Hi,

Something like this ?

Thanks - this looks like just what I need, but when I ran it (first I converted down to 8.0) I got the following error

Error 3005 occurred at Automation Open: Object specified is not creatable in Show PDF.vi

I tried several different PDF files

I assume I am missing some resource on my computer - but I don't know which one - any ideas ?

Thanks again.

Hi,

You need to 'insert ActiveX object' to get your link to the PDF reader on your PC. You can find in in the right mouse menu, choose 'Create control' and 'Adobe PDF reader'

Disadvantage of ActiveX is that it is not always functioning when you run your program on a other PC or when your update your software (Like the PDF reader)
