Hi Paul, I just finished doing exactly that for the same reason (archiving documents). I wrote a Java program that can be called from the command line. It would probably need to be tweaked to suit your exact needs but I would be happy to share it and provide some help with customizing it. I'm away from my desk right now but I will follow up with you later today.
