Open a PDF ... Export to XML ... Close the PDF ... From a batch file?

Is it possible to write a script and execute the script with a command line in a batch file to:

Open a PDF File
Export to XML
Close the File

I have a poor bugger at our company who does this manually every day

There has got to be a better way

Ideas?

Thanks

You can do this with a Batch Sequence in the Pro or Pro Extended version, if you're just using the Save As XML feature in Acrobat to export to XML 1.0. You just create a new sequence and select the Output Options ... button in the Edit Batch Sequence dialog. This will allow you to export your files to alternative format such as XML.

Ikassuba - Thank you for your answer ... I was also able to fully automate the process from the command line with the Evermap AutoBatch plug-in
