Where can I download the Acrobat Reader 8.  I need the .dll from the version 8. 

 

There is some method that were removed in version 10 (I think). 

 

Thanks in advance,

    It is possible with Adobe Acrobat, not Acrobat Reader.

    What exactly do you believe to be removed? Even if you could download it, you cannot mix and match DLL and app from different releases. Any DLLs with Acrobat Reader just talk to the main app, which does the work.

    It's actually GetPageNum in the AVPageView.  If you look in the SDK 8.0  it's showing a model that has lots of methods...

     

    And maybe to give you a better context, I'm building a simple file (pdf) manager in vb.net (Winforms). 

    In the form, you click a reference to a pdf file that get embedded into an AxAcropdf object. At this point, the only thing missing is a method that can get the page number where the user is. (The only thing available is goto Next (or previous).

     

    So I'm looking for a library that would give me the possibility to do so. (get the page number)

     

    P.S: Do not get confused with page count!  (I want current page number).

     

    Thanks again in advance,
