for example, I want to control the Adobe Reader(with doc open) to go to some page, go to the next page, go to the previous page, go to the first page, or go to the last page through IAC.

I have read the Acrobat SDK documentation for IAC, it seems that Adobe Reader does not support OLE automation, and only for PDF browser controls which I think isn't what I really want.

As for DDE, it only provides subset DDE messages to Adobe Reader, and it seems that the provided DDE messages can't resolve my problem.

So my question is: how can I resolve the above example problem through IAC? Is it possible to resolve the above problem through IAC?
