Hello,
I have been trying to open a .pdf file then read a google map that is in it. The pdf has many maps with an ID associated with it. I would like to scan for the ID and if it's a match, I would want to copy the map from the pdf and paste in a ppt slide.
My problem is I tried using labview activex and even opening the file isn't working. I used many examples found on here to open the file they don't seem to work. my load file either return false or I get a class error and so on.
can anyone help me achieve what I am trying to do. I am using LV2014 and I have adobe reader 11.0

Post your code and somebody will help to take it from there.

My mistake.
I could not get far. My file load always return false or return a null error. I set up the skeleton for what I envision to do. See below

I have no problem with acrobat reader DC and LV2013 or LV2014. I think maybe your problem came from acrobat reader 11.0.07:

Any update in your code?

Nope I didn't get anywhere with it.
I realize I may have to downgrade to adobe 11.0.06 which i have to go through a lot of loophole and justification with IT.

I finally decided to Downgrade to Adobe DC reader and I still get the error 97 Unknown system.
Update: I fixed the error 97 by using automation open. but the loadfile still return false
