    Solved Adobe Reader

    Hi Anis, Just had a chat with Chris, who managed to solve the problem by realising when Adobe Reader launches, there are 2 processes in task manager. BP seems to be attaching to the background process and I am trying to spy the foreground process (the actual window) which is causing the spying...

    Solved Adobe Reader

    Ideally yes, using OCR since I've not used it before. I understand there are other ways of reading (may be helpful to learn those too), but I wanted to try using OCR (despite it being a less robust method).

    Solved Adobe Reader

    Hi, When launching Adobe Reader through Blue Prism and attempting to spy the window/any element I receive the message 'There was an error during the spying operation.' and no attributes are returned. Tried restarting BP and deleting the object, but still get the same results. I've defined the...

    Hi Rob, Yes mine is the same (apart from the value of the arguments being the path to the .bat file). Executing this action brings up the console, but it seems to be in an endless loop of copying files, throwing an error and then retrying Cheers, Rob Brooks

    Attaching to the desktop

    Hi Anis, The nearest I can get to launching the application is to use Run, since trying to use the 'Start Process' action seems to not be working for the batch file (launching the command console this way works fine). However, it seems that when I launch Run using BP, input the process name and...

    Attaching to the desktop

    Hi, Just experimenting with BP to broaden my knowledge in the hopes that if something like this comes up in the future, I will be well equipped to handle it. I wish to attach BP to the desktop or explorer.exe, and from then on work with cmd and/or run (since the application I am trying to work...
