I'm using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Pro. How do you use batch processing to get a javascript to execute in the footer of a pdf when the file is printed?

In short, you don't.

Easiest way would be to build up a set of form field text objects to create the footer how you want it to look. Then flatten the document as part of the final step.

To do all this on a print operation - there used to be (foggy recolection time) an 'onPrint' event you could use to trigger this. It is not in the A8 JS documentation.

Your milage may vary.
