BIZARRE APPLESCRIPT ISSUE

Feedback Type:  Developer Note

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 6-12 months

Recommend Product: YES

Okay, so I've been getting a lot of feedback on this, and while I'm trying to figure out a fix, I'm not sure if I can.

If you have both Acrobat *Reader* and Pro installed, there is a chance, depending on (I *think*) how your system is configured, that the first time the script runs, AppleScript will go "oh, THAT'S not right" and try to open up the email in *Reader*. This of course incorrect. So far, it's only happened with Acrobat 7 Pro.

The fix is, open the script in Script Editor, or whatever environment you prefer, and go to line 233, and make sure it reads:

tell application "Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional"

save it, and it should remain unchanged from there on out. I'm working on a more permanent fix, but for now, that's the workaround. Thanks, and sorry about all that.
