Can anyone offer any guidance on scripting the batch sequences in Acrobat 5?
I am trying to convert PDF files to Jpg files and have run into a brick wall
with each step forward.
My first attempt was to use the Batch Sequences, much like Photoshop
actions. Acrobat's dictionary lists a "perform" command that states that you
can call a Batch Sequence, but my script fails because the sequence I call
to "doesn't understand the perform message". I can run this batch manually
'til the cows come home. It works great! I seem to be missing something in
my syntax that I am not finding in the dictionary.
This seems like such a simple script but it is driving me nuts!
Code below:
tell application "Acrobat 5.0"
activate
perform "Crop PDF& Save Jpg"
end tell
"Crop PDF& Save Jpg" is a batch sequence I created, but I get the same
dismal failure on any of the "built-in" sequences as well.
Prefer not to use interface OSAXEN if possible, I have explored several that
are not working either. I'm convinced that it should work, unless there is a
glaring oversight here on Adobe's part on what they included (or didn't
include) in their dictionary and/or scriptability.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Kevin
