Adobe Acrobat 7 Official JavaScript Reference

by Adobe Systems Inc.

Are you a creative professional? Do you spend too much time doing repetitive production tasks such as placing and replacing images, resizing them, dragging them from one document to another, and preparing images for printing instead of being creative? Do you use Adobe Acrobat and have some experience with scripting? Then this book is for you.
Virtually every repetitive or time-consuming task that creative professionals have to do in the Adobe Creative Suite can be streamlined with the help of a script. This book describes how to use JavaScript to manipulate and extend Acrobat within Adobe Creative Suite 2, and provides reference information for the JavaScript objects, properties, and functions defined by Adobe's applications. Now available in print for the first time, this scripting reference provides the information experienced JavaScript users need to create custom scripts for Acrobat, whether you're looking to auto-convert high-resolution PDF files to low-res JPEGs or need to create a script that takes all newly modified Word documents in a folder and converts them to PDF. Even if you have to perform a series of tasks across multiple applications to get your work done, it's very likely that you can create a script to help you streamline your processes and save you time.
