The ActiveX Acrobat control has a very simple interface:

1 property
	LPCTSTR GetSrc()
	SetSrc(LPCTSTR)
3 operations
	void Print();
	BOOL LoadFile(LPCTSTR fileName);
	void AboutBox();

Loading the file with LoadFile() and subsequently printing it with
Print() works for me (in a C++ project). But the control is supposed to
be a visual control. I can't tell if it can work as a background
non-visual control.
