If you've declared an object to be of a certain type, your CreateObject call
must refer to that same type.

dim myApp as acrobat.acroapp
myapp=createobject("acrobat.acroapp")

or

dim myApp as acroexch.app
myapp=createobject("acroexch.app")


To be honest, I've never used Automation with Acrobat Reader, so I don't
know if either of those is actually correcte.

It is not really a Microsoft Access question.

Try asking in an Acrobat newsgroup. For example:

To perform virtually any Adobe functions in .Net, you need Acrobat Pro
installed on all machines which are going to use the process.

I am trying to output a selection of two page reports from access as pdf
files with the customer name as the pdf filename. I have Acrobat Pro and
tried the batch function ... with no success. Any ideas?
