Hello,

I want to get the path to a file executed in the active window. I know how to read the filename from title (Acrobat Reader - [Test.pdf]), but I need the full pathname of the file in the active Window (like: c:\documents\Reader\Test.pdf).

I tried also WMI. I got all information of the running Acrobat process, but not the path. Is it somehow possible - without using an extra DLL?

Thanks, Reinhard

Hello,

try

-File

-Document Properties

For the german version of Reader 7.x :

WinWaitActive ( "Adobe Reader - " )
Send ("^d")
WinWaitActive ( "Dokumenteigenschaften" )
$text = WinGetText ( "Dokumenteigenschaften"  )
Send ("{ENTER}")
MsgBox ( 0, "All i can get:", $text)

Hello,

Not really what I'm awaited, but real good. I didn't remember to this menuitem. I write/wrote a script that make fillable PDF-forms saveable with Reader only. Knowing the path makes it more flexible.

Because I have already to read text from a window/message box (field-names and field-values) I'm furtheron interested in a more direct solution. I'm realy astonished that it seems, I don't can get it via AutoIT or WMI.

Anyway, thanks Westi, nice idea and easy working solution.
