Automate Indesign With VB.NET

Hi,

I need some advice from you. I will explain my current condition and suggest me the solution.

Currently We are using PageMaker 6.5 to create the packages, these packages contains all the PDF Documents links with Table of Contents.

using VB6 applicaiton, we are opening the created package file and printing the package file and closing the package file using DDE commands.

I wants to replicate the same thing in VB.NET. we are planning to replace Pagemaker 6.5 with some other product. We thought we might use Indesign.

Please suggest , how to automate the Indesign with VB.NET, and Is it suitable replacement for Pagemaker 6.6?

Thanks,
