Acrobat and Powershell -- the basics of opening and working with PDFs with Powershell

Question

I've been refreshing/expanding my understanding of how to use the Acrobat Interapplication Communication OLE Automation in Powershell to work with PDFs.

I'd appreciate any feedback on the following code, which I view as the basics of creating the App, PDDoc, and AVDoc COM objects needed to open, work with, and clean up after working with a PDF. Are there better/more efficient ways to accomplish the same end?

(I had to paste the code in as an image because I didn't see a way to paste code in this editor.)

Thanks
