Create Action to Delete a Specific Compound Path on a Folder of PDF's

I have a folder containing over 800 PDFs with identical specifications. When I inspect their layers in Illustrator, they're composed of two compound paths and a single path. I just need to open each file, delete the topmost compound path, save it, move on to the next, then rinse-and-repeat. Is there an action, or a set of actions, I could use to accomplish this automatically?
