Ok guys, I've been eyeing this problem since June and I must say that I'm rather sick of it. After months of dredging the web, I've come to the find multiple mocking hits implying that the answer may lay somewhere in the Experts-Exchange, where i understand that some of you have been know to roam.
Without furthur blather, I must admit that im trying to avoid paying 12 bucks for this answer, especially as I've grown suspicious that this is a straight up MS/Adobe collaboration failure... and now for the problem.
When opening PDF files from my database (Access 2003) Acrobat (7 and 8) successfully opens the pdf. When I attempt close the PDF, nothing happens and I get the following Error when i go back to access:
The operation on the Acrobat Document object failed.
The OLE Server may not be registered
To register the OLE Server, reinstall it.
Hit Ok and the PDF file closes. ANNOYING AS H#LL.
I have repaired access, and acrobat. I have reinstalled. I have checked registries. I have updated .dll's. The only help I can offer is that when opened on an IT guys computer the problem seems to be gone. I'd bet this is because he has a pro copy of adobe. Basically I'm trying to figure out if i need to convince the powers that be to put a copy of Pro on any computer using the DB (if thats whats really helped), or if there is still some way I can fix this myself. Thanks gentlefolk! You (plural) are the rule.
