It is important to realize that Adobe Reader is not the same thing as Acrobat. If you are reading documentation, be sure you note which one (or both) it is talking about.
Developing with Acrobat, or Reader, should not rely on an object browser; be sure to use the Acrobat SDK. The object models are complicated. If Acrobat had been installed and your example had worked, the document opened would have been invisible because you did not open an AVDoc as well.

File path should come immediately after the programm path:"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe D:\test.pdf"
Try it with a local path, if it works try with a static server path and then a dynamic one to be able to localize the error source. If you use variables, watch their values by debugging modus.
Another try could be to map the server drive instead of using \\servername.

Sending a printer escape C++ / VB I have successfully gotten my VB 6 program to create a PDF file by programmatically changing the default printer to my The structure is defined on page 14 of that document.

The SDK looks like it begins with the API declaration, then the structure declaration (although it is generally better to declare the structure before the function that uses it), and it ends with the function that will be called from the main program, SelecFichier (means SelecFile). In SelecFichier, you declare an object of type OPENFILENAME, its name is OFName. After that, the different members are
