Where do I find useful documentation for supported Apple events in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC

The documentation for the SDK keeps refering to "Acrobat" events that reader DC is supposed to support, but I simply cannot find any documentation on how to use it.

I've managed to launch and activate the program as well as open a file using applescript, but that's about it. The scripts supplied with the SDK all fail miserably so I can't even use those to learn from.

Specifically I'm interested in finding events that will allow me to fetch text (marked as well as not) and to highlight a portion of the text.

The piece of information you may be missing is this. “Acrobat” is a reference to Acrobat Pro. Unless otherwise noted in the SDK the free Acrobat Reader does not expose interfaces.
