I want to open a fdf or xfdf file in visual basic with the acrobat 7 browser control type libary. When i open a PDF file with the acropdf1.loadfile method it works perfecly. But when i try to open the fdf or xfdf file the appears the error-message "file does not begin with %pdf-". Think that is normally right, because the first digits in the file in pdf must begin with %pdf-1.5 or something like that. So the error message is quite ok, but is there a possibility to display that fdf file in a visual basic form?

Normally the main Problem ist, that we fill a pdf file with the fdf data, that works.... now the users must work on that pdf and have to save it, where a script should pick the file up and send it via e-mail!

how can i do that, i cannot say in acrobat reader you have to save it there, and change the filename and then sent the pdf file via e-mail!

cann anyone help?
