I'm pretty comfortable using VBA to automate MS Word and Outlook. I'd like to learn how to control Acrobat, in an analogous manner, using javascript (instead of VBA).

Optimally, I'd also like to learn how to use VB.Net to initiate javascript routines.

Does anyone know of any books (for beginners) that would teach me javascript for Acrobat, so that I could use it to automate Acrobat
professional 8?

Thanks, marceepoo
