Hi,

Thank you for your answer. I found the command with the utility.

I use the command AcroApp().MenuItemExecute("ADBE:Catalog").
This command creates the "index.pdx" but dosen't generate the index.

As it dosen't work, I want to use the command "DdeClientTransaction" with the following parameters :
DDE_SERVERNAME = "acroview";
DDE_TOPICNAME = "control";
DDE_ITEMNAME = "[FileBuild("index.pdx")]";

Is anybody having an example of this ?

Thanks for you help,
FTy
