Why can't you change the size of the control in design view. The only other option i can think of is actually opening the Adobe Reader from Access. I know this can be done but i don't know the code.

See also the properties of your control! Especially Size Mode! There is option Clip Stretch or Zoom! Try the 3!

And which references do you use in your visual basic for load the acrobat?

you need to expand the PDf active object under VBA code

assuming you are using the Acrobat 7 Browser control and have named it AcroPdf1 then the code I use is as follows In my form onload even.

You can also resize it under code when it is running using VBA

            Me.AcroPDF1.LoadFile ("C:\PMCMS\Dummy.pdf")
            Me.AcroPDF1.setShowToolbar (False)
            Me.AcroPDF1.Height = 3800
            Me.AcroPDF1.Width = 12000
            Me.AcroPDF1.setView ("FullScreen")
            Me.AcroPDF1.Visible = True

you must of course set up the references to the type library and have the activex object dropped on to the form

Hope that helps

I seem to be having difficulty enabling the Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Type library. I can't seem locate that reference in the list. Does anyone know of a reason why this library would not show up besides. Adobe Acrobat 7.0 and the SDK are both installed.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
