adding comments to pdf from labview

[id]

I would like to add comments to a schematic in adobe acrobagt pro IX from labview.  I cant seem to find any info on it or its active x interface from labview.  Is there a way to do this from labview or do I need another toolkit or something>

Well if Acrobat has an ActiveX API that supports annotations, LabVIEW can probably use it -- no toolboxes needed. The place to start is with Adobe to find out what ActiveX interface exists.

Or perhaps try googling "adobe ActiveX".

It appears that adobe XI which I am using has the ability to do inteapplication communication through OLE that I found at

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/interapplication_communication.html

Interapplication communication

Adobe® Acrobat® provides support for Interapplication Communication (IAC) through OLE and DDE on Windows® platforms and through Apple® events and AppleScript on Macintosh® platforms. This support allows programs to control Acrobat and Adobe Reader® in much the same way a user would.

You can also use the IAC support to render a PDF file into any specified window instead of the Acrobat or Reader window. The IAC support methods and events serve as wrappers for some of the core API calls in the Acrobat SDK. In this way, IAC supports enterprise workflows by making it possible to control Acrobat and Reader, display PDF documents in other applications, and manipulate PDF data from other applications.

Any recommendations on where to go from here are appreciated.
