Thank you for offering to make it useable in MS.

I wish to run a dll from within MS. This is the sample code for Visual Basic. How should I change it for MS? Public Declare Function GetPDFText Lib "PDFtext.dll" (ByVal FileName As String, ByVal opt As Long, ByVal target As String) As String . . . Private Sub option3_Click() ' Save the text-content ...

Thank you that made a lot of difference. A few more altertions and it is now working. Thank you.

I have noticed another problem. I am using the selectmenu command to move down the drop down menus. It seems to work at that point when debugging, but not when running it at full speed. It goes to the wrong item in the menu. The drop down menu has 2 faint dividing line, which the cursor does not sto...

As a result of your comment I am now further down my program. After the scan window opens another one opens as well called save. In it there is a box that can be accessed manually by ALT N. In my program below it does not go to the name box and highlight the contents. When it failed to activate the ...

Here is my script to automate the scanning of a document using finereader 8 pro. It does not work. Currently I can not get past the first waitwindowopen.

I am also finding my code is opening up the window task manager. This is not supposed to happen. 3. Pdff is strange in that the window is called pdffactory pro wh...

Unfortunately I am obviously doing something wrong when using debug, because even with the addition of the Let>WF_TYPE=0 I am still not getting the focus right. It is defaulting to opening the search menu in MSch. This problem is important to me because I need to step through the program. I would th...

Sorry but I can not get the focus right. The following causes ALT S in macro sch instead of pdff. What am I doing wrong? SetFocus>pdffactory pro* WaitWindowOpen>pdffactory pro* Press ALT //save button Send Character/Text>S Also someone advised me earlier of a macro that reports back the window name....

Thank you for your helpfull reply. I am well on the way to completing the macro. I am trying to debug part of the macro. In order for the debugger to run effectively I think I have to keep the focus of the macro on the program I wish to run. How do I do it when in order to debug I have to be focused...
