I decided to take a different route with this.  Instead of just 
modifiying the demo I modified the wx.lib.pdfwin module to automatically 
use the IE window.  This way it is still able to expose the Acrobat COM 
methods because they are available via the Document property.  However 
this required using win32com instead of wx.activex.

Please give it a try by getting the CVS version:
