Since the Import Options dialog is not displayed when the program is driven from an automation script, an options string can be specified in the script. The string consists of comma-separated parameters, which specify the behavior of the various import options. A typical example would be:
"Resolution=300, WhichPage=7"
This would set the resolution of the images in the PDF file to 300 DPI and imports only page 7.
