Sharif,
I'm sure you are aware by now that scripting Acrobat is unlike any other
application you have ever attempted to script before. It has a syntax all
it's own.
My first recommendation is for you and anyone else interested in scripting
Acrobat to find the Acrobat SDK on Adobe's website and download it. It
contains a few scripting examples and a PDF of the dictionary. This PDF
contains a lot of syntax clues that are missing from the dictionary you can
reference via Acrobat's dictionary through your script editor. I found it a
good source for the following code which I hope will help get you over the
hurdle.
Code follows:
_________
tell application "Acrobat 5.0"
select text of AVPageView 1 from words {1, 99}
end tell
_________
End Code.
This snippet selects words 1 through 99 of the current document.
Hope you find this information helpful.
Kev
