Wonderware's InTouch 9.5 Undefiened Tags --------Help

Here's an example...

Animation link - Touch Pushbutton - Action:

StartApp "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe " + StringChar(34) + "C:\modsoft\Modsoft full screen.pdf" + StringChar(34);

Note the space after AcroRd32.exe


You should really have started a new thread for this question as it's unrelated to the thread title.

Krk,

What changed between Acrobat reader 7.x and 8.0 (other than the install directory)? I developed an application recently where I opened all manual PDFs for drives, I/O modules, etc, as well as PDF drawings from Intouch using the script above (minus the charstring(34)). It worked on 7.x but not on 8.0. What I discovered is that any PDF with a space in the filename would not open (Acrobat would open empty). Once I renamed all the filenames with no spaces, I was fine. I'd rather not have to do that next time. Is it something perhaps with using CharString(34)?

Robert,

The StringChar(34) are used to enclose the PDF file path in quotation marks (otherwise the first of these is interpreted by StartApp as the end of the parameter string)

Sorry, I don't know anything about any filename requirement differences between 7.x and 8 as I was working only from the opening parameters specification.

I dug up the 7.0 version of this document and they look look the same regarding enclosing the file path in quotation marks. (attached)

Thanks for the info...looks the same but definitely didn't work the same.
