AIR3 (iOS) -> Native Extension (objectiveC) -> control Acrobat PDF API

In my iPad app, I want to load in a PDF and then get control of the Acrobat API to allow the user to interact with the PDF as they see fit.

Is this possible?

I am making the assumption that there is currently objectiveC code available to use the Acrobat API on the iOS. Can anyone verify?

I am also making the assumption that through Native Extension I can bridge to this objevtiveC code from AS3 on the iOS. Can anyone please verify?

Thanks...

at very least does anyone know if you can control the Acrobat API with ObjectiveC in iOS?

if you can't this whole topic is mute...

Ar you talking about interactions that go beyond what you can do with a PDF in a browser?

Yes. The ability to word search and jump to a specific page.

Bringing up a PDF in iOS browser or through StageWebView you cannot perform these actions.

I've seen iPad apps that can word search and page jump. I'm assuming this is being done with ObjectiveC.

I'm looking for someone to confirm this is the case.

Because if so I'm hoping we can then code a Native Extension utilizing this ObjectiveC code and thus control the PDF the way we want.
