setcurrent page for pdf

I am using a shell execute to open a pdf. How do I open the pdf to a certian page? I read that you can use the setcurrentpage property. How do you use this. In my module I have a public function and then on my form in my flexgrid I call the function.

VB Code:

Public Function OpenPDF(ByVal pdf As String) As Long
  OpenPDF = ShellExecute(0&, vbNullString, pdf, vbNullString, vbNullString, vbNormalFocus)
End Function
 
Private Sub MSFlexGrid1_Click()
OpenPDF (App.Path & "\" & "Howe Vol 2.pdf")
End Sub

I think you need to have the Acrobat SDK in order to use that. I ran a search through all my pdf
API reference guides (thousands of pages) and came up empty for "setcurrentpage".
Where did you get that from?

I think I did a search on this forum for pdf + page. One of the threads I ran across had it in it.

Oh, what version of Acrobat or all versions?

this is the thread http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...setcurrentpage


I would say Acrobat 5 or above. I have Acrobat 5

You should download the SDK. You cannot give out their code, but you can use it. I'm pretty sure that it's free, also. Both people in that thread had the SDK, and were using it.

You can signup with Adobe at the free membership level to gain access to some of the SDKs and code samples.
There is a TON of reference material that you can get at the Registered Member level :thumb:

have a look at this thread. specially my comments in the end of the thread.
