With one frustrating exception: there's no way to create url hyperlinks.
Or have they addressed that in acrobat 6?
Anyway that's ok, it gave me a chance to dust off my c programming,
which I hadn't done any of for years.
The plugin api seemed daunting at first, but turned out to be
consistent, well-organized, and kind of fun to work with. Even though
it meant programming on a windows box for the first time in my life,
with Visual C++ with a German interface, which I don't really speak.
Or maybe it only seemed like fun because I'd been programming Quark
Applescript for a couple weeks beforehand.

Can someone provide some pointers on how to write and AppleScript

Not to be smarmy, (no really, not this time ;-), but if you want to
script
Acrobat, use javascript. The AppleScript support in Acrobat is pretty
bad.
Okay, REALLY bad. But the javascript support is really excellent. It's
more
excellent than the plugin support.
