Acrobat is not Acrobat Reader. Don't mix them up, then buy a subscription to Acrobat. 

[Bernd Alheit]

May be that you need an installation of Adobe Acrobat for this samples.

@Bernd Alheit I have already installed the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC free version from this link https://get.adobe.com/reader/. Do I need to download any pro version or from where I need to point this Acrobat dll

[Bernd Alheit]

You need Adobe Acrobat Standard or Pro. This is not free.

[Manoj Maharana]

@Bernd Alheit So you mean to say If I download Adobe Acrobat Standard or Pro then it automatically take care for this acrobat dll 

[Bernd Alheit]

Yes, you need an Installation of Adobe Acrobat Standard or Pro.

what are you trying to do?

if you were a software developer i think you would know the difference between reader and acrobat.  if you're not a software developer why are you downloading that sdk?

[Manoj Maharana]

@kglad I am trying to open pdf from C# Application, edit that and after edit save that back to server. I am new to these pdf stuff . 

[kglad]

uninstall the sdk.  that's not needed by you.

if you want to open and read pdf's, you can use reader, but to edit, as mentioned above, you need acrobat standard or pro, Pricing & subscription options | Adobe Acrobat DC

Hmm, also server use of Acrobat is absolutely forbidden. This could be a very expensive mistake...
