How can i Automate Adobe Pdf

Hi I have created an Action Wizard that deletes all the pages except for the first one. I have created a button for this action, however I still have to press start. Is there a way of just clicking that button, then it carries out the wizard steps and then actions the email button ?

To do that you can use a folder-level script which adds a menu item or toolbar icon. Then you could run it with a single click.

An Action requires clicking the Start button.

If all you do is delete pages and then mail the file, then yes, a script can do it.
