Acrobat batch sequence: Javascript editor pops up for each file in the Process directory.

Hi,

I've written a JavaScript batch sequence with acrobat 8 Pro.  

Each Time I run a JavaScript contained in the sequence the JavaScript editor pops up and you must click "OK" then it processes the file. I'm dealing with hundreds of files at a time so clicking a button 100 times is just a waste of time.  

Thanks for any assistance,

Josh

The Code Creates a field and puts the file name  in the field here is the code:


var inch = 72; 
 
// Position a rectangle & assign attributes
var aRect = this.getPageBox( {nPage: 0} ); 
aRect[0] += .15*inch;            // from upper left hand corner of page. 
aRect[2] = aRect[0]+4*inch;    // Make it 2 inch wide 
aRect[1] -= .15*inch; 
aRect[3] = aRect[1] -18;       // and 24 points high 
         
// Getting the name of the file
var strpath = this.path
var number_1 = strpath.lastIndexOf('/') + 1 
var number_2 = strpath.lastIndexOf('.') 
var myName = strpath.substring(number_1, number_2)  

//Adding Field with 
var f = this.addField(myName, "text", 0, aRect ) 
f.value = myName;

Thanks a bunch You would have though they would have made that a little more obvious, this saves me some mouse clicks on a bunch of other sequences as well.
