avApp.MenuItemExecute

[swapneel_kulkarni@adobeforums.com]

I am trying to execute a menuitem in Acrobat from an external application

In my code for executing the menuitem I have the following
AVDoc currentAVDoc = AVAppGetActiveDoc();
if (!currentAVDoc)
{
AfxMessageBox(_T("Open PDF File First"));
return;
}

It is always popping up the MessageBox when Acrobat is minimized, or sometimes also when Acrobat is the active application..

Can someone please advise

Thanks

Do you have a document open in Acrobat, or just the application open?

[swapneel_kulkarni@adobeforums.com]

The document is open in Acrobat

[swapneel_kulkarni@adobeforums.com]

When the document is opened and Acrobat is the active application,
if i click on the document( anywhere ) , It executes the menuitem
If i sit back and watch then i get the messagebox mentioned above

thanks for your replies

Correct. You can't execute menus in non-foreground applications. It's a security precaution.
