Hi All

We are in the process of migrating our application from PowerBuilder 11.5 to PowerBuilder 2017 64 bit. We have an OLE ActiveX Control on a window using "Adobe Acrobat DC Browser Control Implementation" Ole Object. Inprocserver32= …\Adobe\Acrobat\Activex\AcroPdfIncl.Dll

The PDF file is loaded with command LoadFile("FileName")

Loadfile command is crashing in 64 bit version. Is there some way to insert a 64 bit Adobe OLE on a window so that a PDF file can be previewed within PowerBuilder application or some other workaround to achieve the similar functionality?

 

Regards

Vinay

Hi

I solved the problem by replacing the Adobe OLE Control with Microsoft Web Browser Ole Control.

 

Thanks

Vinay

Hi Vinay;

   From the PB2017Rx help  ... "You can use OLE and ActiveX components in your applications, but you must use the 32-bit versions in the PowerBuilder Classic IDE. At runtime you must have the correct 64-bit ActveX components installed".

   I am not sure though if visual controls are supported. I believe that the PB Help is referring to non-visual OLE objects. Its not clear in the help but, I see to remember that there is a restriction on 64bit embedded controls.

Regards ... Chris
