Scripting Acrobat Web Capture: Does it Work?

So, I have the full Acrobat Professional 7.0.5 and would like to automate the web capture function. According to Acrobat's dictionary, this should be straightforward. So, I write my simple script:

	tell application "Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional"
		capture web page "http://www.macintouch.com"; into New Document
	end tell

Here's the error from the Result Log:

	tell application "Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional"
		capture web page "http://www.macintouch.com"; into New Document
			"Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional got an error:
			\"http://www.macintouch.com\"; doesn't understand the
			capture web page message."

	capture web page v : Capture a web page (or pages) and convert them
	into an Acrobat document

Does anyone have any experience scripting Web Capture in Acrobat? Is my syntax off? I don't understand the error. And what's with the backslashes (\) around the URL in the error message? Any pointers would be much appreciated. Below is the dictionary entry for Acrobat's web capture function.

	capture web page [string] : URL to convert to PDF
		into New Document/Current Document : the target file
		[EntireSite boolean] : True if you want to capture the entire website.
			If true, Levels, SameMachine, and SamePath are ignored
		[Levels small integer] : Number of levels to descend.
		[SameMachine boolean] : Stay on the same server while capturing.
		[SamePath boolean] : Only get pages under the same path.
		--> boolean : Returns true if the capturing could begin.
