Hi, there
Does anyone have any experience of the FindText() function? I was hoping to use it together with acrApp.MenuItemExecute "NewBookmark" to create a set of standard bookmarks. The API documentation claims that the function "Finds the specified text, scrolls so that it is visible, and highlights it" and it returns "True if the text was found, False if it was not." From my experience, though, it always returns True, and certainly doesn't scroll to the text or highlight it. In fact, all it seems to do is insert the find text in the application's search field.
Or am I doing summit wrong?

Dim acrApp, acrAVDoc
Set acrApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
Set acrAVDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
acrApp.Show
If acrAVDoc.Open(MY_FILE, "") Then
acrAVDoc.FindText MY_TEXT, False, True, True
etc...

thanks
