Hi,<br />
<br />
We are using the Brio reporting software and I have a command button which when clicked will tell Brio to export the report in pdf format to the c drive. I can use the Application.Shell(App, Agrs) method to open Adobe Acrobat Reader and the saved pdf file from the C drive. Hoever this requires me to hard code the path to the AcroRd32.exe and this is a problem as different users may have different Adobe Reader versions. Thus I am trying to open Acrobat Reader using OLE object and am able to open it using the following two commands :<br />
adobe = new OLEObject(&quot;AcroExch.App&quot;);<wbr /><br />
adobe.Show;<br />
<br />
However I am unable to tell it to get the test .pdf file form C:\Test.Pdf and display it.<br />
<br />
Can anybody please tell me how I can do this.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Open a pdf file from a local drive using Adobe Acrobat Reader using OLE object.

A font is a particular size, weight and style of a typeface. Each font is a matched set of type, one piece (called a "sort") for each glyph, and a typeface consists of a range of fonts that share an overall design. With the advent of digital typography, font is frequently synonymous with typeface, although the two terms do not necessarily mean the same thing. In particular, the use of "vector" or "outline" fonts means that different sizes of a typeface can be dynamically generated from one design. Each style may still be in a separate "font file" -- for instance, the typeface "Futura" may include the fonts "Futura roman", "Futura italic", "Futura bold" and "Futura extended" —- but the term "font" might be applied either to one of these alone or to the whole typeface.

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
