Check thread:

You may use Adobe Interactive form UI for pdf files. We have the Office Control UI element to open only the files like doc and excel through WebDynpro.

Hi

No.

As simply its name indicate Office Control (So adobe don't have any tool like office) , Its all for MS office only.

For pdf we have separate contents named ADS (Adobe Document Service).

You can use OfficeControl to add an Office document to a view. OfficeControl is provided as an ActiveX control, so that it can be displayed in browsers that support ActiveX controls. 

For browsers that do not support ActiveX controls, the following runtime exception is raised: Office Integration through Applet is not supported.

The ActiveX control element enables the following documents to be displayed:

u25CB       Microsoft Word documents with the file extension doc

If on client side Office 2007 is installed, the extensions docx and docm are also supported.

u25CB       Microsoft Excel documents with the file extension xls

If on client side Office 2007 is installed, the extensions xlsx and xlsm are also supported.

Make sure that all clients have an installation of Office 2007, before you use the extensions docx, docm, xlsx and xlsm.

Prerequisites
You can only use the OfficeControl UI element if one of the following software programs is installed:

u25CF      Microsoft Office XP, Office 2003, Office 2007 

If you have Microsoft Internet Explorer installed, check your Internet Options to see whether the ActiveX control elements for executing and initializing are enabled. To do this, choose Internet Options ® Security ® Custom level ® ActiveX controls and plug-ins ® Enable. Otherwise, the Office document cannot be displayed.
