You have to detect this from the client script:

However, once you determine the presence/absence of Acrobat, you can pass
that information using client-side script to a server-side control to be
submitted to the server.

Hi, I'm using acrobat reader contorl in my vb.net application to display pdf files. I'm using version 8.0 of acrobat, but if i run my application on other machine which has different version of acrobat reader (let's say version 5.0) it is giving me an error. If the acrobat version is same on both machines, no error. How can i make it to run on different machines which have different versions of acrobat reader.
