Besides top-posting? ;^)
Do you have the documentation for using automation with
version 7? The version 5 document is called "iacreference.pdf"
which stands for "Interapplication Communication Reference"
I got it from adobe.com. A quick Google search of adobe.com
shows that they also have the same documentation for version 7.
It's in their "Acrobat for IT Professionals" area.
If you are getting an error that the class doesn't exist, then
either the class has not been registered (usually done when a
product is installed, but some components like SDKs must be
explicitly registered using regsvr32.exe), or you are trying
to instatiate a class that is not in the component.
The documentation for the SDK would tell you how to register
the component and how to instantiate and use it programmatically.
