Adobe acrobat 7 official javascript reference

While creative professionals spend much of their time working on illustrations, photo-editing, and laying out pages, many parts of their jobs are anything BUT creative. Too often, they spend their time doing repetitive production tasks such as placing and replacing images, correcting errors in text, cutting and pasting, and preparing files for printing. Yet virtually every repetitive or time-consuming task that creative professionals have to do in the Creative Suite can be streamlined with the help of a script. Creative Suite 2 was designed with built-in JavaScript support, and its applications share a framework that make them work well together, so users can create and send scripts and data from one application to another. This book describes how to use JavaScript to manipulate and extend Acrobat within 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.
