"Not supported" means that there is no support.

That means
- there is no documentation
- there is no technical support
- Adobe can and will change it without giving any notice, or drop it
completely if they find a better way to do it.
- if you complain Adobe will say "it is not supported, sorry".

Surely a responsible company will want to develop with software which
has at least some chance of stability, tech support, bug fixes etc.?

However, this is up to you; I would hope it would be a management
decision, since someone has to be prepared to take responsibility if,
for instance, the whole thing doesn't work with Acrobat 6.0.

The Acrobat SDK has about 10,000 pages of information on supported
developer interfaces.  None will do what pdf.ocx does with only the
free Reader, though, by design I think.  See the Acrobat Developer FAQ
for more information.

Acrobat READER does NOT include any supported method for a program to
show PDF files in its own Window. This is supported only in Acrobat.
