I've been using applescript (on a macintosh) to control acrobat to merge

Here's the script....has anybody else seen this?
tell application "Acrobat 4.0"
activate
open file "mydoc"
open file "myotherdoc"
insert pages document "mydoc" after 1 from
document "myotherdoc" starting with 1 number of
pages 1
end tell
Yes, I'm sorry to say, I've just been bitten today. I hadn't read
this thread when you posted it, but judging from the lack of
responses, not too many people had tried this.
I just moved a script I had for Acrobat 3 to a machine with 5, and
the "insert pages" command is, as you observed, very broken. I tried
every reference form under the sun, and nothing. Errors all round.
The dictionary shows the syntax for that command to be exactly the
same in both versions of Acrobat.
