Re: NumPages Error back in Word 2007

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Colbert

Thank you for your reply.

We have started two seperate actions in order to get this to work.
We will see if AdLib Express can be updated to take care of the problem.
In fact, Adobe PDF Printer takes care of it, and no page-errors exist when
PDF documents are created with this tool.
We have also made some modifications to our COM Addin fix, to see if this
could help.

How ever, this is an obvious Microsoft Word 2007 bug, for which one could
expect that a bug fix have been made a long time ago.
I have small hope that this perticular error have been fixed in SP2.

Either way, thank you for your answers and recommendations.

Best Regards

Hello Peter,

Thank you for your clarification.

Actually, the not recommended and supported thing is automating Office from
Server side, rather than using a COM Addin in a Server environment. If we
really need to do that, there are some considerations you can find in this
KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/257757.

And from your description, it should be the AdLib Express PDF Print Driver
that is doing Office automation from server side, our workaround Office
Addin is hosted in the Office application that remote started and automated
by AdLib Express PDF. So, please feel free to use your workaround Addin.

As to the issue itself, I think it is related to the Word product, rather
than the Office development. So the right place for it should not be the
com.addin newsgroup, but Word product newsgroup here,
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=micros
oft.public.word.numbering&cat=en_US_952c9b15-883f-4e1f-830f-b72aa840d6d2&lan
g=en&cr=US. But if this really affects and compacts the business, I highly
encourage you to open a case with the CSS to work it out. If its priority
is not that high, I think the Addin workaround is an OK solution at current
time. What is your opinion?
