I am running a batch file to convert PDF files to PDFA. For some files pop up window with "The dimensions of this page is out of range" will generate. I want to skip all pop up windows which stops my batch processing.

    This isn’t code and has no such option. If a function puts out a message, then batch actions will put out the message. Just click OK to continue.

    No, popup windows will pop up. Acrobat is an end user tool designed for VERY light duty automation. It isn't the right tool for this job.
