pdf viewer - adobe 9

[spinkung]

Hi

not sure if this is possible but thought i'd ask.

I have a PDF viewer on a form which i load pdf's into via a listbox selection. The listbox source is from pdf's in a folder.

When the pdf opens in the viewer i get all the adobe menu options i.e. save, zoom, sign, comment etc.

i want to be able to add comments. problem is the comments icons are greyed out.

i then want to be able to save the file. however i don't want a prompt to pop up but just overwrite the existing file.

Are these possible?

Thanks

hi

following on from this. does anyone know how to unload a pdf.

i'm using this to load in a pdf...

    AcroPDF9.LoadFile (invoicePath & list_invoices.Column(0))
    AcroPDF9.setShowToolbar (False)
    AcroPDF9.setView ("Width")

..but i want to be able to unload too??

What would be the trigger to unload the pdf? Assuming you can do it, you would find the method in the Adobe documentation. Whenever you are trying to automate an application, you need to search THAT application's documentation for the exposed methods/properties. Access documentation can't help you. It knows nothing about Adobe and so unless an Access developer has actually automated Adobe, he isn't likely to be able to help you. Try posting the question to an Adobe forum if you don't get an answer in a day or so.
