Re: PDF Viewer ActiveX Control Registrationless Activation

Ok, well I don't know what happened then, maybe it was coincidence. Alas - no matter, unbeknownst to me, we already had other software to do what I'm trying to do, and it doesn't have the issue with later using the pdfs in Acrobat. So - it's been a learning experience. Thanks.

Re: PDF Viewer ActiveX Control Registrationless Activation

Sorry - user error, the parameter was incorrect

however, doing regserver produced no output, but the subsequent
regsvr32 pdfxcviewax.dll gives return code 0x80070005

errorlookup says that's access denied.

so - back to - do I need admin rights to do this?

Your message gives the impression that it's just viewer with this inability. However, after having spent some time with the active-x and JS example, I find it's also the Active-x. Am I missing something here?

JS is just one more way to do the job, or often only one possible way to do it when feature isn't supported directly by AX (like with forms - AX doesn't provide objects to work with form fields). You can use JS not only from AX, but also in end-user viewer through JS console (use Ctrl + J shortcut ...
