Javascript for inserting a certain file before another to form a unit

Question

Hi,

I look for a Javascript. A PDF file called x, located in a specific place, is to be inserted before a PDF document called y. It should be possible to link this to a button so that the process is carried out when the button is pressed. The file should then be called like the file y with a suplement like versioning. I would like you to provide and explain how I insert the code into Adobe Acrobat. Thanks for your help.

Regards, Franz

You can insert pages to a file using the insertPages command, but you can't just call this command from a button. It requires a privileged context, which usually means a script that runs from a local file on the computer, not just within the PDF file itself. Also, it will only work in Acrobat, of course, not the free Reader.

Not sure what you mean about "versioning".
