I am trying to perform a very simple task which isn't working and it is driving me crazy. I am trying to print a report in Adobe Acrobat by using CTRL-P to call up the print window. Here is an excerpt of my macro code:
/
/ Enter Ctrl-P to print the Acrobat report.
/
Press CTRL
Send Character/Text>P
Release CTRL
Wait>10
/
/ Press enter to select the printer and print
/
Press Enter
Wait>10
/
/ Quit Acrobat
/
Press CTRL
Send Character/Text>Q
Release CTRL
The macro goes through the motions but nothing prints. And instead of closing the document with CTRL-Q, the macro gets lost on the screen and the document remains open.
Any thoughts? This should be basic but I can't get it to work. Thanks.

A few thoughts.....
1. Can you print the document manually? PDF security can be set to prevent printing. If using Acrobat Reader, you can check that with File, Document Security.
2. Try using ALT-FP vs. CTL-P
3. Try using lowercase "p" vs. UPPERCASE "P"
