Charlie,
I'm actually using PDF Xtra, and following the instructions they give
on their support section of their site to prevent the splash screen
appearing. I can launch Acrobat fine using Buddy API without a splash
screen, but you still see an empty application window. The whole thing is
supposed to appear as seamless as possible. I've also tried writing the
value as a number instead of a string, but it expects a string value. I
tried using WriteRegNumber too but that doesn't work
Guess I'll just have to find a workaround...
Chris
When you launch Acrobat, launch it with a /s parameter, and it will launch
without a splash screen.
c:\acrobat.exe /s d:\yourfile.pdf or just c:\acrobat.exe /s
