Batching PDFs and Javascript

Nevermind, found it:

The answer, by the way, is that you can know when you're processing the first one, but not the last one.

If you download the Batch Sequence examples, and run the "Count PDF Files" you will create a global variable that holds the file count for the number of files you want to process, global.FileCnt. So if one adds a local counter to one's batch processing script, one can determine if they are at the last file with a simple comparison. Not as straight forward as many batch processes, but having to run multiple batch processes to perform an entire process is not unheard of.

There is an initialization process to define some global variables and objects, the selection and processing of a group of files, and finally a closing to the global report object and displaying the results.

I've discovered that working with some of these global variables, and resetting them, and such, it's important to "uncheck" the Preference under Settings called "Enable global object security policy" so you can have all batches and files reset your globals, if necessary instead of only the ones creating them.
