I am trying to trigger an Acrobat batch sequence, by using GUI scripting but
I have problems understanding why the button I like to click does not have
any effect
The AppleScript I am trying to run goes like this:
tell application "Acrobat 6.0.2 Professional"
activate
execute menu item 6 of menu "Advanced"
delay 2
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Acrobat"
click button "Kör sekvens" of window "Gruppbearbetningssekvenser"
-- English names are if I recall them correctly "Run sequence" and
"Batch sequences"
end tell
end tell
And while I can see that the button seems to be clicked, the click has no
effect. Same thing if I use the "Perform" button in the UI Element
Inspector, it looks ok, but does nothing.
The UI Element Inspector tells me:
<AXApplication: ³Acrobat²>
<AXWindow: ³Gruppbearbetningssekvenser²>
<AXButton: ³Kör sekvens²>
Attributes:
AXRole: ³AXButton²
AXRoleDescription: ³button²
AXChildren: ³<array of size 0>²
AXParent: ³<AXWindow: ³Gruppbearbetningssekvenser²>²
AXTitle: ³Kör sekvens²
AXWindow: ³<AXWindow: ³Gruppbearbetningssekvenser²>²
AXPosition: ³x=568 y=433²
AXSize: ³w=144 h=17²
AXEnabled: ³1²
Actions:
AXPress - tryck
I downloaded the demo version of Prefab UI Browser and I can see that it
doesn't list the Batch sequence window at all
What can I do to *really* click on the button? Or is it one of those
Adobe-specific things that will not work with UI scripting?
Any help is appreciated
