How to set up Acrobat to make it to be used by ASP

[vicky2003]

Hi,Everyone
I met a problem maybe someone have experience with it.
I tried to call acrobat distiller to convert .ps file to pdf file. It show excute failed. If I tried using VB,it successed! So I think maybe asp user doesn't have right access to the distiller. Anyone know how to set it?
Here is the code in asp.
acr = Server.CreateObject("pdfdistiller.PdfDistiller.1")
acr.bShowWindow = False
acr.FileToPDF "d:\lta\1.ps", "d:\lta\1.pdf", "Print"
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(acr)
acr = Nothing

Thanks advance,
Vicky

is the dll registered on the server? It needs to be for the server.createobject to work

Yes,I have registered this dll. In fact, I called this dll by another exe file,it successed! It only failed by asp way. So I thought it must security problem. Becuase the user will be different from current machine's user if we call the dll by asp.

Thanks reply,

I think your partially correct.The user that is used for IIS probably does not have the permission, but that user is the same for everyone that visits the site (IUSR_machinename if I remember correctly). So you could give hat user permission and if it was a permissions issue then you should be good to go at tht point.

Hi,
The problem is I don't know how to set the permission to this user. I guess maybe there are two ways need to do , one is setting acrodist.exe security, another way is ASP permission setting. Could you please give me an idea?

Thanks a lot!
