Re^3: GUI automation with Gtk

Sorry no idea how to analyze GTK, no practical experience.

Specifying the window geometry should always control the position of the dialogs and if you need more security you can always clip from a snapshot and compare the images.

But I doubt that automating acroread is always the best way to manipulate PDFs, if this is your intention...

Cheers Rolf

My problem is a generic one - the use of Acrobat is just an example. But as an aside: Is there any other way to extract the text from a pdf apart from using Acrobats "save as text" feature?	[reply]

BTW: CPAN is full of GTK moduls, did you search? And this review of Aristoteles Pagaltzis seems helpful. Cheers Rolf	[reply]
