Greetings to list members,
I am trying to use an Acrobat COM object in a class that is subclassed from
threading.Thread.
Since threading.Thread is subclassed, the __init__ method of the inheriting
class must explicitly call the threading.Thread.__init__ method of the
parent. I guess I'm missing something similar for the COM object. Threading
code and traceback below. Any pointers?
CODE:
=================================
class process_file(threading.Thread):
def __init__(self,connection):
threading.Thread.__init__(self)
self.connection=connection
def run(self):
####
irrelevant code here
####
# Acrobat COM starts
AVD = win32com.client.Dispatch('AcroExch.AVDoc') # Traceback
refers to this line (89)
pdfname=pdfname.replace('.pdf',PDFNAME_SUFFIX)
AVD.Open(pdf.name, pdfname) # ////////
print 'opened avdoc'
==================================
TRACEBACK:
==================================
Exception in thread Thread-1:

==================================
TIA. Best regards,
