Trigger pc keyboard keys?

Hi
Are there any commands for Max for Live to trigger pc keyboard keys?
Or maybe a better way?
I need this to scroll a notation software via Ableton Live while playing, or just to scroll a PDF with notes.

Nice, it works very fine.
The only thing that is a bit unpleasant is that it also sends the commands to LIVE before you switch to the desired window. But you can't have everything. ;-)

you can try to use active object to open gate
for keystrokes only when that window is in front.
If that is what you want.

You could also try [11globalForegroundWindow] to switch window focus before, if you need to scroll another app's window.
