You can convert your InDesign file to a pdf file, define a private data with [Stats.NumberOfPages], then re-inject your InDesign file (prev...

Re: Extract Private Data from Archived File
Exiftool is a great tool, but it can not be used with all kinds of files. Another solution: Gather all private data in an XML file, using the Private Data Extractor app, then archive the job + XML. The XML file can also be stored in the job folder, or you can create one with Archive Hierarchy. If yo...

Re: JS - Executes a menu command in Acrobat Pro
As far as I know, "reduce file size" is not available in Adobe Acrobat JS (ExtendScript).
You can use a PitStop Action list as Loic suggests.
There is also an app in your favorite Appstore, called Optimize PDF.
Give it a try!

Job sorter and spacer.png Both methods work fine, but you have to estimate the time it takes to process a job. And...
