How to set Avdoc as ActiveDoc

Have you tried using the AcroExch.App.GetAVDoc() function?

Hi Thom,

Yes I have tried AcroExchApp.GetAVDoc(1) in my code and got the second AVDoc.
When I try AcroExchApp.SetActiveTool("Select", True) this tool is applied only to first AVDoc and not to second.

I tried to activate the second AVdoc by using the avdoc.BringToFront() but its not making select tool activate in second AVdoc.

Thanking you,
Abhijeet

Ahh, this is a tricky one. Yes, you have to call "BringToFront()". Acrobat 8 & 9 changed how toolbars for individual document are handled. It used to be that the same tool was selected for all documents, but now each doc has it's own individual setup. So be for making a tool active you have to be sure that the current document is the one you want. There is a delay between the time you call "BringToFront()" and the document actually becomes the active doc. Use a delay and the "getActiveDoc()" function to be sure before calling "SetActiveTool".Thom Parker
