Does anyone use AHK with Adobe Acrobat Pro? (self.ahk)

Using Window Spy, Acrobat Pro doesn't appear to have button IDs to use with ControlClick. I can't find shortcut keys for almost any of the actions, and trying to navigate through the buttons with F6 and tab seems like a no-go too. The only ways I see to do this are to hardcode button positions or use or ImageSearch, both of which I find don't work well because coordinates change with window resizing or different resolution displays.

Does anyone have a different approach or know of a way to handle different displays and window sizes? In particular, I want to activate "Visually digitally sign".

I'm perceptibly a bit late to this post, but that's only because I recently learned that this community existed at all.

Anyway, I use Acrobat Pro but I'm not sure of what "visually digitally sign" is unless it has to do with that stamp/signature pane. I am inexperienced with ControlClick, though, so I don't think I could be of much help to you there.

coordinates change with window resizing or different resolution displays.

So set dynamic coordinates for every single possible window. If you're using AHK to resize, then I would imagine it would only be to a few specific windows at most, and you could link the sizes to their own unique coords each time.
