Unsure how to start


Here's the situation:

Some dude working in my company needs a program that does this-

- There are over a 100 PDF files in some folder on a Mac Machine
- The program to be written is supposed to invoke Adobe Acrobat
Professional 7 (Mac version) and open each file from the directory
- Once each file is opened in Acrobat 7, it is supposed to push Alt + E
(or similar) and then 'n' (or similar) in order to enable commenting on the
PDF file.
- The program is then supposed to push Alt +F and then 'S' to save the
file
- This is to happen for all the files in that folder.

Someone supposedly told the dude that this script in Perl was easy to write!
But, un/fortunately, I have no idea where to begin. All I know is that, if I
am doing it on a PC, I need to add the Win32 package and then study sample
programs which should get me going some place. But, I don't know if Win32
would work on Mac or if there is an easier way to approach this!

I would be grateful for suggestions / directions on how to proceed.

Thanks,

Vince
