Correct answer Karl Heinz Kremer

You need a reference to the correct type library. See here for more information: Where can I get the AFormAutLib.dll?

Then, you need to fix your code, it seems you are mixing up the parameters for Dim and CreateObject: 

  1. Dim AFORMAUT As AFORMAUTLib.AFormApp  
  2.     Set AFORMAUT = CreateObject("AFormAut.App")

Try a REPAIR on Acrobat now. if not enough, try having Acrobat already running when using your code. If that still doesn’t help please tell us your code and error.

Adobe no longer supports Acrobat 9.

However make sure you that you have Acrobat Professional (or Standard) installed and not just Reader.
