If the file is corrupt then you can't run a script on it... Also, 400K files is too much for Acrobat to handle.

You need to use some kind of custom-made standalone application to do it. Such an application could generate a list of any files it was not able to open, for example, while Acrobat will probably just halt the process, or crash, when arriving to a corrupt file.
