Hi,

I would like to know how to create a javascript format file which I can save to my Acrobat javascript directory so that I can easily use that option for any pdf with one click.
I tried it by pasting the script to notpad++ and saving the file as javascript format. When I moved that file inside installed acrobat javascript folder, I cannot able to see any option in my add on section in Acrobat.

Thanks in advance for help.

No. I don't know about addToolButton. I created it from notpad

You need to create a .js file with the addToolButton method of the app object and place it in the application's (or user's) Javascripts folder to achieve that. Is that what you did?
