Microsoft Web Browser / Adobe PDF Reader OCX Controls

[Doogie]

I am using the Microsoft Web Browser OCX control to build a viewer of
PDF files but my problem is that I don't want them to have the ability
to save the PDF file using the save button in Adobe, but want to build
a save button within my form so I can have more control on what/where/
how they save it. I can't seem to figure out a way for the control to
restrict this.

There is an Adobe PDF Reader OCX control available to me, but I can't
find any help or documentation on this control at all so I can't even
detemrine how to get the file opened within it.

One thing to note, is that I'm doing this within a programming
language called Progress (i.e. OpenEdge).

Any suggestions?

The Adobe dll is AcroRd32.dll. You would have to ask in an Adobe forum if it
has any hooks that you can use.

Access is only prgrammable in VBA, do you'll need to try something else.
