Thanks, Ginny! Using the Action Wizard is exactly what I have in mind. The files are already OCR'd so autotagging and language are what I'll be incorporating into the customized action.</div>

I really appreciate the link to the JavaScript guide! This looks incredibly useful and seems like the next step I need to explore. In particular, I'm interested in the ability to link to local databases, since it might offer solutions to the problem of building
 a batch action when a value unique to each file needs to be added to all of the PDFs' document headers.</div>

Also thanks for passing along the info that Acrobat can't run more than a few hundred files at a time through a batch action. Step 1 in my testing process was going to be figuring out the upper limit on files; now I have an idea what to aim for instead of randomly
 trying out batch sizes!</div>

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is creating a custom action to batch convert all of the PDFs off of the /A format, run the tagging, OCR, and language functions, then re-saving them all in the /A format again. Acrobat’s Action Wizard allows
 for custom actions which you can run on individual files or entire folders of files, and it’s pretty robust with what you can do with it. That said, it’s not something I have a lot of experience with, so I wouldn’t have anything else to offer outside of some
 supporting documentation.</p>

Hi all,</div>

I have a large group of PDFs that need to be brought up to accessibility standards. I'm using the Action Wizard in Adobe Acrobat DC to run auto tagging and language declaration functions, so we won't have to edit each file one at a time.</div>

The problem I've run into is that these files are all PDF/A's. Before making changes to any of them, you first have to click 'Enable Editing' after opening the file. So I need to set up a batch action to do this as the first step in the process. However, Enable
 Editing does not appear as an available process in the Action Wizard.</div>

I can understand why this is--it sounds like a really bad idea to undo PDF/A protections on thousands of files at once! But in this case, we have to do it to run actions that will make the files more accessible.</div>
