Java Programming

Has anyone successfully integrated Acrobat 7 in any way with java?

I know for a fact there are some examples at IBM (only works for version 5 & 6) : http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-activex/

Then there are some ActiveX example for word:
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-ActiveX%20Support%20in%20SWT/ActiveX%20Support%20in%20SWT.html

But none of these examples seem to work for Acrobat 7.

I have updated the IBM example with the new Adobe progId ie

site = new OleControlSite( frame, SWT.NONE, "AcroExch.Document" );

This new progId instantiates a file chooser dialog, and then the OleFrame is correctly populated with the pdf document.

The problem is then trying to get the Document from the ActiveX component.

I have printed the functions for component AcroExch.Document, I have attached them to the end of this message.

After reading the "Acrobat Interapplication Communication Overview", and seeing the diagram on page 21, it seems that I need to get the AVDoc.

So the function Document, with the description "Gets the associated AV Document object", seems like my logical choice.

So I do this:

int[] appId = this.auto.getIDsOfNames( new String[] { "Document" } );

and I get the (id = 497) as a return result.

But then if do :

Variant pVarResult1 = this.auto.invoke( appId[ 0 ] );

or if I try with site.exec I always get a null result.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I just want to be able to imbed the reader, without its widgets, and to do things programmatically like zoom.

As an optional plus, I would like to be able to use a stream instead of a file, but I am pretty sure this is not supported.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
