Add Open File Link Example

[docu-track99]

Any possibility of getting an example of how to call the new Add "Open a File..." link command id 36497 from vb.

You can use JS (for example):

Code: Select all

var p = 0;
var b = this.getPageBox("Crop", p);
var l = this.getLinks(p, b);
for (i = 0; i < l.length; i++) 
  l[i].setAction("http://www.google.com");

Pass this script to RunJavaScript routine.
Also you can add new link(s) by 'Doc.addLink' method (see more in http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdf ... erence.pdf).
All supported JS-features are specified in our ActiveX-Help.

Thanks for the reply, but I need to pass parameters like when using manually the 'Open a File..." dialog from link properties->Action. The javascript weblink example will not let me pass parameters.

One additional note to clarify. What I am asking for specifically is an example using 'DoVerb' with this Named Operation/Object.

I understand You, but it is impossible in the current version. You can try (as workaround in current version) use "file://.." URL for open a local file.
In one of the future builds we are planning to realize special features for add, modify annotations (and links) through the DoVerb routine.
Also we are planning to support Adobe-plugins in the near future. Please be patient.
