Can you try the following:

1. Make sure NeoBook is closed.

2. Select the "Run" command from the Windows Start menu.

3. Enter the following command:

regsvr32.exe "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroPDF.dll"

4. Click OK.

5. Start NeoBook and test the PDF plug-in.

Hatte das gleiche Problem,auch der Fehlercode war derselbe.
Adobe beide Versionen deinstalliert-->Acrobat Reader installiert(neuste Version)
und funktioniert.

Google Translation:
Had the same problem, and the error code was the same. Adobe uninstall both versions -> Acrobat Reader installed (latest version)
and works.

Viel Glück

Has anyone had a chance to try out the solution posted above?

Only for information...
I've talked to several users of some of my programs that use the PDF plugin and none of them have had problems.
I have also tested on several computers with Windows XP (32 bit), Windows 7 (32/64bit) and Windows 8.1 (64bit) and I could not reproduce the problem.

Sorry about that.

Yes Dave, i did the fix of the link, but same error. I also did deinstall and install Adobe reader. Same error...

Maybe something with my windows setup...

Thanks for the information Jose. That's very helpful.

Cipolla: The error message you received when attempting to manually register the AcroPDF.dll essentially means "ACCESS DENIED." The security configuration of your PC is preventing you from registering the DLL. Did you try running the command as an administrator?

1. Click on Start and type cmd in the Search box
2. Right-click on the Command Line search result and select Run as Administrator
3. Click Continue
4. In the Command Line window enter the following:

regsvr32.exe "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroPDF.dll"

I've always had problems with Adobe Reader or any Adobe Product for that matter.
I have so many clients that us different PDF readers.
I use an alternative way to view them in Neobook via a WebBrowser object and use Action Command SetObjectFileName.
This uses the Users default browser pdf plugin and if one does not exist then it will redirect advising User to install a PDF browser plugin or to download and save the PDF.

Code: Select all

SetObjectFileName "WebBrowser1" "[PubDir]NeoBook.pdf"

I know it's not a fix but it works great for those many PDF readers out there.

That's a good workaround. Thanks for sharing it with us.
