Applescripting Metadata

I've found something interesting. I work with Quark PDFs. When I check the metadata (Document Properties in Acrobat 8 Prof.) I find colour in 2 separate portions. First, it's available in Description > Additional Metadata > Advanced > [link=http://ns.adobe.com/pdfx/1.3/]http://ns.adobe.com/pdfx/1.3/[/link] > XPressPrivate: %%DocumentProcessColors: Cyan Magenta Yellow Black ... Second I can find it in Custom (List: XPressPrivate %%DocumentProcessColors: Cyan Magenta Yellow Black ...

Colour contains all four separations (CMYK), whereas my spot (MAGENTA) is represented by (MK) and black and white is represented by either true black (K) or black (MYK). I'm wondering if it's possible to access this metadata by using Applescript?

Re: Applescripting Metadata

Why Yes, it is.  You need the Acrobat Inter Application Communication Reference.  Look here for this and related documents.

Click on the "Documents" tab and scroll down.
