Problem previewing PDF with pdf.ocx

test22 · Post by **test22** » Sun Jul 20 2003

We have been using PDF.OCX on a form to preview pdf's. This has been working fine, but we find now that user's who have adobe 6 installed, then install our product are getting the following error:

"Could not find Acrobat External Window Handler"

The problem seems to be the registering of pdf.ocx in the win sys folder. If we re-register the pdf.ocx in the adobe folder all is ok again.

OK, I have the solution - pretty simple really.
PDF.OCX requires Adobe to be installed in order to work, Adobe installs and registers this file, so there is no requirement for us to install it.

Hello,

Do you mean by PDF.OCX the PDF Creator?

Thanks.
