Proplem with shell command

[Anonymous]

Hi
I am using AutoCAD 2007 for customization through VBA.I am using a shell command for opening a pdf document,the code written for Commandbutton click event is like this

Shell "AC:\Program files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Reader\AcroRd.exe c:\myfile.pdf"

This code was working fine for many days but suddenly i am getting an error message 'Invalid procedure call or Argument'
Can any one tell be what would be the problem or any other method to open pdf document through AutoCAD VBA.
Thanks.

Whats this all about...

"Shell "AC:\Program...." "AC...??"

Is that a valid root drive?

If it was working but now it's not, I would look at has anything changed
about the version of acrobat reader.

Benny,

Check out this PDF from the Adobe partners area which might assist you with what we can't see.

Here's a lisp solution that will open a pdf using the autocad browser command, this would eliminate the need to use the shell command.

You can adapt it to vba using the sendcommand

(defun C:pdffile ()

(setq save_cmdecho (getvar "cmdecho"))

(setvar "cmdecho" 0)

;Change the following file path to match your file location

(setq file "C:\\adobe.pdf")

(command "BROWSER" file)

(setvar "cmdecho" save_cmdecho)

;Clean Exit

(princ)

);defun

(princ)

Good Luck
