Can I "place" an image into an Adobe product from an external java based one?
I have a java program that has photos in it; can I add an Adobe "place" button (screenshots below for clarification) to send that photo or a link to a photo to an Adobe program such as Illustrator or Photoshop?
Is there an Adobe API for Illustrator or Photoshop that will let me do it?
Cheers! :)

The easiest approach would be to start the app with the file as an argument if it accepts them. Otherwise you could try to get a COM interface to the native app and access that through a Java-COM bridge

Thank you. I am quite new to programming so could you explain what a "COM interface" is and could you point me in the direction of an COM interface for Adobe Illustrator?
Many many thanks!! :)

Looking under http://www.adobe.com/devnet/ I have found some "useful" information... but I still can't find a reference to the "place" function as described above... :S
I'm not aware of an available api to achieve that sorry
