To say the truth Adobe Acrobat SDK has PRC API in it, but it is
Windows-only, goes for big-$$$ and for that is "Not licensed to run in a
batch or server mode".
As to the role of Adobe in 3D formats war - it reminds me of a quote
attributed to a North Vietnamese general: "You Americans have fast
choppers and jeeps, so you can rapidly move troops to the point of
engagemment. But we are _already_ there!". The installed base of Adobe
Readers may be a new factor in that endless Tweedle D.* free-for-all ;)
Sincerely, Michail
