If I had fifty PDFs, I'd look at scripting the result immediately. I had six, and I had Acrobat. I chose the GUI option, and it got me a decent result quickly enough. A code analogy: it's a bit like how O(n^2) sort algorithms are the fastest for small n, and how most library sorts choose a different algorithm for different `n`. This is what I meant in my initial comment when I said > Sometimes, the trade-off is not so clear.
