Hello fellows,
I wonder if there is a way in ES to launch an external application (e.g., Acrobat) with a specified path to the PDF file?
I read about cross-DOM functions in the JS tools guide, but it's not clear where is the shared start up folder where a script with a call to acrobat.open should be put.
Do you have any input on that?
Thank you!
Hi rombanks
have a look at the Javascript tools file (around page 52):
execute()
fileObj.execute ()
Opens this file using the appropriate application, as if it had been double-clicked in a file browser.
You can use this method to run scripts, launch applications, and so on.
Returns true immediately if the application launch was successful.
This works for me:
var cFileName = YourPath + "/FM2015_mifref.pdf";
var cFile = new File (cFileName);
if (cFile.exists)
{
cFile.execute();
}
else
{
alert ("File not found : " + cFileName);
}
