In MS Word, you can write entire documents by > running Macros. Anything resembling that in Adobe for _javascript_?   _javascript_ can easily be thought of as a macro language the same way VBA is a macro language inside MSWord.  You can write entire documents with _javascript_ by using the Report object and the writeTest, and open method.  If you are using Adobe Acrobat 5.0 you can look at the Help - Acrobat _javascript_ Guide -  Report Object Section it gives an example of how you would do this.   A quick script to create a blank page that I use from the _javascript_ console window is:   rpt = new Report();  rpt.open("blank.pdf");   The default nature of the report object is to create an 8.5 X 11 in PDF page.
