Microsoft Access - Missing link to acrobat.tlb

I am working with a Microsoft Access database that was mostly completed in Access 2010 and I am now opening it on a new computer with Access 2013.

After opening the program, he tells me

"The Microsoft Access database or project contains a missing or broken link to the" acrobat.tlb "version 1.1 file."

I have done some research and I know that I need to go into the VB code and go under tools->references

. Now working links are listed under that title and then it says:

"MISSING: Adobe Acrobat 10.0 Type Library"

So now I understand that I need to link to this file .tlb

. I'm happy here, but whenever I try to browse, I can never find this file. I just downloaded Adobe, so I know I have the most recent version.

In my research, I saw a couple of places where you can simply uncheck the box and try compiling again. This however does not work for me. he needs this link for a few things i do.

Has anyone ever had this problem or had any recommendations for me?

Thank!

I'm not 100% sure, but downloading Adobe alone might not get you the library you need. You may need the file that is in the SDK (which happens to be free) adobe site . Try installing this and see if you can go to tlb.

SQL hound was right. To expand on what he suggested and more specifically for this problem for those with this problem in the future, you need to download the Acrobat DC SDK (not air). In InterappCommunicationSupport / Headers you will find acrobat.tlb.

I am using Access 2013 and Acrobat Pro 11.0. I searched for the "acrobat.tlb" file on my disks. Found below: "C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Adobe \ Acrobat 11.0 \ Acrobat"

In Visual Basic Code "tools / links" I clicked Browse and navigated to the location I found, selected the file and clicked OK. Returning to "tools / links", "Adobe Acrobat 10.0 Library" is now available and selected. I ran minimal code to open and show the page count of an open "pdf" document and it returned the correct page count.

Just so you know: Now I remember that there was a choice called only "acrobat", now it is gone. This must be caused by manually selecting a file. This choice may have pointed to the acrobat.tlb file. You can see the full path and filename corresponding to the selected library name at the bottom of the help window.

I had the same problem but had a lost link to "... Adobe 9 ... Type Library ..." I unchecked the checkbox and tried using the " Acrobat Access 3.0 Type Library " next. Then it worked.
