PDF Problem

[NiklasFranke]

Hello together,

currently i am more than confused. I managed to open a PDF and to Spy certain elements in that File because i cant just copy and read the clipboard in this case. After i run the process a second time, suddenly the element is not found anymore:

I just have one Process running so i dont think that is the reason

Also suddenly the Applicationmanager cant find the certain Fields in the File, it just can spy the whole file.

After i click manually in certain fields in the file, the Applicationmanager is able again to find the fields. Focus, Attach and Activate doesnt solve the Problem.

I Really dont want to Global Mouseclick and try to find the Fields in the PDF with X Y coordinates, so the spying process is working again. is there a better soloution?

Depends on the PDF.  If you have ever noticed a pop up saving a pdf in word about making your file more accessible.  Some PDFs have been designed and built with accessibility in mind and using the AA or UIA interface with such files should therefore be quick and reliable.  Unfortunately most people (myself included) just ignore that accessibility pop up so it is rare for the files to be accessible and you would then be right that other methods would be better
