FillFormCS sample and Acrobat 9.0 Pro

[Larry_Fluckiger@adobeforums.com]

I have an application that is similar to the SDK sample application FillFormCS. I just upgraded from Acrobat 7.0 Pro to Acrobat 9.0 Pro. Both my app and FillFormCS worked with 7.0, but with 9.0 they give me the same exception: "No document is currently open in the Acrobat Viewer".

The problem seems to be connected to the avDoc's Open() and OpeninWindowEx() functions. The document never really seems to get opened.

Can anyone tell me if FillFormCS is supposed to run correctly with Acrobat 9.0 Pro when built from Visual Studio 2008? Visual Studio upgraded the solution and source files automatically. The references to the type library and ActiveX control seem fine.

If the problem is with VS 2008, can anyone suggest what I could do since VS 2005 isn't an option?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

I just tried FillFormCS on a third computer, this time built with Visual Studio 2005. Same problem.

Can anyone successfully run the FillFormCS sample that comes with Acrobat 9.0 SDK? It is found in ...\Adobe\Acrobat 9 SDK\Version 1\InterAppCommunicationSupport\C#Samples\FillFormC S.

Is the InterAppCommunications still supported. Has it been replaced with something better?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

I don't have VS 2008 to test with but it works as expected with VS 2005 and Acrobat 9.

IAC is still supported.

The only thing I can think of is that the path to the file is not correct, have you tried hard coding the path ?

I get the same exact error message. Here is a sample of my C# code.

CAcroPDDoc pdDoc = null;
CAcroAVDoc avDoc = null;

// create an PDDoc object
avDoc = new AcroAVDocClass();
pdDoc = new AcroPDDocClass();

// Open the PDF
avDoc.Open("pdf form");

pdDoc = (CAcroPDDoc)avDoc.GetPDDoc();

IAFormApp formApp = new AFormAppClass();

IFields myFields = (IFields)formApp.Fields;

IEnumerator myEnumerator = myFields.GetEnumerator();

This is the same code that I have been using for a year now. It works fine with Acrobat 7.0 and Acrobat 8.1 but it fails if someone updates to Acrobat 8.1.3. The line of code that is the problem is
IFields myFields = (IFields)formApp.Fields; and it give this error
"No document is currently open in the Acrobat Viewer". Any help will be appreciated.
