I take it that batch sequence is like a macro in other software products. Why is it, apparently, so limited in Acrobat? I'm in need of a macro or something that will take a .pdf document of a certain number of pages and extract specific pages (designated page numbers) to multiple separate .pdf docs all in one swell foop. Is there any hope?

It is indeed like a macro, and many macros involve programming. What you want is possible in a batch sequence that uses JavaScript, designed around the doc.extractPages method.

Here's a good introduction: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2006/batch_process

And you'll want the documentation: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/javascript_archive.php
