Automation Error: Library not registered

Hello,

For background, the issue resolve around a function that builds a 50+ page policy. It uses Adobe Acrobat DC to open and combine multiple PDF document objects. The function works perfectly in the beginning then starts to break after an update. We updated our Adobe Reader V11 to Adobe Reader DC. After this occurrence, I was told that all references to Adobe Reader 11 was deleted.

Can someone point me in the right direction in fixing this issue?

Dim AcroApp As Acrobat.CAcroApp


Dim Part1Document As Acrobat.CAcroPDDoc

Set Part1Document = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc") 'Code Breaks here

I am also curious as to why Adobe Reader being updated breaks the code when I am using Acrobat?

in the vba editor on the menu bar at the top, select tools>references. You will probably see one that is ticked and noted as 'missing'. Make a note of the name, untick it and scroll down until you find the equivalent and tick that one instead. close the reference/tools. Job done

Adobe have made of habit of changing how you need to reference their products over the years.

If you are old enough, before access had an option to export to pdf directly it was a nightmare, as every update forced you to change settings or code to accommodate it.
