using Adobe pdf ActiveX control

I am using the Adobe ActiveX control inside a Windows form. After I start the app, I start Acrobat and close it. Now the ActiveX control inside my app is gone!!! I tried the same scenario with internet browser. Start IE, start Acrobat, and kill the Acrobat. The pdf contents within IE is gone! But after I click refresh on IE, it comes back. It looks like it reloads Acrobat since I see the startup flash screen. It seems to me that the Adobe ActiveX control is an exe control. I did see the process in task manager. After I close Acrobat, it is gone. Therefore, my app won't have anything inside. Question: I use Adobe ActiveX control through interop wrapper in C#. Even within C++ or VB, how are you going to tell the ActiveX control is gone? How can you "restart" the control just like the refresh function in IE does? Thanks very very much for your help.

PDF.OCX is just an interface to Acrobat. By the way, it isn't intended or supported as a developer tool. The Acrobat SDK has 10,000 pages or so of supported interfaces (about 20 pages for Acrobat Reader). ---------------------------------------- Aandi Inston quite@dial.pipex.com http://www.quite.com Please support usenet!

While it is true that using PDF.OCX in an app is not supported, Pete also stated: > I tried the same scenario with internet browser. Start IE, start > Acrobat, and kill the Acrobat.

Viewing PDF's in IE is supported and the problem occurs there as well. Adobe recognized this problem and attempted to fix it in Reader 6. Unfortunately the fix was to display a warning to the user indicating that closing Reader will cause problems for the PDF that is open in IE. I don't consider this to be a fix, just a Bandaid. We have also had that warning show up at times when it should not have.
