InterApplicaton Communication (IAC) for UNIX

(David_W._Holmes) Apr 30, 2008 5:59 AM

I need a way to programatically control what Acrobat Reader displays (via Named Destinations) for a context-sensitive help application built with .NET2003 on both Windows and Unix (Solaris, 32/64).

Other than the PDF Library (which would be overkill and may cost-prohibitive), what tools are available to communicate with a viewer(I am not locked into using acroread, but would prefer to use it)?

Hello David,

did you try the Adobe SDK? There are some samples how to use DDE Messages or the COM-Interfaces of Acrobat. The most of these functions (which are not to edit content) run also with Adobe Reader.

Best regards,
Volker
