That is correct. due to changes required for compatibility with Vista (and now Windows 7), PDFs opened in browsers are no longer included in the count of documents - only those in the stand-alone application.

Thanks Leonard,

So, the question is: how I can operate the PDF opened in IE? Example: call FindText() function. Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks for your reply.

There are some IE/Windows specific methods that you can use to get access to the ActiveX control. It's not Acrobat-specific.

Leonardr,

Function FindText() is in AcroExch.AVDoc. In Acrobat 8, we get AVDoc via call AcroExch.App.GetAVDoc() and then we have full access to AcroExch.AVDoc functions.

The ActiveX control is AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF. There are some functions avaliable in this interface but they can not fulfill our requirement.

Do you mean there are only functions in AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF avaliable in IE Explorer (AcrobatPro 9)? Functions in AcroExch.AVDoc are not avaliable anymore?

Thanks for your reply.
