I noticed an extra space in that Sub command, before the "2". It does not make a difference on a test that I did, but perhaps try removing it anyway.
From: sub>le, 2
To: sub>le,2

Also make sure you have no Trailing Space characters at the end of any of your lines. In the Editor, you can select Edit, Show All Chars, and Remove Trailing Spaces. Is a not-uncommon problem if Cut/Paste from the forum.

Hello Tim,

I notice your script attempts to open a PDF file. If it's the first time (after cold boot) you run Acrobat, 2 seconds are not enough to load the Acrobat. You may consider the following code (partial):

exe>c:\militarypac.pdf
Wait>0.1
WaitCursorChanged>10
WaitReady>1
Press Tab

Happy scripting.
