Acrobat reader version 8

[andre2007]

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,

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,

It is possible with Adobe Acrobat, not Acrobat Reader.

Thanks for your prompt response. 

It is very appreciated!

AVPageView is not an OLE model. It is a model for plug-ins written in C++. It has not changed. 

(NB if you want to write a plug-in you will need a license to deploy it, and will need paid-for Acrobat to develop it).

If you want to write for Reader, you have a very, very short list of interfaces. The Acrobat SDK can be thought of as a marketing tool to drive upgrades to paid-for Acrobat, not something for people to get for free.

AVPageView is a OLE model:

Thank you Bernd, I stand corrected. Both OLE and plug-ins have a (different) AVPageView model. However, other replies are correct; this is not in Reader. Time to upgrade!
