Server Execution Failed : CreateObject("Acroexch.app")

[Alex263242119687]

VBA program that uses Acrobat Pro to add pages bookmarks etc, has been running for YEARS. Most recent functioning setup Windows 10 with Acrobat Pro X.

Recently setup a Windows 11 PC and added Acrobat Pro DC 22 via creative cloud and server calls to create object fail.

Acrobat Pro X does not appear to be Windows 11 compatible hence the update to Acrobat Pro DC 22

Thank you in advance for any suggestions ?

Reset the reference to the "Acrobat.tlb" file. 

[Alex263242119687]

Thank you for your reply, I did re-refernce the .tlb file but routines like .addwatermark() which previously ran now throw up an error loading file.    I have googled this without a great deal of success

In the preferences of Acrobat disable the protection mode.

Thank you, I think this has solved the problem. I did take off enhanced security in case this was also related.

You say it's a server. Not sure what type. Acrobat must only be used in an interactive session, and does not work in a background task. 

[Alex263242119687]

That is the error message and presumably refers to the acrobat object.

This system has run on Windows from XP without modification

So, is it running in a normal interactive session? And does Acrobat start and run normally in this same interactive session? Did you also try disabling protected mode as suggested?

Thank you for your assistance, the Protected Mode I think was the resolution.
