Adobe TPDF ActiveX component

[StevenK]

Does anyone have any experience of using the Adobe TPDF ActiveX component in Delphi ?
I've only successfully gotten as far as placing the component on a form and setting the 'src' property such that I am able to view a PDF file in the viewer.
If I try to change the file to view - that is by changing the 'src' property to another file path (or using the LoadFile()' procedure) I get an Access Violation.
How should I be changing which file to view at run-time ?
Do I need to Disable/Enable or something like that ?
I've tried different things but seem to be missing the point.
Similarly am I able to create a TPDF component at run-time, not have it visible and use it to directly print a PDF file without having to view it on screen.
Any help would be appreciated.
Steve

As luck would have it I appear to have solved my problems with this. I am able to use the 'LoadFile()' procedure for the TPDF components. I think my mistake was in trying to pass the 'LoadFile()' procedure a String rather than a WideString, when I set up a 'var' of type WideString and passed this to the procedure it solved the issue.
I just can't seem to get rid of the panel on the left hand side in the previewing of the PDF files - I am able to hide the toolbar at the top using the appropriate command (I think it's setShowToolBar()' or similar) but cannot hide the panel on the left showing the file breakdown (i.e. sections or chapter headings).
Anyone advise me on this one ?
Thanks again
