Using Javascript in Acrobat

[MarkC02]

I know little or nothing about javascript. I have a short script I fumbled through to use in Adobe Acrobat that allows me to create a button on many PDF files. Here is my problem:

The action I need to effect with the button is a simple 'open file'. My script works if I want to get to a URL by using the getURL. Now, if I could just replace the getURL with an open file statement of some sort, I'd be all set. Can you help?

Do you mean that you want to open a file in acrobat but you can only get it to open in IE?

A better explanation and the attached script does the trick...

I have over 1,000 PDF files already created. I need to create three buttons on every one, each sending a user of the PDF to a new PDF or web page. Basically I need to create the three buttons and their link characteristics/attributes and then duplicate the same three buttons on all 1,000+ PDFs.

The solution using Javascript within Acrobat follows in the attached file.

The Arts Link tool will let you copy multiple links and paste them on many pages. You can find it at http://www.pdfstore.com/details.asp?ProdID=104
it costs $300, but if you have a ton of pdf's with a lot of pages it would be worth it.
