Hi,

Anyone with a sample code on how to open a PDF document using PDF.ocx and
printing the document using PrintAll

Thanks
Dib

Adobe says the following at http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/cd16.htm

"This ActiveX control is for use only with Internet Explorer; it is not a
full-featured, robust ActiveX control that enables other applications to
display PDF files."

However, the following does seem to work:

Add the control to your form. For the discussion that follows, name it
ctlPDFControl.
To load a document into it, use Me.ctlPDFControl.src = "C:\My
Documents\MyFile.PDF"
To print it, use Me.ctlPDFControl.printAll

This is what I am using now and it is not working properly.
it used to print when I first created it , and now it does not execpt when I
use PrintWithDialog, which opens the printer dialog and the code continues
to run. Is there a way to stop the code until the user click Ok button on
the print dialog. or is there a different soulation for this

Thanks
Dib

My advice would be to search the Support area at Adobe.
