I am looking to open a bookmark with the code below instead of going to a page number.

var f = this.getField("Button1"); f.setAction("MouseUp", "this.pageNum = 1";

You'll need to iterate over the entire bookmark tree, looking for that bookmark's name, and when you find it you can use the execute method to run the action associated with it.

What do you mean by "open a bookmark", exactly?

Something like this...

this.getField("BUTTONNAME").setAction(trigger, code);

The trigger is a string and can be any one of...

MouseUp

MouseDown

MouseEnter

MouseExit

OnFocus

OnBlur

Keystroke

Validate

Calculate

Format

code is also a string but it's the JavaScript that gets executed this this...

"app.beep(0);"
