Hi everyone,

Trying to do simple thing in Blue Prism as send "Ctrl+O" to Acrobat Reader application.

In Navigate object added Application top level object and then use "Global Send Keys", in Text parameter define "<{CTRL}O>{CTRL}".

When executed I get an error "Keyword "CTRL" is not valid."

Any help? Seems something very basic, but not sure where to dig as all seems correct.

Thank you!

Check with "^O" or "^o"

(It is upper case alphabet O or small case alphabet o.)

Ensure to have the appropriate focus on the Acrobat window.

Don't mix Global Send Keys and Global Send Key Events

Refer to either @boulay or @VJR for respectively Global Send Key Events or Global Send Keys

Thanks everyone for your valuable feedback.
It was actually the problem with focus as @VJR mentioned.
I added "Window" as object in application and used "Activate application" and then it worked with Global Send Keys Events.

Also, there IS a difference between "^A" and "^a" in Global Send Keys for a Window element. It's case sensitive.
While "^A" achieves nothing, "^a" will do the job, in my case meaning selecting all the files in a dialog box.
