system: WinXP SP1 python 2.3 wxpython 2.4.2.4u in site-packages with 2.5.1.4u accesed via set PYTHONPATH
How do I get the bug: open an pdf file in the demo then minimize/restore or maximize the window. Everything inside the control goes blank with some content being repainted as the mouse passes over (mostly buttons with onHover). Text appears if I drag the page. Installed are both Acrobat 5.0 and Acrobat Reader 6.0, what I see in the control is the Acrobat not the Reader.
.... some few minutes later....
It doesn't work anymore, the ActiveX_PDFWindow throws: "Could not find Adobe Acrobat" followed by "Could not find Acrobat External Window Handler" uppon opening a file.
All I did was change the file association for pdfs from Acrobat 5.0 to Acrobat Reader 6.0.
... few more minutes later....
restored the association to Acrobat but got stucked with the errors, also my IE acrobat integration is busted.... giving up (too much time wasted already)

I've seen it too but wan't able to figure out where it came from. Since the IE and flash ActiveX controls don't have a similar problem I can only point the finger at Acrobat at this point, but perhaps as more people start using it for other ActiveX we'll get more data on the issue and be able to figure it out.

the IE and flash ActiveX work without problems. I've added a button to the demo window that, when pressed, calls self.pdf.Refresh(). Pressing the button renders the thing blank, a call to self.Refresh() has the same effect.
I've tested it with Acrobat Reader 6.0 too.... the problem is identical.
The IE plugin works without problems so I think that the ActiveX control works.

I've just installed win32 extensions and tested the wrapper from the old 2.4.2.4 demo.... surprise.... this one works....
