I have 900 PDF files in a directory. I need to export each of them to an Accessible Text file which I can do by opening each file using Acrobat 9 Professional choosing option File->Export->Text->Text(Accessible).

Is there a way I can do all of them at once, by using Advanced->Document Processing->Batch Processing options. I tried that, but did not see an option while creating a new sequence. I saw choice of Export All Images as JPEG, PNG, TIFF.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Acrobat Pro 9.0, Windows

Did you look at the 'Output Options' button of the batch processor?

gkaiseril is right - you simply need to define a new batch process with nothing in it, press the "output options" button and choose Text(Accessible) from the alternate format list.

It may be a little obscure, but the output options dialog is the way to do any and all batch conversion work.
