I'm not sure it's creating a file anywhere, so I'm thinking Adobe Reader may have an interface to be passed data directly from another application. That's what I'm looking for.  I believe that on Windows Adobe Reader has DDE and OLE interfaces. I wonder if anyone has made an Adobe Reader library for Python?
