With Acrobat 8 Pro, is it possible to use the SDK, JSObject, or some other method to convert and save a specified PDF in one of the comment summary formats (as you would do manually by selecting Comments | Summarize Comments...) without any user intervention?

OK, thanks.

I see that summarizing comments is possible by using a batch sequence. Could I invoke a batch sequence from, say, a VB.NET application or a batch file?

What I really need to do is: for a group of PDFs in some folder, detect which have comments, create comment summaries for the ones that do, add text to the upper-right corner of all PDFs (could be watermark or FreeText annotation), then continue to process the group from another program. Initiating the whole thing from the other program without user interaction with Acrobat would be ideal.

I'm just starting to learn what's possible, so I really appreciate any guidance to point me in the right direction.

Sorry - no way to invoke a batch sequence from VB.NET. You can, however, do so from a plugin.
