  1. I have played around with Alt+v and the timing. I use to use Acrobat 7 and never had a problem with macros. I assume you are talking about javascript for other ways. I've never tried that. Going to have to start from scratch if I do that.
  2. I cannot get a macro to run in Adobe Acrobat X Pro. Trying to stamp and sign a document. The macro was running in the past with Adobe Acrobat X Pro but it stopped working. I have disabled all the lines in the macro in attempt to debug, but nothing works. I want to select the menu option View-Comment-Annotations In Adobe, I can manually type Alt-v-m-a. In Macro Express Pro I am doing this: 1. Textype <Alt> 2. Textype v 3. Textype m 4. Textype a (I disabled the remaining lines until I can get this much to work again) I activate the macro with Alt-S When I run the 4 lines above, Acrobat wants to insert a "Article Box". I have no Idea why. Is anyone using Macro Express with Adobe Acrobat Pro? Thanks Bill
  3. Just found this thread Terry, I was thinking of doing the same thing. Did you make any progress on the project?
  4. You are right. I can store more in a variable. The variable gets truncated using this.... <VARIABLE SET STRING Option="\x05" Destination="%T1%" _ENABLED="FALSE"/> to set the variable T1 to the window title. It works for short filenames so I assumed the variable length was the problem. So let me backup. 1. If I go to the address bar and copy there. (alt-d gets to the address bar) I can get the variable set correctly. Figured out another method to try: "alt-shift-n" creates a new folder in the current explorer window (don't need the pathname). Just rename the new folder to T2 Thanks Cory
  5. Cory, both those methods can get the filepath into the copy buffer. My problem is I cannot store the copy buffer to a variable because the string length is too long. I need filepath and filename stored as variables for the "Create Folder" method to work. My file server has extremely long path names. For now I just drag the folder to drive C:\ run the macro and then drag it back.
  6. Having problems. This is what I want to do: Create a new folder in the current folder and name the new folder the same as a selected document. Start the macro while in a windows folder and with a document (in that folder) selected. 1. Variable set string %T1% to topmost window title. This sets the variable to the path of the current folder, but if the pathname is over 96 characters it truncates and does not work. Can I increase the length of a variable or is there a better way to obtain the current path? 2. Text Type <F2> this edits the currently select document filename. the part of the name I want to copy is highlighted (in windows7 the filename less the extension is highlighted) 3. Clipboard Copy 4. Variable set string %T2% from the clipboard contents T2 is the name I want to use for the new folder. 5. Create folder %t1%\%t2% This works, but only if the filepath string length (from 1 above) is not too long. Please help with 1 and 5 above. (or is there a better method?) Thanks Billy
  7. Got it fixed. I increased the delay time to 1.0 seconds and it is working. I upgraded from Acrobat 9 to 10. I cannot believe the changing they did to the keystrokes to activate commands.
  8. Hello first post here. I have a problem with a macro I invoke while using Acrobat Pro X. I start the macro from a dialoge box called "Sign Document" inside Acrobat. The macro tabs thru the fields, enters a password, tabs again to the Sign Button: Text Type (simulate keystrokes) <TAB><TAB>password<TAB><TAB><TAB><TAB><TAB><TAB> The line above works. I then do a enter to click the button. Text Type (simulate keystrokes) <NUMENTER> The line above also works. It brings the "Save As" dialog box. Whith focus in the File Name field. Here is where I have a problem... I want to tab twice to the save button and click to save: Text Type (simulate keystrokes) <TAB><TAB><NUMENTER> For some reason the macro will not execute the above line. Focus stays in the File Name field in the "Save As" dialog box. I tried debuging using breakpoints and step, but when the "Save As" dialog box appears, the <TAB> macro commands do not work. I changed my scope to global. still does not work. I put a delay before the problem line (Delay:0.5 seconds) did not work. Any suggestions appreciated. Bill
