A Question on your CS6 documentation?

Hey AI (CS6),

I am referring  your documentation Adobe Illustrator CS6 Scripting Guide (PDF, 788k) English at your site:

In Page 22: You have mentioned as follows:

“CreateObject launches Illustrator as an invisible application if it is not already running. If Illustrator is

launched as an invisible application you must manually activate the application to make it visible:”

I tried in my VB script (also VB.NET) Program creating the application object as CreateObject("Illustrator.Application.CS6"), during this step its creating the application object and also launching the Illustrator application (or IDE) in visible, which is contradicting your documentation above in green. Is there any setting I need to perform in Registry.

BTW: You also have wrong hyperlink/url  for the French version (instead of CS6 you CS5)  Adobe Illustrator CS6 Scripting Guide (PDF, 793k) French. This is very basic thing to double check when you bring a product in to the market part of supporting, I don’t know how guys could neglect like this

Srini, this is a user-to-user forum, if you feel like letting them know, it would have to be in some other way.

I have forwarded the e-mail to the concerned department to check this.

@CarlosCanto , could please confirm weather Srini is doing something wrong or is it documented wrong in the Scripting Guide.
