PDF documents,open and load issue - pdf

We load Embedded documents into an Access database. We are inserting documents into a SQL back end.
Command we use: DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdInsertObject
This works on most of the laptops using the database, but the newer laptops will not load or open any PDF documents.
We can load ANY other type of file, but when trying to load or open an existing PDF file the laptops "Hang" and you have to use Ctrl + Alt + Delete. When pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete, there are two background processes for
Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (32 bit)
If you stop these processes you can carry on working, and it then gives an error:
A problem occured while Microsoft Access was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control
I have tried everything, re-installed MS Office 2010, Reinstall Adobe, Reinstall Photo Editor. Nothing helped.

I found a solution after MANY wasted hours.
I had installed Office 365 and it automatically installed Acrobat Adobe DC Reader, which is a Cloud application.
I uninstalled Adobe DC completely and then installed Acrobat Adobe 10 reader, which is still Freeware.
Everything works OK now!!!
Apparently you can have both installed. First uninstall both, then load the older version. When you then install Adobe DC, there is an option to keep the older version. For now I am not installing Adobe DC unless I have to!!

How do I get back to the install screen (see image) for Visual Studio 2022 on a MacBook Pro? I'm sure this has been asked and answered, but I can't figure it out to save my life...
Download the installer from the Visual Studio for Mac download page.
Once the download is complete, click the VisualStudioForMacInstaller_<build_number>.dmg to mount the installer, then run it by double-clicking the arrow logo

VB and VBA Program Settings are invisible in RegEdit but accessible via VBA

I got a new laptop with 64-bit Windows 10 Home (version 1803) and 32-bit Office 365 (version 1811) installed.
I can use SaveSetting and GetSetting commands via VBA with no problem, VBA saves and reads everything properly.
But I cannot see VB and VBA Program Settings via RegEdit (not under Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software, not anywhere else):
The key just does not exist.
I tried both C:\Windows\regedit.exe and C:\Windows\SysWOW64\regedit.exe - neither showed the key.
I created VB and VBA Program Settings with a couple of sections and keys to test via RegEdit - VBA read them all perfectly, but when I changed them via SaveSetting, RegEdit did not show updated values. GetSetting did. After I delete them via DeleteSetting, VBA no longer shows them but RegEdit still does.
I ran a search for the key added via SaveSetting, it came up with no results.
I cannot see VB and VBA Program Settings via PowerShell or PowerShell(x86) either. I cannot see them in the text file that I export the registry to.
It seems like a Windows or Office bug. Any ideas how I can see actual values under VB and VBA Program Settings via RegEdit?
OK, I have no idea what it was but reinstalling MS Office fixed the issue. My original Office was pre-installed on the laptop, courtesy of Lenovo. I uninstalled it, then installed it from Microsoft website, and everything seems now back to normal.

sap adobe livecycle designer pdf import crash

I am trying to import a PDF into SAP using adobe livecycle designer.
Everytime I try it my SAP Logon freezes and I have to login again.
There is no error message or anything that could give a clue.
I made the PDF super simple, with only a few lines of text.
I am using a plane Interface which is activated and a plane Form.
I have no acces to the server so I can't look for Protocols.
What could cause the freezing and what can I do about it?
I have tried this with only the Adobe Livecycle Designer again.
Exact Steps:
1. open ALD.
2. File->open.
3. choose my PDF with only text.
-> ALD shuts down.
I already reinstalled ALD.
I already restartet my PC.
This is a known bug in Adobe Livecycle Designer 11.0
You have to install patch level 7 for Adobe Livecycle Designer 11.0 SAP
You can find the download in the SAP Portal, search for this Note: 2692497
But you have to have a SUSER login to do so.

Visual Basic SaveDialog missing dll

I have written a user interface in Visual Basic that sends commands to AutoDesk Inventor to create 3D CAD assemblies. Towards the end of my program, the CAD file is saved and a SaveDialog box comes up. It was working perfectly fine for a while, but now there is an error. Here is the relevant code segment:
SaveDialog.Filter = "Inventor Part | *.ipt|Step File | *.stp"
SaveDialog.DefaultExt = "ipt"
SaveDialog.ValidateNames = True
SaveDialog.ShowDialog()
On the last line shown, I get a run-time error as follows:
"The program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is
missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this
problem."
After closing this error message, the SaveDialog box comes up anyway and works perfectly fine. Of course, on the compiled version the error box never actually shows up and the program simply hangs up indefinitely.
I have search for solutions to this problem for two days. I used Dependency Walker and found a list of other dlls that are reportedly missing, most of them under the MSHTML.DLL
I figure there is probably something that is not referenced correctly in my program, but I'm not sure where to look. Thanks for any help!
The problem is that the KB2999226 (Universal CRT) which is part of the Visual C++ Redistributable failed to install. Is your automatic updates turned OFF?
Solution
Install Windows Updates:
Go to Start - Control Panel - Windows Update
and click on Check for updates. Install all available updates. After the updates are installed, restart your computer. After the restart repeat the steps above again until no more updates are available.
Download the Visual C++ Redistributable:
For Windows 64-bit
http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/3/F/93FCF1E7-E6A4-478B-96E7-D4B285925B00/vc_redist.x64.exe
For Windows 32-bit
http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/3/F/93FCF1E7-E6A4-478B-96E7-D4B285925B00/vc_redist.x86.exe
Run the vcredist_x64.exe (64-bit) or vcredist_x86.exe (32-bit) and select Uninstall. Run the .exe again and select Install

ABCPdf Microsoft XPS printer

I'm using ABCPdf get a pdf from a some HTML code. While I was developing everything worked great, now I install it in the server it is not working. It throw this exception
WebSupergoo.ABCpdf8.Internal.PDFException:
ABCpdf cannot detect any printers.
Gecko Engine requires a printer
installed in the system. Usually, XPS
Document Writer would suffice. Try
also running the service as an
interactive user.
In my computer I have MS office installed, in the server I don't.
So my questions are:
Is there anyway (with ABCpdf) to generate a PDF using Doc.AddImageHtml method without the MS XPS printer?
If not, is there anyway I can install the XPS printer without installing the office?
Thanks!
I found out that if I change to use MSHtml Engine to render the HTML I have no problem in the server.
This rendering engine does not work with IE9 + .NET framework 4 + ASP.NET and not web forms. (That is actually my case). Luckily the server has Windows Server 2003, so it doesn't have IE9. Please note that in the link you should go to section
ABCpdf
and then to the question
6.29 - Converting HTML with IE9 installed, I see the exception:
'ABCpdf could not initiate MSHtml
engine for this version of Internet
Explorer installed.'
This is the only solution I have right now but if someone has a solution that make ABCPdf work without Microsoft XPS Printer and has no trouble with IE9 it would be really appreciated.
You can download the XPS Essentials Pack for server 2003, which includes the XPS driver from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=11816
If your server is 2000 then it won't work however the error message hints any driver will work. Open the Printers folder and from the File menu select Server Properties, go t the Drivers tab and add any PostScript driver. I'm guessing the component is relying on having a printer driver installed to get font widths.
Recent versions of Windows and .NET will have XPS Document Writer automatically. You may try reinstalling it: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-help/782555.htm
