Can I BATCH LOAD PDF files for conversion to Excel?

I have multiple PDF files I need converted to Excel. Can I batch convert them or do I have to do them one at a time?

You can use an Action in Adobe Acrobat Pro to convert your PDF files to Excel in one operation. To do that, create a new action (Tools>Action Wizard>Create new action...).

Then add the "Save" tool from Save&Export to your new action. Click on the "Specify Settings" button for your save tool and check "Export File(s) to Alternate Format" and select your output format.

Now you can run this action on a number of files, and all of them will be exported to Excel.

It works well (albeit slowly), but I don't see where you can empty the added files out of Acrobat Pro, once you're finished other than deleting one file at a time.
