I would like to write some macros against the Adobe Reader app for things I frequently do that are slightly labor intensive . Is there any way to automate the front end of the Adobe Reader interface as there is to automate Excel with VBA?

If not, is there a different app that comparable to Adobe Reader that will read PDFs, and allow me to write macros against it?

Or is there an app that reads PDFs and has a scripting language?

Javascript - of course...but how about some sort of macro recorder (scripting seems to take me forever)...?
