JSObj.SaveAs(fullPathTIF, "com.adobe.acrobat.tiff")

PDDoc.Close()
PDFApp.CloseAllDocs()

' Clean up

System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(PDFApp)
PDFApp = Nothing

System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(PDDoc)
PDDoc = Nothing

System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(AVDoc)
AVDoc = Nothing

End Sub

It gives an exception at line PDFApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
=> Cannot create ActiveX component

I have acrobat 8. Do I need to install SDK or some other component?
