Hi All.

I would like to create VB application in Visual Studio to find PDF file in drive and read field value of PDF form. Run application and based on fields value PDF form create message. How it to do?

This is the wrong Adobe community. However - I will answer anyhow. TO work with PDF and VB - you need to get a VB lib that works with PDF documents. This is the only way you can perform this use case.

Hi smacdonald2008. Thanks for replay.

Do I need to download AxAcroPDFLib.dll or AxInterop.AcroPDFLib library?

Thanks.
