Hi experts.

I know how to use

this.exportDataObject({cName: "myFile.pdf", nLaunch: 2});

to open an attachment.

It works fine with attachments attached using the Attachments pane, but when I want to open an attachment attached using the Attach File comment tool I always get this error mesage: TypeError: Invalid argument type.

What must I do to JavaScript-open an attachment attached using the Attach File comment tool?

I need this to works with Acrobat Reader (11 & DC).

Thank You

I found a workaround.

Instead of displaying a button for opening each attachment, I'd placed the attachment icon instead.

So users can double-clic the icon for opening attachments.

It was a challenge to set the precise position for each icon, but it's OK now.

Hola JR Boulay, ¿podrías compartir tu archivo PDF?. Intento hacer un formulario igual al tuyo pero me estoy volviendo loco con el código y no consigo que funcione. ¿Serías tan amable?. Gracias de antemano. javero25@gmail.com

It's not the JavaScript method, it's the Acrobat UI. The UI will, as a convenience, show page level attachments in the same pane as document level attachments. They aren't stored in the PDF in the same way though.

AFAIK, it's not possible to do that.

If ever a bomb exploded at the guy who (not) implemented this JavaScript method in PDF format I would make a good suspect ...

Thank you try67.

JR:

You do understand that the fact that you used the words "bomb" and "exploded" in this forum means that we're now all going to have to uninstall Acrobat from our laptops before boarding a flight. Thanks... really.
