Hi tranquilizer.

Firstly you need to use a prover ActiveX library:
To be able to use it you need to be sure you have installed that library in your system. At least you need to run on the target system the following commands

regsvr32 PDFXEditCore.x86.dll
(for 32-bit applications)

regsvr32 PDFXEditCore.x64.dll
(for 64-bit applications)

- typically you need to call it with the admin rights during the installation process. For more details look here: https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/vi ... stribution.

Also seems you used the wrong progid to get access to the PDFXChange Editor API. The correct is:

"PDFXEdit.PXV_Inst" - this is the ActiveX object to get access to the pdf-manipulation API
(https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/view/PXV:PXC_Inst)

"PDFXEdit.PXV_Control" - the UI component, classic ActiveX Control to view and edit pdfs by the end user
(https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/vi ... XV_Control).

And here are some examples:

HTH.

Thank you
