PDF Distiller and ASP

[jkb17]

I've been told by Adobe that you can instantiate the PDFDistiller object from within an ASP page. I use the Server.CreateOBject("Pdfdistiller.pdfdistiller.1&quot call as described by Adobe.

My server doesn't recognize the object and Adobe told me that it may be a permissions issue. It is not because I set my IUSR_computername account to be a member of the Administrators group (just for testing their permissions theory), but I still receive the error message.

Has anyone encountered this? I am supposed to call a different class, regsvr32 a different DLL or what?

Thanks in advance.

I have been able to get this to work in a Script. Sorry that I have not tried it out in the ASP environent as that is not where it will reside in production, however considering that I have got it to work in the Windows Script environment I would imagine it would work in ASP.

Both of these bits of code work for me when I put them into a .vbs ---->
