Hi David,
Can not help but can confirm that this happens to me too on Windows 8.1.
Maybe the dll's didn't get registered correctly, in X there is only AcroPDF.dll, but in XI there is also AcroPDF64.dll in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX

For the past few days, I have been getting many user reports of my app stopping working (Windows 8) or behaving erratically (Win 7) and I have tracked this to the recent release (May 13) of an update to Adobe Reader - which defaults when first installed to installing updates automatically. The previous 11.0.06 (Jan 14) is fine.
With Windows 8.1, Python 2.7.6 and wx 2.9.5.0 I can show this crashing Python when I run wx.lib.pdfwin stand-alone (or its equivalent in the Demo). Stepping through pdfwin it gets into wx.lib.activex and bombs out on line 94 at
hwnd = user32.CreateWindowExA(0, "AtlAxWin", axID,
WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE
> WS_CLIPCHILDREN | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS,
x,y, w,h, parent.GetHandle(), None,
hInstance, 0)where axID = 'AcroPDF.PDF.1'
which is as far as my limited skills take me. Is anyone able to take this any further - or to suggest how to bring this to someone's attention at Adobe?
Fortunately I have got a workaround, which is to switch over to using my PDFViewer in the app's User Preferences.
