WES,

The Export function in Acrobat 4.0 can be scripted with
an extension called Prefab Player <www.prefab.com>
I have 15 Macs at work running such a script and processing
2000 books/month.

As for Acrobat 5.0, it appears to be Adode's attempt
to emulate Microsoft Word 6.0. It's fat, slow and worst
of all, AppleScript is badly broken.

Regards,
Bob Anderson
