VBA Scripting for Illustrator: Open page of multi page PDF file

[gabeS1234]

I'm writing a VBA script to automate the editing of some ~600 pdf files.

I declared my illustrator application object as iapp.

I can open the file I want to edit using: iapp.Open(filePath), but that triggers Illustrator to open a dialog box asking me which page of the PDF I want to open.

How do I:

     a. open a specific page of the PDF using VBA

     b. use VBA to press OK on the dialog box

There's a PageToOpen propertly listed in the scripting reference that it looks like you could use. the document gives this example:

'Opens a multi-page PDF file to a specific

'page using the PDFFileOptions object

'filePath contains the full name and file path of the file to open

Sub pdfFileOptions(filePath)

Set appRef = CreateObject("Illustrator.Application")

With appRef.Preferences.PDFFileOptions

.PageToOpen = 2

.PDFCropToBox = 5 'aiPDFBoundingBox

End With

Set docRef = appRef.Open(filePath, 1)

End Sub

incidentally if you don't already have the reference it can be found here:

Ok, I finally got it working.  In addition to the code you posted you need to add the line:

appRef.UserInteractionLevel = aiDontDisplayAlerts

Otherwise it throws some bullshit error about "unkown open setting"
