The AcroPDF.PDF Class is no longer accessible from VisualBasic6 after update 11.0.0.7.

[Guest]

After upgrading to 11.0.0.7 of Acrobat Reader it is no longer possible to get an instance of the AcroPDF.PDF Control in Visual Basic 6

Private PDFExt As VBControlExtender

Set PDFExt = Me.Controls.Add("AcroPDF.PDF", "PDF")

This worked fine with the 11.0.0.6 Version of the Reader!

Is there any solution available?

Thanks in advance

Possible temporary SOLUTION (only for view pdf) for DELPHI users (waiting for a fix from Adobe).

step 1) remove TAcroPDF from your form.

step 2) put TWebBrowser component in your form.

step 3) replace the line of code "AcroPDF.src:=Filename" with the line TWebBrowser1.Navigate('file:///'+Filename)".

It work fine (tested with Delphi2007 in both Win32/Win64 environment with a variety of default browser).

With VB6 also works fine using the WebBrowser control. Thank you.

We too have had issues since upgrading our desktops to 11.0.0.7, I have had to uninstall it and re-install 11.0.0.6 on all of our desktops to enable our programs to work.

As this worked before this update surely it is an Adobe issue.

solution for Delphi users.

copy  oleCtrls.pas to oleCtrlsAdobe.pas.

then remove from TOleControl:

- IServiceProvider
- function QueryService(...): HResult; stdcall;
- function TOleControl.QueryService(..): HResult;

the definition looks as follows:

  TOleControl = class (Twin Control, IUnknown, IOleClientSite,
     IOleControlSite, IOleInPlaceSite, IOleInPlaceFrame, IDispatch,
     IPropertyNotifySink, ISimpleFrameSite)

then replace in the unit AcroPDFLib_TLB.pas OleCtrls by OleCtrlsAdobe.

Worked perfectly! Please reply too in Re: update 11.0.07 causes ActiveX crash on Delphi applications

Thanks for the great help!!!!

Thank You.

Successful fix in D2007 and XE2

Hello there. I'm afraid that when I do precisely what you say, I get an error saying that oleCtrlsAdobe.dcu cannot be found when I compile. Sorry for the noobish question (I am not totally familiar with Delphi yet), but are there any (probably obvious!) steps which you did not include?

Thanks,

Andy

try this, it's the same but another way

1) open AcroPDFLib_TLB.pas

2) add this

TAcroPDF = class(TOleControl)

...

protected

procedure CreateControl;...

//ADDED

function QueryInterface(const IID: TGUID; out Obj): HResult; override;

//ADDED

3) Added this in the implementation section:

//ADDED

function TAcroPDF.QueryInterface(const IID: TGUID; out Obj): HResult;

begin

if IID = IServiceProvider then

Result := E_NOINTERFACE

else

inherited;

end;

//ADDED

4) re-build the package you are using and re-install it in the IDE

5) you should be good to go

Thanks Singulus1 ... that solution worked perfectly for us, just have to go through the release process to get it out there now

[Guest]

FYI

PDF applications built with VB6 fail to work with 11.0.07

[Guest]

Anyone have any solution for VB6.

Yes some ideas have been use Interop via .Net mentioned earlier, use the Microsoft Internet component which allows you to embed a web browser, use OLE Object or buy a third party ocx pdf reader.

VB6 Solution: Add a "Microsoft WebBrowser control" (ieframe.dll) to a form and use its Navigate method to open the PDF file.

Examples:

WebBrowser1.Navigate txtFile.Text

WebBrowser1.Navigate Filename

[lrosenth]

This has been discussed before - VB6 hasn't been supported for a LONG time...

[Guest]

Hi all,

Any solution from Adobe?? I see..... all developers and programmers used their own solution, but nothing from adobe itself?

Adobe had the best file format ever existed, then they turned it to a bunch of rubbish... the PDF reader was 12kb in early times.. now?? I even dont know... full filled with rubbish which less than 5% of daily users find useful.

I've been thinking to shout it out.. but always leaving my comments to later... but now?!!! After "legacy" Applications which used PDF for years, almost 2 decades, just stop working and there is no solution from adobe? seriously??

I'm commissioned to test environment for a company with about 20.000 users upgrading to windows 10.. using theirs very old VB6 application (which is running just FINE) but the solution of using a webbrowser object to open/read PDFs did not work with windows 10 and the latest PDF reader!!!

My solution to them??? EASY.. CONVERT ALL 1.000.000 DOCUMENTS FROM PDF TO XPS Documents.. XPS is now the easiest format to create.. its HYPER-FAST reader is "native and free" within the windows xx also we can open/read it via web browsers AND AND AND not full of "greebles"!!!

It will take 1 week to convert all docs, and no programmatic needed.. cost effective and no more headache in the future.

So, dear Adobe... bye bye.. for one of largest companies in that country. They will never hear about PDF again.

I will revisit this thread in a week or two to see if adobe takes any actions.. but I dont believe they will...

For all of you developers/programmers out there, I wish the best of luck!

Regards,

MBS the Ex-PDF user

I am a newbie, using excel 2013 and have created a few basic programs to read pdf files from our network within a userform, now i am unable as to form will not even load without error.  So i understand the new release is a 64bit application, so my question is how do i load the adobe pdf control into my userform

thanks in advance
