You cannot access all these things through AppleScript. Many of them, but
not all, are accessible through JavaScript (which you in turn can call from
AppleScript)
However, your best option is to use Acrobat's built-in preflight tools. They
are infinitely more powerful than anything one is likely to be able to
achieve with scripting.
The preflight options can be run on multiple files using Acrobat's built-in
batch features.
You can also save a preflight profile as a droplet and use it for your
files.
I would also recommend upgrading to Acrobat 8, as these features are even
better there.
