Thank's to all. I think I continue to use an IE instance, load the pdf as url and so with a reference to IE.Document I have my pdf document to manipulate (this time my interest is over all the printPages() function)

"Use of the ActiveX(r)Control or Netscape plug-in to display a PDF file in an external application besides Internet Explorer or Netscape. The methods used by Acrobat to display a PDF file in Netscape and Internet Explorer are intended only for use with these browsers. Use of the ActiveX Control and Netscape plug-in installed by Adobe Reader is not licensed to other applications. Development with these interfaces is not supported and no documentation is available." This is the AcroPDF.PDF class as best I can tell. There's another dispatchable 7.0 class that doesn't crash Python called AcroExch.Document but I can't find any documentation on it's methods and Open and FileOpen as used by other Acro classes don't respond.

To my knowledge, the only way to do that is to use AcroExch.App, which is only exposed by the full Acrobat product, not the Reader. As far as I know, the standalone Reader application simply cannot be controlled via COM. There is an ActiveX control, but that's a bigger deal. >but when I try to load a >document, python crashes!

Any suggestion or alternative solution will appreciate. > The Acrobat ActiveX wrapper in wxPython explodes with version 7, deep within Acrobat, where it has never done so before. The problem has not been isolated yet. The only reliable and portable way to do what you ask is to fire up the reader from a command line. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32 _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32 _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
