As it happens, "Preflight" is a command in the Acrobat 8 batch sequence editor. This would be the best way to automate preflight in Acrobat.

The company the designed most to the Acrobat Preflight fucntionality is Callas software(http://www.callassoftware.com/callas/doku.php/en). Take a look at thier site, they've got lots of tools.
