Displaying PDF inside a VB Form
My eventuall goal is to display PDFs on a vb form. To begin, I'm using an example which I found in the Adobe SDK. Without going into the code immediately, upon execution, I receive the following error:
Run-time error '429':
ActiveX component can't create object
The debugger is referencing the following line of code:
Set AcroExchApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App
Any suggestions?

The object name does end with .app. The code snipet above was copied directly from Adobe SDK samples. I have not installed the entire Adobe product, just the free: Adobe Reader. I'm wondering if this makes a difference? If so, does this mean I would only be able to distribute the application to those who have the full Adobe product?

Yes, i would view it in the browser, however, I have to view it in a form, because I need to add a few listboxes and stuff at the top.
But the webbrowser control is a control that goes on your form so you can still add your listboxes and stuff.

Thank you very much vinnyd79. This will work great.
Normally that error means simply that it can't find the object you are trying to create ("AcroExch.App") and can be solved by running regsvr32 to make sure that a reference to the object is placed in the Registry. Are you sure that the objects name ends with .app extension. This is a new one for me I'm used to the objects ending with a .dll extension.
