Cannot Create Activex Component ASP.net

[tripti_chaudhary@adobeforums.com]

Hi,

I am running the following code in an ASP.NET web application using VB.NET

Gapp= createobject(AcroExch.app)

I get the following error at runtime

System.exception Cannot create ActiveX object

I have acrobat professional installed on my machine. And the code also works fine in a windows application. I am sure this is a permissions issue. I am currently working from my local machine which runs on windows XP.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks,
Tripti

Hi Tripi,

I am having the same problem. I always get the error "ActiveX cannot create object" when I try to instantiate an "AcroExch.PDDoc" object. I have Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 installed on an NT Server. Though I am developing the site in classic ASP, I am bothered by the question - can I use its objects in an intranet ASP application? Because some say that the license forbids its use in web aplplications. Is this true? I cannot stand reading every excuciating detail of the license agreement, and would just like to clarify if *this* is a fact.

Any light shed on this matter is greatly appreciated. And, Tripi, please reply on any success acheived on this matter.. :)

Thanks a lot,

Yes, it's true. See also the Acrobat Developer FAQ.

Hi.

I have similar problem with Adobe Acrobat 7.0 in FrameMaker DLL application. I cannot create instace of CAcroPDDoc. It works with ADobre Acrobat 4.0, 5.0, 5.0.5 but not in 7.0. Is this a security problem too?

[Aandi_Inston@adobeforums.com]

That depends. Are you too trying to run Acrobat on a server? Not sure
what environments a FrameMaker DLL would be used.

No. It runs as normal DLL on client worstation. On workstation there is Adobre FrameMaker 7.1 + Adobe Acrobat 7.0 professional installed. And FrameMaker DLL is just plugin to FrameMaker. (Normal DLL that uses FDK).

So i maybe that case.
