Acrobat 9 Pro - Will it print to pdf with embedded pdf's from Word 2007?

Question

Hello All,
We're considering upgrading to Acrobat 9 Pro or Extended.  One of our concerns is whether it will handle the following:
1. We create very large documents and we like the ability to use OLE of existing PDF documents imbedded into Word 2007 which causes a new PDF window  to open up from the imbedded PDF.  It also displays nicely as an icon or the cover page within Word.
2. The challenge is when printing (distilling) that master document with any imbedded PDFs, the icon or cover page is displayed, but the OLE feature goes away and does not recognize the imbedded PDF any longer; Acrobat simply treats the imbedded PDF in Word as any other page in the distilling process.
3. We're not wild about bookmarking or linking to another PDF.
Does Acrobat 9 Pro or Extended resolve this issue?

Answer 1

The options availible for scripted print settings are all shown in the entry for "PrintParams" object in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference.  Have you looked to see if these options fit your needs?  If they do, and if the script can detect which PDF requires which options, then  you're in business.  But if the options you need are not there, then your only option is to set the batch process to display the print dialog for every PDF.
