Hello,

I'm trying to run Action Wizards from Adobe Acrobat DC, but when I try to use the Click UI element in Window feature it only ever selects the pane and not the actual buttons in Acrobat.

Can anyone help me figure out how to get Power Automate Desktop to run Action Wizards in Adobe Acrobat?

Edit the selector, just an example below.
Where it says contains Adobe, it previously had equal to "filename", hence the failure...
