As I remember, Acrobat monitors a directory and converts anything it finds there, so you don't need to script Acrobat at all, just script printing the documents. However, it sounds as though you are talking about running Acrobat on a server and his license probably doesn't permit that. Alternatively use OpenOffice: it will convert word documents to pdf or html and can be scripted in Python. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
