Scripting Acrobat Pro

I am hoping someone knows how to script Acrobat Pro.

I am trying to find what page in the frontmost PDF the user is looking at.

The following script finds out the name of Window 1 (which is frontmost)

tell application "System Events" to tell process "AdobeAcrobat" to set wndw to get name of window 1

This script gets the page number being viewed of Window 1

tell application "Adobe Acrobat Pro"
	get page number of PDF Window 1
end tell

Unfortunately, Window 1 in the second script is not the same as Window 1 in the first script. So I can find the page number of the PDF being viewed in Window 1 of Acrobat but I cannot be sure that Window 1 in that scenario is the window at the front being currently viewed.

Anyone have any suggestions to solve this?

Many thanks

	get page number of PDF Window 1 of active doc
end tell

Just worked out this

tell application "Adobe Acrobat Pro"
	get page number of PDF Window of active doc
	--get active doc
end tell

Which does the trick.

Same as Stefank :slight_smile: (or almost)

Many thanks
