Dear Sam Gold, Instead of a Javascript loop for timing there are the app.setTimeOut(), and app.setInterval() methods that you can use to wait for the user. If you wanted when you wake up from your wake state you could ask the user if they have finished with the app.response() method. Otherwise instead of waiting you might want to launch the signature pad program then prompt the users to tell you they have finished signing with an app.response() action that way you don't have to worry about fast signers waiting for your page or slow writers not finishing in time. You can add the Javascript app.response action after your open file action in the Mouse Up actions for your button. Good Luck, Sam Brenner >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/07/03 08:50:51 >>> Hello all, This is my first time posting to the list so I hope somebody can help me out. I have a pdf that I want to use a signature pad with. I have figured out how to do that, but it is not pretty. What I am currently doing is the end user presses a button. Using an action that opens an .exe file that opens the signature pad. They sign the pad and then it saves their signature as a bitmap. Then I have some JavaScript that runs from the same action and sets an icon for another button to the signature bitmap. First I have a for loop to make the JavaScript sleep until the signature pad finishes. Sometimes the loop finishes before they are done with their signature. So what I want to do is use Java or JavaScript to execute the .exe file. Can you run java from the JavaScript in Adobe Acrobat 6 or can JavaScript execute a file? Any help would be greatly appreciated, the adobe site is of very little use so far...:( Thanks, Sam Gold To change your subscription: http://www.pdfzone.com/discussions/lists-pdf.html
