It might be easier for you to use a simpler scripting language, like
bash. I realize that you're on Windows, but I've done a lot of neat
things to do PDF transformations in the past with bash and pdftk. In
addition to pdftk, there are a number of other open source tools for
manipulating pdfs (and I believe you can also use ImageMagick and
treat them as images). It might be worthwhile to install Cygwin and
explore this option.
