How to open Acrobat Pro DC in Scan Mode from VB.NET

the SDK is free to download. There are no tools that I can think of.

I now have DC installed on my machine so I can actively work with it.  I see that the menu items are gone and I understand that my code as it worked with X will not work with DC.  I am trying now to open DC from my application so that it is connected to my application so when a file is scanned through the DC interface it will be stored in my system.  Does this make sense?  

This was my code:

           Dim sPDFFileName As String = Path.GetTempFileName.ToLower.Replace(".tmp", ".pdf")

            AdobeAcro.MenuItemExecute("Scan")

            AVDoc = CType(AdobeAcro.GetActiveDoc, Acrobat.AcroAVDoc)

            If AVDoc IsNot Nothing Then

                If AVDoc.IsValid Then

                    'continue

                    PDDoc = CType(AVDoc.GetPDDoc, Acrobat.AcroPDDoc)

                    m_PDFPageNumbers = PDDoc.GetNumPages

                    PDDoc.Save(1, sPDFFileName)

                    PDDoc.Close()

                End If

                AVDoc.Close(CInt(True))

            End If

            AdobeAcro.CloseAllDocs()

            AdobeAcro.Exit()

            KillAdobe()

            If File.Exists(sPDFFileName) Then

                'open it for editing

                Dim pInfo As New ProcessStartInfo

                'Start the correct version of acrobat from the existing path

                pInfo.FileName = StartUp.DetectAcrobat

                pInfo.Arguments = "/A ""zoom=45&pagemode=thumbs"" """ & sPDFFileName & """"

                launchProcess = New Process

                launchProcess = Process.Start(pInfo)

                launchProcess.WaitForExit()

                ' Other processing before returning sPDFFileName to the calling object.

            End If

So, I wonder if I can open DC from my application in a similar fashion so whatever is scanned is returned to my application.

Thank you,

The Acrobat SDK contains supported interfaces. There isn’t one to do this. Notice that you were executing a menu item - it was never a special function to enter scanning from your app. There just happened to be a Scan menu item, which you found useful. Now notice most menus are removed in DC. That’s why it no longer works.

So the company has moved to DC from X and our application with X opened Adobe ready to scan.  Are you saying that this method was never intended to be included in X or that it was an accident? 

Is there documentation on how to code for DC in .NET code?  Would you send me more information so I can work on a solution?

Thank  you,

Pretty sure no. It’s just sheer luck that there was once a menu item that entered scan mode.

Items removed from the menu have no replacement.
