Does anyone know how to use Win32OLE to connect to an opened pdf
document ?

I tried this acrobat

    require "win32ole"
    WIN32OLE.new('AcroExch.App')

but I got this error :

pdfEbook.rb:12:in `initialize': unknown OLE server: `AcroExch.App'
(WIN32OLERuntimeError)
    HRESULT error code:0x800401f3
      Invalid class string from

Any help is appreciated..

Thanks

Though I don't know the exact app name, try this:

1. there was a thread on starting acrobat through ole (the poster used
the same ID) maybe you can tyr his code - search for acrobat in the
archives

2. look for a thread named 'Ruby and COM' - somebody explains how to
find out what is the exact app name

Thanks Jan,
I found the thread: Ruby and COM - Ruby - Ruby-Forum

I'm reading it now
