headless mode

Hi all,

I'm curious does acrobat support headless mode? I'm not interested in viewing the results, just want to make sure the pdf file was opened, parsed & closed as quick as possible.

Thanks.

You can use the VBA API to run Acrobat hidden and send it commands to do things.

Hi Joel,

thanks, that's interesting.......any way this can be done in python?

I already have a ton of code written in python.

Thanks.

I'm not familiar enough with python to tell you but if python can communicate with other .NET apps, probably but there's no documentation on how that might work.
