Solved the immediate problem with a combination of winclose("Adobe Reader") Winwaitclose("Adobe Reader","",30) Now I just hope that I don't get something bigger than 30 seconds to save as... Still looking for a way to get the information about the control that Reader pops up during the save.

I am working with PDFs and need to do a save as text. Some machines have Adobe Acrobat, while others have only Adobe Reader. After a save to text, and completeing the requisite save-as information, Adobe Acrobat 7 displays a progress bar in the status bar. I wait for that control to disappear and then continue. This part works fine. Adobe Reader 8.1.0 displays a similar progress bar in a small pop-up but I can't see to identify that popup as a control. Active Window Info seems to report only on the window underneath the progress bar. Ideally I would like to wait for the progress control to go away. I guess I could do something like try to rename, or move it - failing until the Adobe save as is complete. Any ideas on the control, or alternative ways to solve this would be appreciated. Thanks BTW- after 3 years of working with AutoIt this is my first post here.
