I want to process all the pdf files in a folder. On each file the same annotation needs to be placed, however the position may vary from file to file. Is it possible to creat a mutli file type process (like batch processing) but with the file opening and allowing the user to position the annotation, and then allow the process to proceed?
I guess I am thinking of a app/folder/menu js which will work thru a folder of pdf files placing an annotation but allowing the user to re-position before moving to the next file.

Just thought of something: there is a method called setTimeOut(), which allows you to postpone the execution of a script by a certain amount of time. *Maybe* that will work for what you described.

I'm ok with automation of the annotation, but the process must pause with the file open for the user to drag/size the annotation.
I can't see any way to use acrobat batch process, it doesn't pause for anything except an app.alert and then all you can do is OK it and off it goes.
I guess a way forward is to use my own file handling to step thru the files - but js can't seem to do that. Maybe I need to look at using VBA.

Maybe there's a way to automate the placing of the annotation as well? If you described what you want to achieve, someone might be able to help you.
