Yes, I just dropped one onto AppleScript
and had a look at the code.
Interesting though, each different droplet
I looked at in Script Editor has the exact same code inside. How does Acrobat
know which preferences to use (report type/preflight profile/etc)?
I tried renaming one of my profiles
to "XXX" to see if it referenced the name of the file (when the
droplet was created) as a reference but the droplet still ran as expected.
Coj
ps. This is what I have in each droplet:
--
This droplet processes files dropped onto the applet
on
open these_items
try
process_item(these_items)
end
try
end
open
--
this sub-routine processes files
on
process_item(this_item)
tell
application "Finder"
set
myPath to
path to me
end
tell
tell
application "Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional"
activate
«event PRFLPRFL» this_item
given
«class PATH»:myPath
end
tell
end
process_item

These "droplets" are applications, so you can use the Finder's
"open <alias
of PDF> using <alias of droplet>".
You can also open them in a script editor and you'll see handlers that
show
how to script Acrobat to use them directly -- they actually work by running
Acrobat scripts; the key is to know the path to the droplet.
