I had this problem too, The only way I could find was to open the pdf with buddyapi wait for the ok that it opened properly (maybe add a short delay for slower machines) Then use baSendKeys to send key presses to the pdf.
as I remember, Ctrl+N to open the page number dialog, then the entry box is already selected, so send the page number you want to go to, then send the enter key as a 3rd command. Its a bit messy I know, but the only time we have trouble is if we don't leave a big enough delay for the pdf viewer \ application to open. hope you can do something with it, I'll be watching closely to see if a better solution presents itself Tim -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Nelson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 16 June 2004 13:48 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: <lingo-l> Open a specific page within a pdf There's always Impressario. -Daniel > Is there any way of opening a particular page in a pdf, not just > baOpenFile("pdf file", "Normal") but more like baOpenFile("pdf file", > "page 500", "Normal")?
