Very interesting, but I'm not sure what I'm looking at. How
does _javascript_ communicate with the Acrobat application? Via
Apple Events?
Is your point that _javascript_ is sometimes easier to code than
AppleScript, or rather that _javascript_ can do things with the Acrobat
aplication that AppleScript cannot?
