Adobe Acrobat xx.0 Type Library

  1. Hi. First time here, so apologies if I am posting incorrectly!

I am missing something obvious. To get some VBA codes working I need a reference to Adobe Library. I do not have this. Three hours of searching the Web reveals endless sites talking about these products. Up until now I find no web site telling me how to get it. I I want and need this Library. I need Adobe Acrobat xx.0 Type Library, either version 8.0 9.0 or 10. I expect either would make my codes work. Can anyone point me in the right direction. There are lots of adobe web sites talking about these. I have not yet seen any information on how to get them . Possibly these Libraries are part of a larger Package.

Thanks ,

If you want to use the Adobe Acrobat type library, you need to have Adobe Acrobat installed, not just the free Adobe Reader. You would know if Acrobat is installed, because you would have paid for it (or are paying on an ongoing basis for your subscription). The free Reader only offers a very small subset of the API that is available for the full version of Acrobat. The type library is not a separate download, it comes bundled with the Windows version of Adobe Acrobat. You also cannot use it without Acrobat, so even if you base an application on it, and then would distribute the type library with your code, it would not work without having Adobe Acrobat installed on every computer that your application needs to run on.

You may want to review the documentation in the Acrobat SDK. You are specially looking for the IAC  (Interapplication Communication) interface: Acrobat DC SDK Documentation

Hello Karl Heinz Kremer

  Ok. Thanks for all the info.....  I thought it might be part of a larger Package.

  Can you tell me where I  can I get Adobe Acrobat please?

  Will it work on my Windows Vista ?

  Must I restrict it to only one Computer ?

  If I reinstall my Operating system will I be able to re-install Adobe Acrobat?

Thanks

Hallo Karl Heinz Kremer

Alles klar, Danke fürs Info. Ich habe, ja gedachte es konnte  einen teile von etwas großer

Wo bekomm ich Adobe Acrobat Bitte?

Wäre es funktionieren mit meinem Windows Vista

Muss es eingeschränkt um eine Computer zu benutzen

Falls ich meine Betreib System neue installieren, ist es dann möglich Adobe Acrobat auch neue zu instillieren

Danke
