Adobe Reader Version Detection

[LoveOpnSrc]

Hi,

I am trying to resolve an issue between versions 6 - 9. I need to detect what version is trying to open the PDF file. I was able to use this code, like this

strAdobeReaderVersion = Request.Cookies("ReaderVersion")

But all this tells me is version 7 or higher. Is it possible to be more specific? Since the release of 9 it has broken stuff

Thanks,
Jay

instead of alerting the version, you can write it to a textbox or hidden input and maybe do...

strAdobeReaderVersion = txtAdobeVersion.Text

in the javacript, change..

alert(acrobat.installed);
alert(acrobat.version);

to..

document.getElementById("myDotNetControlID").value = acrobat.version;
