I have an app that allows users to select multiple files and print
them regardless if they are Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or PDF files. I
had it working on my computer, but I had Acrobat 7. The rest of the
staff has Acrobat 9 and when the print, nothing happens.
So I installed Acrobat 9 and now nothing happens for me either. In
VB6, the reference I use is Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Type Library. The code
is as follows:
Public Sub AcrobatPrint(Filename As String)
Dim AcroExchApp As Acrobat.CAcroApp
Dim AcroExchAVDoc As Acrobat.CAcroAVDoc
Dim AcroExchPDDoc As Acrobat.CAcroPDDoc
Dim num As Integer
Set AcroExchApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
Set AcroExchAVDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
' Open the [strfiley] pdf file
AcroExchAVDoc.Open Filename, ""
' Get the PDDoc associated with the open AVDoc
Set AcroExchPDDoc = AcroExchAVDoc.GetPDDoc
' Get the number of pages for this pdf [and subtract one as zero
based]
num = AcroExchPDDoc.GetNumPages - 1
Call AcroExchAVDoc.PrintPages(0, num, 1, True, True)
'AcroExchApp.Show 'activate this line if you want to see the acrobat
file
AcroExchApp.Exit
AcroExchAVDoc.Close (True)
AcroExchPDDoc.Close
End Sub
It opens the file and gets the page count, but the print command is
pretty much ignored. Any ideas?
