Focusing Text Field Error

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 6
Hi everyone,

I have a flow that works in conjunction with Adobe Acrobat Reader to automate the process of filling a blank DIR-12 form with a list of DIN's taken from an excel file and stored in a variable.

The flow takes each DIN, inputs it into the appropriate field on the form, and then presses a button to gather the information generated, which is then stored into a new excel.

However, I'm encountering an error that is probably quite a simple fix. I'm using the focusing Text field action, and the issue is that it doesn't recognize one particular field at a time. Instead, I get a block encompassing all the fields, which is not ideal. And the issue arises every time I close and open the PDF.

Appreciate any inputs on how to fix this.

    Hi
     
    Just FYI, I think you want this for Desktop PA, better to place your question there.
