What I'm looking to do is create a photo album where I can place my photos. I'm pretty sure there would be some javascript involved. The thing is I want a search option so I can type in the name of the photo and click to find it. Any suggestions?

Hi.

You should try this great sample file bundled with Acrobat 5: Fichiers partagés - Acrobat.com

Thanks for the link, JR. I already have it. This album was what gave me the idea in the first place. I can add the pages easily, but I have no way of finding the pics. I don't want to flip through the pages once I have placed the pics. Would you know a script that I could use to search the album and find the image?

It's not the best approach, but it can be done using JS in a PDF file. You just need to set up button fields for the images and text fields for the captions, and use a small script to prompt the user to select an image when they click the button.

Could you provide an example of what you mean? I'd really like to get it to work, that would be great. Thanks.

You already got a pretty good example. You can enter text into the title fields under each image and then search for it using the built-in Find toolbar.

I don't think this is something reasonable to do with Acrobat JavaScript.
