Error coding for AVDoc.Open()

[TerraEarth]

When Utilizing AVDoc.Open(), it returns a Boolean depending on whether a pdf document was able to be opened or not.


When the PDF document is not opened it returns False but this also pops up from Adobe:



I was wondering if there was a way to error-code this popup away via, because the program essentially freezes until I first go to my Adobe window and then exit out of the above adobe error prompt. Any suggestions? Below is what my code for this looks like currently:

This utilizes the Adobe Acrobat 10.0 Type Library in Access 2016:

Sub

Dim Condition As Boolean
Dim PDFDirectory As String

Condition = False
PDFDirectory = "C:\Users\Me\ADirectory\ABlankPDFFile.pdf"
Set AcrobatApplication = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
Set AVDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")

While (Not Condition)
 If AVDoc.Open(MasterPDF, "") Then
 'Do whatever I need to do
 Condition = True
 Else
      If MsgBox("Master PDF not Found, please make sure that the PDF -NameOfPdf- is in the right directory: ___w/e the directory is____"  vbOkCancel) = vbCancel Then
 Exit Sub
 Else
Wend

End Sub

Not familiar with that type library, but when using automation with Excel, the Excel library has a property of the application object that turns off screen updating and system prompts for saving or not. Did you search the pdf library for any similar property or method?

This actually isn't a excel automation, this is a modified clip of code straight from my accdb. If you're talking about whether or not I have the PDF set to display (i.e. Show), etc. I have all of those disabled already, my main issue is when the PDF directory is wrong or there's no file in the designated directory to open a PDF from. This causes a popup to come up from a different window (adobe acrobat) and requires users to switch windows and 'ok' the error message before the access vba can kick off again.

I understood that. I was only using Excel as an example and asking if you looked for similar properties for Adobe.

Ah, I see. Yes I have looked for similar properties in Adobe but was unable to find one. There are similar features with hiding processes from the user but I am hoping to find something to expedite the switching between tabs issue. If I was the one using the database, I personally would never have any issues with this but I can imagine plenty of people would when using this. I am still looking for methods to resolve this issue, as this isn't the worst problem so I did put it on the back-burner but I do plan on poring through the documentation more thoroughly to see if there's a solution included in the library or if there's perhaps some other workaround.

I guess you're using the SDK (specifically IAC API)? I don't have it or AcrobatExchange installed, otherwise I'd take a look for you. Pretty sure it doesn't work with Reader, which you no doubt know. The only thing that looks a bit suspect is that you don't seem to have declared AcrobatApplication or AVDoc. Maybe you have them at the module level.
Good luck!
