PDF Creator

john_bellinger

I'm using PDFCreator to automate email attachments from certain points within NAV.

I just purchased a new computer, installed PDFCreator. When I run my automated Microsoft Dynamics NAV process I get the message 'Could not create an instance of the OLE control or Automation server . . . Check that the OLE control or Automation servcer is correctly installed and registered.'

Is something failing to install on my new workstation? This same process works on other workstations.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Using Vista?

No.

XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 2

Hello
the messages means that an Service or dll is not availble. When you can open the report in designermode than you should see some Global Variables showing on a automation server. This service has to be installed or registred. Which one is a little try and error. It could be a part of an Office package or something from Adobe. Install the same programs as on your former pc and then it should work.

I did install same as on other pc.

I've removed and re-installed with no success.

Adobe Reader & PDF Creator
tools->Custom Controls

john_bellinger

Sorry - I'm not sure if I follow -

I went to Tools >> Customer Controls in NAV. I found a line with Name = Adobe PDF Reader. When I try to reregister I get the message 'Could not register the OLE control. Path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroPDF.dll'

I do have that path and file on my computer.

In Customer Controls I do not see a line for PDFCreator.

Yes.

Hello. Try uninstall pdfcreator and installing it again.

Also Compile the Object. Maybe the new version of pdfcreator has a new dll version and you need to reselect it from global variables.

john_bellinger

No luck.

I think I've uninstalled and installed about a dozen times.

Did you reselect the global variable in your object?

i use eDocPrinter PDF Pro, which works fine

john_bellinger

I give up. I'll probably try something other the PDFCreator.

It's like finding a needle in a haystack sometimes but by your first post it does work fine just not on your new machine.

Did you install everything fresh or did you copy directories from the old computer to new??

Did you reselect & recompile?

I would think you would get some kind of error if it didn't exist??

ara3n

If he recompiles he would get the error.

Silly me - problem is solved. I am using Lanham email solution and had not loaded the OCX that is part of their solution.

Sorry to waste all your time.
