Manipulate pdf from VBA, type library

[netloss]

Hi,

I'm trying to manipulate a pdf document from vba. Currently I am using
Acrobat 6 Pro, Word 2000 and Windows XP, but I didn't find any 'Acrobat
6' type library (only Acrobat 7) in the list of References available in
Word.

Thanks in advance for any help,
NL

Have you seen the answer to a nearly similar question posted 2 hours before
your own post?

If not, see the message

If that does not help write again!

I did see that post, but I didn't realize it had much to do with my
question.

So, if I (re)read Gerie Alards's post correctly, the answer to my
question is "It can't be done" with word 2000 and acrobat 6 because
word 2000 simply doesn't support that kind of thing?

If that's true , then it can't be done with word 2000 and acrobat 7
either, even though a type library for acrobat 7 is listed in the
References for word 2000?

Gerie Aldrads post also indicated that this cant' be done with
pre-office 12 i.e. can't be done with word 2002 or 2003 either, right?

Thanks, merci beaucoup,

OK, so I found the type library for acrobat 6. It's just called
'Acrobat' in the Reference list and magically changes to 'acrobat 6
type library' once you select it (not a very helpful feature).

So, I guess I misinterpreted Gerie's post reply. Which part is similar
to my (potentially solved for now) problem? Sorry if it's staring me in
the face, but I don't see it.

Thanks,

No problem.

I think you want to genetrate pdf files form WOrd document through VBA,
right?

If so, Perry's post (in reply to Gerie'S) has some code to do that.

If you are trying to manipulate an EXISTING PDF file, check Adobe's
documentation:
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/sdk/pdf/iac/IACReference.pdf
OLE Automation Objects is the section you want, though it's NOT slanted
towards VB6/VBA. Search on the Internet for stuff related to some of the
object name or methods. If you need, I've got a VB6/VBA function that will
print an existing PDF file.
