Launching Adobe in MFC application.

Hi experts,

I have an MFC application that opens an adobe file when a certain button is pressed. Currently, this Adobe file is opened with whichever version of Adobe (7, 8, or 9) installed on the users' PC. Therefore, the result is not consistent. I would like to have the MFC application opens the Adobe file using a single version of Adobe regardless of the version installed. My questions are: Is this possible? and If it is, which Adobe dll's do I need to include in the application for deployment? I am thinking of placing the Adobe dll's at the application folder rather than at the System folder since I do not wish to override the current Adobe version.

Many thanks in advance.

In short: You can't. Please see the Adobe's statement about redistribution, inb http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/pdfs/Reader_Player_AIR_WWEULA-Combined-20080204_1313.pdf - the relevant part is attached below:

Thanks mrwat99 and jkr very much for your prompt response. In research for this, I notice that there is a product called Quick pdf libraries. I am looking into this to see if these can be used to include in the application to view, save, and email pdf file. Thanks again for your help.
