Hi, I am looking for either an automator action/workflow or applescript that will locate a hyperlink by finding text within a webpage and click on that link. I need this because the url is constantly changing. Thanks for any assistance.

Question

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

What you describe can be set up with a non-printing button. A button can be set up to have any size and appearance you want. In the Mouse Up event of the button you can use something like the following:
// Create the string to display
var msg = "This is the first line of text with two carriage returns at the end.\r\r";
// Add some more test to the string...
msg += "This is the third line with a single carriage return at the end.\r";
// ...and a bit more.
msg += "This is line 4\rand this is line 5.";
// Display the text in an alert with an OK button
app.alert(msg, 3);
For more information on the app.alert method, see: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.135.html
There are a number of other ways to implement this type of thing, but see if the above approach works for you. If not, post again and we can make other suggestions.
