Is the Batch Sequence feature available to Adobe Acrobat X Standard users or is this a Pro feature?

If this feature is not available in Standard, are there other ways I could execute JavaScript to change multiple PDFs?

It looks like some people put .js files in the Javascripts directory of Acrobat, but I don't want to run my script on every PDF I open.

Any suggestions?

Batch sequences are a Pro feature only.

To process multiple files using a script in Standard you need to know their

names in advance, and they need to be disclosed.

Thanks for the clarification that Batch Sequences are in Pro only.

Do developers create stand-alone programs that apply the JavaScript to the PDFs, or are they just running JavaScript in the Acrobat console that calls the named and disclosed files?

Could you point me to any examples on the web where people are applying JavaScript to multiple PDFs in Standard?

I don't quite understand the first question, and as for the second I don't know of any online examples.

I developed some scripts like that, but it's usually easier to just get Pro...
