Hi Lynn,

What specifically are you trying to automate? Maybe I can try and help you find something (no promises, tho :-)

Thanks for the thought - the aim is to open a document and
either navigate to a known page or run a search. Useful-looking
methods look to be exposed, I thought...

I just came across the Acrobat module under wxPerl/ActiveX which
looks hopeful, unless you or anyone have alternative suggestions.

[OT] Paper books are far superior to PDF - I can bookmark any
page I choose, without having to pay extra for special paper
with foldable corners...

    Thanks - though the first is indicated valid in acrord32.dll these
    and anything else
    I tried thus far, return "Invalid class string"

    I'm starting to think Adobe have crippled the Reader API. Maybe time to
    try working with SendKeys... :-(
