Draw rectangle using mouse event & giving link to rectangle in adobe reader

Your question is no longer related to your message subject. That may stop people who could answer from reading it.

Have you found the internal code of the menu item? These have no dependency on sub menus. You cannot just use the name you see on screen (you are lucky with "Open")

If your add on is in JavaScript see the documentation for methods of the app object, I'm sure there is a method to execute menu item by its internal code. This ONLY simulates a single menu click, it does not pass any parameters and there is no way to suppress UI.

To work with Acrobat XI download the Acrobat XI SDK if it is still available. The important thing is the SDK is full documentation, many thousands of pages you need to read. There are samples too, but only if a very few things. You will not find samples to adapt for every need, and they do not replace reading the documentation.

I am not sure why you keep mentioning editing Javascript. Plugins are written in C/C++. There is no alternative. The documentation tells you which IDE to use. A particular version of Xcode or Visual Studio for each SDK, be sure to get the right version.

The Acrobat SDK is a separate download. You are apparently testing with an old version of Acrobat and it will not be possible to develop plugins with that. So subscribe to or buy Acrobat Pro DC and download the SDK.

I don't know what you mean by the Adobe extended tool kit. Please be sure to give accurate product names and versions, we expect this from developers - especially there is no product called "Adobe" which you referred to. Nor is there an "Adobe SDK".

Hi Irosenth,

What is the use of the below Java Script files in Java Script folder.

debugger.js

aform.js

ADBC.js

annot.js

media.js

is these files are essential for other .js files in this folder to work properly.  If any one of the above is missing, other .js codes like drawing rectangle or creating annotation .js wont work properly?

Thanks for your valuable information Irosenth.

if further information needed i will mail you.

You can do this with a plugin written in C/C++. There is a sample in the SDK.

However, it will require you to learn about not only Acrobat/Reader, but also PDF itself.

Finally, since this is for Reader, you will need to obtain a license and key from Adobe – which is not necessary granted (esp. in your case since you are duplicating functionality form Acrobat into the free Reader) and does have a cost associated with it. I suggest you start by filling out and filing the necessary paperwork – also in the SDK.
