can any help me please,
I do have a PDF form with a phone number in it and my client wants the phone number to be clickable and to pop-up a (vcard)

to "save contact"
I have found a way to open the phone number -by clicking on it- shows on the caller dialing screen to make a call but it is not enough, I need it to open save as contact with all contact details (number, name, address, mail ....etc)
Thanks a lot

Correct answer JoelGeraci

You'll need to post the vcard to a public URL and then create a link to it from the button. It needs to be a regular PDF link, not a scripted link. The PDF will execute the link and then the OS takes over and handles the vcard file type.

Even it if was possible with a script, it's highly unlikely to work on mobile devices, at all.

The support for JavaScript in PDF applications on mobile devices ranges from non-existent to very limited, especially when it comes to things like opening external files or otherwise interacting with the operating system.
