We're creating a PDFDistiller object (ACRODISTXLib.PdfDistiller) in a VB6 project using Acrobat Pro 6 and at the line in the code that creates the new object (Set AcroDistiller = New ACRODISTXLib.PdfDistiller), if the user is logged in as non-admin, we get: Error 429, ActiveX component can't create object.

I've tried CreateObject with the same error and GetObject pointing to the acrodist.exe and received a different error (432, Filename or classname not found during automation operation).

If the user is logged in as admin it works fine. If we use Acrobat 7 or 8, it works fine with both user types.

We've compared registry GUIDs for the class object and both user types have identical reg settings.

Does anybody have any idea how to correct this?

Thanks,
Mike Grice
