I am not able to batch process a directory tree in Acrobat 8 as I was able to in Acrobat 4. Am I missing something or did that functionality change?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8.0999999999999996447286321199499070644378662109375, Windows

It's possible that there is a problem with permissions on the folders.

Thom,
I am not sure what batch proces you are running that works, but I again tried and Acrobat would not let me select a folder-only files.

The steps I took were:

1.) In Adobe Acrobat 8.1.1 under advanced/document processing/batch processing I select new squence

2.) name the squence "NewSubsTest"

3.) select commands\document\OpenOptions\ADD

4.)change open options to
- intial view=page only
- page layout=single page
- open action- page 1
- open action- magnification= fit to width

5.) Back in the edit batch sequence of commands, #2 run commands on =select when sequence is run

6.) Select output location=same as originals

This is a batch process that I need to run several times a day on different sets of directories, many with files in sub-directories. I do not want to have to edit/save each time I need to run this on a different directory.

Help!
Thanks,
RoyHavlik

Is it possible to kick of a batch process defined in Acrobat from command line (DOS/batch program) ?
