Scripting Acrobat OCR

Hello:

I am new to this list and I'm looking for some help with applescript
and Acrobat.

My office has a copier that scans documents and then emails the
document as a pdf.  I would like to create an applescript which takes
the emailed pdf attachment (via an applescript/mail.app rule), opens
Acrobat, performs OCR, and then saves the pdf to a folder on my
desktop as a searchable image pdf.

I have run across two issues.

1. Finding a way to separate the pdf attachment via applescript and mail.app.

2. Accessing the OCR function in Acrobat via applescript.  I find no
reference to it anywhere.  Maybe there is no way to implement this?
Perhaps another avenue would be to look at engaging the batch function
in Acrobat.  I don't see any way to do this either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Chris Johnson
