Control a PDF from vba

[cssriraman]

Hi,

I want to open a PDF file and save it as .Jpeg file and I need to insert it into my MS Word document.

I have written code to insert the jpeg files in to my word document.

But, I don't know how to open a PDF file and save it as .Jpeg file through VBA Coding.

Please help!

Thanks,

CS.

Your going to need a Utility to convert the pdf to another format or if you have the full version of Acrobat. Usually there is allot on converting any format to pdf but not too much on going the other way around.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I have the full version of Adobe PDF 6.0. Currently I manually saving the pdf file to Jpeg file in Adobe acrobat 6.0. I want to automate it through vba coding.

Thanks,

Go to Adobe's site and download the SDK for Acrobat. It has many examples, and I think will allow you to automate the process. You have to register for it, but it should be free.

6.0 SDK is no longer available as they are currently on 7.0. So you may have some compatibility issues.

Oh, I don't have it, so I didn't know that.
Maybe you could find it elsewhere?

I was also going to mention that if your only doing some of the basics that the compatibility hopefully would still be the same in 7.0's SDK but dont depend on it.

I tried to download the SDK for Acrobat. I think it is not free. I registered and i tried to download but i got a message that "autorization to that page is denied." Is it not free?

Only certain areas and certain documents are free, at least the last time I logged in.

Hi all,

I need solution!

Please someone help.

Yes, Adobe only gives you some access for free but if you pay then you get it all. Its not cheap either. Is there anything in the available documentation about commandline parameters? Maybe you can shell out Acrobat with the file to saveas to jpg type?

How?
