Process hanging after simulate click

[s0biesky (Raul)]

Hello, I use Adobe Acrobat DC Pro to click some buttons in a PDF file, the best way to do this is using simulate click because the button is not always on the first page. It clicks the said button but the process hangs afterwards, it wont go to the next click activity.
I’m using the latest “stable” activities not previews / beta.
Any thoughts?

Can you try using send window messages instead of simulate and see if the click is working.

Apart from that is there any specific activity that button does one clicked? and that involves any change on pdf?

cheers

Send windows message is not working with Adobe.
After the said click appears a pop up where the second click clicks on “OK”. But it won’t go to the second click

Did you try with both classic and modern activities?

and also is it possible to share the pdf to check from our end?

And also can you show the selector what you are using…try adding idx=‘1’ as one attribute in the last level of selector and check if that works

Eg: <ctrl name='Button' role='pane' idx='1' />

And apart from that can you try using hardware click…if the problem is that it is not auto scrolling…try using a set focus activity before click

I tried to use both classic and modern activities.
Adding idx=‘1’ did nothing.
Hardware click is working properly but for that it needs to see the button.

One of the PDFs.
You have to click on “VALIDARE” which in this case is on the last page.
Then it appears some pop ups.
And then you have to click on the blue box above the text “Semnatură”
Don’t forget to open it with Adobe Acrobat DC

Please check this…the click is hanging because there is some script running after click and the script is ending only after clicking ok on the pop ups…so we have to use a parallel activity to perform clicks simultaneously…Attaching a project for reference…

Try running it and check …just keep pdf open and use it…

Check pdfclick.xaml

Hope this helps

It is working fine using the set focus. I’ll try using the parallel activities if set focus fails during the stress test.
Thank you!
