[Mono-dev] Mono and ole32.dll

[Cosmin Ciuraru]

Thank you for your answer, Quandary.
I try to use the Acrobat SDK in order to fill in a pdf and digitally sign
it. In order to do that, I use the Javascript part of the SDK and the
JSObject can be used from C# with the use of Interop.Acrobat and
Interop.AFORMAUTlib. Unfortunately, Acrobat SDK needs the Adobe Acrobat
installed, not the Reader and, for Linux, there is no version of Adobe
Acrobat (May be I am wrong, because for Acrobat 7.0.5 SDK they have a Linux
version of the SDK - the only Linux version - but how could one use it?).
So, I cannot use it.

I am really glad though that this group has been really helpful and prompt.
