PDF View Acrobat ActiveX

#1 Post by Piotr D »

Hi,
in my application I want display PDF files. I made function wich use Acrobat ActiveX for viewing PDF files. It work faster than run with RunShell full Adobe Reader, but made one problem: when I open an file with this function (with ActiveX) on two computers (or twice on the same workstation), it work good. The same is, when the PDF file is opened on two workstation with full Adobe Reader. But when the file (first) is opened with Adobe Reader, then running this function (with ActiveX) don't show this file: is displayed Acrobat ActiveX window without toolbar, and with empty area of PDF. Is this normal or must I make some special?
Regards
Piotr

What happens if you try 2 instances of Adobe Reader with the same PDF?
