I am using the Adobe Acrobat Control for ActiveX (axpdflib) on my
form. However, when the form loads, the thumbnails are completely
grayed out. Does anyone have any insight as to this? In addition, I
call teh function setShowToolBar(false) and still get the toolbar
loading, is there anything else that I would need to do to do this if
it is even possible? The best thing would be finding some
documentation about any of this, but after scanning the internet for
hours I came up with nothing. Love Adobe....

Ok, I just want to let anyone else out there that I found the
problem. The ActiveX control does not automatically create the
thumbnail images as does the full version of Acrobat. Thus, there
were no images with which to display. This was worked around
initially by opening the file in Acrobat and going to the thumbnails,
and embedding the thumbnail images into the file, saving, and then
running the application afterward. Then it was done programmatically
by opening the Adobe Document COM object, loading the file, creating
the thumbnails with the CreateThumbs method, saving the file, and then
closing. This was done at the startup runtime of the application...
it slows down the start up time significantly be I had found no other
work around. If anyone has any insight or further information I'd
still be interested in learning more.
