Interapplication Communication

Only a limited subset of the complete IAC functionality is available for Adobe Reader. For detailed
descriptions of the syntax and usage of the IAC APIs discussed in this chapter, see the Interapplication
Communication API Reference and Developing Applications using Interapplication Communication.
Note: IAC is not supported on the Linux or UNIX platforms.

OLE automation

On Windows, the only OLE automation supported for Adobe Reader is the PDF browser controls interface,
which enables you to treat a PDF document as an ActiveX document within an external application. This
makes it possible to load a file, move to various pages within the file, highlight a text selection, and specify
various print and display options, as shown below.
