1. Re: How to execute My Javascript code from command line or through perl or VB
George_Johnson Jan 21, 2013 10:29 PM (in response to SathishVelu)You can automate Acrobat using a VBScript or VB program. I've not seen anyone use Perl (or Perlscript with WSH). More information is available in the Acrobat SDK which you can download. The mechanism is known as InterApplication Communication, abbreviated IAC, so look for that in the documentation.

Test Screen Name Jan 22, 2013 1:21 AM (in response to George_Johnson)I should add something, since you mention Perl, and it's very often a server-side language.
Acrobat is NOT for server use. It is not technically suitable and no server license is sold. If you need this to happen on a server, you need a solution that isn't based on Acrobat. -

SathishVelu Jan 22, 2013 1:48 AM (in response to Test Screen Name)I am not asking for server,we have seperate license for individual systems, so that's not an issue,
Thanks

ruralqty Jul 4, 2013 6:53 PM (in response to SathishVelu)Hi Sathish,
did you find a solution for this? I am looking for the same thing. I want to write a program(perl, batch script, etc.) which could automatically convert pdf to excel without any manual intervention.
I have the acrobat javascript which could achieve this, but it can only be executed in arobat consolt. I need it to be able to get executed in a script to automate the processing.
thanks
Warren

Dave Merchant Jul 4, 2013 9:17 PM (in response to ruralqty)The Acrobat EULA (section 2.1.7.2) forbids unattended operation of the software.
