I am trying to automate some non-trivial task* with Adobe's Acrobat XI.
I think the way to go is using Acrobat's IAC, which seems to be well-documented, eg. here.
However, I could not figure out how to access the application object, eg. from within an HTA. I mean: How do I get the app object mentioned in the API documentation?
It feels like I am missing something very obvious. However, I have been searching and trying unsuccessfully for quite a while now.
Alternatively, any other suggestion how to perform complicated stuff (see footnote) in Acrobat is appreciated.
*The task is concatenating 1 to n JPG files into a PDF/A document (like, tens of thousands of times). The mapping is given through a TSV file or something alike. The requirement of generating PDF/A which pass Adobe's validation forces me to use Acrobat, at least for this last step.
Are you using .net? Are you missing a reference to IAC?
try: SET gApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
