I would fork(), set up file descriptors appropriately, then have the
child call the Adobe library and the parent feed the data to it.
Once the document is loaded in the child, do whatever processing you
need to, then pass the results back to the parent via stdout or a
temporary file.

Ugly, but probably the most robust way to do it.  Make sure you don't
call any PG-internal functions in the child process, as that will
confuse things badly.
