Hi all,

have a question about the usage of the ActiveX Browser Control of Adobe Reader (AcroPDF.dll). May it be used for free in my commercial software to display PDF documents withing my tool?

I read the Acrobat delevoper FAQ and a was a little bit confused:
Page 16: "...Use of Active X control ... installed by Adobe Reader is not licensed to other applications." Sounds clear.

But then on page 24: "If you are using simplified browser controls in your application..."
Why use it, if it is not allowed?

Who can clear this up?

Thanks in advance!

Ralf.

Interesting conflict. I am not a lawyer and don't speak for Adobe but
it looks to me as if this text was not updated to reflect the new,
supported, control in Acrobat/Reader 7.
