Thanks, Bill, for getting back to me. I have been capturing scans from
within Acrobat since version 8. What I really want to know (and
probably didn't make clear) is whether I can automate the process with
a Windows batch file (or, alternatively, vbScript) without actually
having to make the menu selections in Acrobat. I'm guessing that
Acrobat doesn't support any command line interface and thought I'd ask
those more familiar with its options than I am.
Thanks again for your help.
