You're trying to track down who is using a particular Windows DLL? Try 
SysInternal's Process Explorer. Start logging before you do your PDF 
stuff, then stop logging, and use ProcExplorer's filtering abilities to 
search just for this dll name. That should show you how the DLL is used 
in the system, and by what app(s).
