It is tricky working with COM type libraries, especially when GUIDs change. &nbsp;A lot of times it is better to use late-bound class instances, so that you don't have problems, since the prog IDs don't usually change as much as GUIDs do.<br />

The type library should be on the COM components tab (Adobe PDF Reader).<br />

I have a VB 2005 WinForm app. In it I had an embedded Adobe Reader 8.1.1. It was working fine. Recently my client's computers automatically upgraded to Acrobat Reader 8.1.2 and then my app stopped working. I think I have to add Adobe Reader 8.1.2 to my app so that it has the same version as what's installed on my client's pc's. The problem is that I can't remember how I added it in the first place. I updated to Acrobat Reader 8.1.2, but when I right-click on the Toolbox and click on &quot;Choose Items&quot;, I can't see it in either the &quot;.NET Framework Components&quot; or &quot;COM Components&quot; list. Can anyone remind me how to add it to a WinForm app again? Thanks

Embedded Adobe Reader

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
