ActiveX cannot create Object of Acrobat Professional in ASP.NET on a 64 bit Server 2008
I am trying to create an Acrobat Object through ASP.NET application to highlight a string within PDF Document. But we are geting the error "ActiveX cannot create object" while running the following code.
gApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App
Adobe Acrobat X Pro is installed on the server machine.
The above error does not happen on every Server Machine. It only happens on those servers that have window server 2008 64 bit installed.
I have also verified the following entries in the registry and all of them exist.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch
I have also given Network Service Rights to AcroExch.PDBookmark, AcroExch.Matrix, AcroDistx and AcroBroker through DCOM Config Interface.
Every thing is working fine on Window Server 2003 server but same settings do not work for Window Server 2008 - 64 bit.
Please let me know if i need to change few settings on Window Server 2008 64 bit to create the acrobat object through ASP.NET Application.
I would also like to mention that the above line of code works fine on 64 bit Server if it is a Desktop Application.

We also changed few other security rights as well so not sure if it worked due to this change or change in security rights.
So exactly what is the solution to this issue? I have a DLL written in C++ - CreateDisPatch(Pdf.PdfDist iller) works find on 32bit os, but does not work on Windows Server 2008.
Greetings.
