Dragon and PDF documents
Submitted by Andy on Thu, 09/01/2005 - 09:02.
Does anyone have any good tips for using Dragon and Adobe Acrobat (Reader)?
I do a lot of searching for documents in Academia and often I have to click on links that open PDF documents in Internet Explorer. That sucks a big one, of course. You can use the "move up X" (and down) command in that scenario, but I suspect the ice age will arrive sooner.
The only trick I've come across is the utility of directly opening PDF documents into Adobe Acrobat. At least in that program, you can use the "page up" (and down) command. I suspect there are more commands that work in Adobe Acrobat, since I have often inadvertently mumbled something that sets the page off at a tangent, but I don't know what those commands might be.
Any ideas?

Any thing that you say in Adobe Acrobat that triggers what appears to be a command is random. There are no commands for Adobe Acrobat in DNS. The only DNS commands that might apply to Acrobat are the Global commands and the menu commands (MSAA - Microsoft Active Accessibility).

Actually, let me thank you a whole lot more Scott. I took a look at Vocola Macros (my first time) and I was very impressed. I downloaded the various programmes to get it started and had it all working, including the Internet Explorer PDF file macro, inside of an hour. It probably would have gone quicker but I decided I would read a substantial amount of the help files first (just to get some more background on the programs). It wasn't completely perfect -- I probably have about 90 per cent of the commands in the macro working -- but that has still opened up a completely new world for me. I'm a very happy boy. I daresay I shall be looking at a few more of those macros at some stage in the future. Thanks very much.
