Adobe Acrobat has a javascript API - but does READER also have one?

[gidmeister]

I'd like to extend my website, which currently can highlight web content, to also be able to highlight PDFs that are displayed in the browser.

I found out that Adobe Acrobat has a JavaScript API, but Acrobat is a stand-alone program.   Acrobat Reader, on the other hand, can be used from web browsers, or at least from CHROME, (EDGE  has its own built-in PDF reader).  

So does Acrobat Reader have a JavaScript API?

And if it does, can I make those JavaScript calls from a webpage in my web browser (perhaps using iframes?)

Thanks:

1. JavaScript yes, external API no.

2. When you show a PDF in Chrome, no Adobe software is involved.

3. Can‘t bridge from web page JavaScript to PDF Javascript so far as I know.

Thank you.

Based on what you say, it seems that I even if I used Acrobat JavaScript to capture a highlight, I would not be able to send the text of that highlight to my website.

I've downloaded a PDF on JavaScript for Acrobat though.
