I have a Visual Basic application that displays PDF files using the AxAcroPDF object. This application was developed using documentation/examples from the Adobe Acrobat 8.1 Software Development Kit. The application contains references to the Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Browser Control Type Library 1.0 and the Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Type Library.

Currently, PC's running this application have Adobe Reader 8.1 installed. Can I install and run this application (without compatibility errors) on a PC that has Adobe Reader 9 installed? Or, will I first have to incorporate Adobe Acrobat 9 SDK?

Is there any documentation which addresses capatibility issues between Adobe Acrobat SDK and Adobe Reader versions?

Thanks for any help you may provide.

I did find some compatibility documentation at:
 <http://www.adobe.com/devnet/reader/articles/reader_compatibility.html>

None of the items in this documentation appeared to relate to the type of PDF viewing I have incorporated into my Visual Basic Application.

I also did not see anything about having to change references to type libraries when moving to Adobe Reader 9. It would be great if my application was compatible with both Reader 8 and Reader 9.

Again, any insight on this subject would be appreciated.
