Dropdown javascript to open new document?

Question

I have a drop down. What I would like to do is, when I select the first item in the drop down list called doc1.pdf, then it would open. If I select the second item in the list called doc2.pdf, then it would open and so on for the rest of the drop down list. Is it possible using a bit of javascript? If you know how the scripting would you please help me accomplish this? Thank you.

Do you know any JavaScripting?One could use the document's name and path as the optional value for the drop down and then use that value as the parameter for the "app.openDoc()" method. If you have a "select item" or empty choice item then you need to add some code to not process this item.http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/acrobat_dc_sdk/2015/HTMLHelp/#t=Acro12_MasterBook%2FJS_API_AcroJS%2Fapp_methods.htm%23TOC_openDocbc-28&rhtocid=_6_1_8_6_1_27Acrobat JavaScript API Referencehttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScriptMDN JavaScript Reference
