title: Running Acrobat with Python
body: <p>I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro to extract information from PDFs in XML format. Acrobat does this particularly well. I want to extract information from about a thousand documents and do stuff with that information, so using Acrobat by hand would be annoying. Are there plugins to call Acrobat functions (i.e. save as XML) from any common language, ideally Python?</p>
