Add Open to Toolbar

[lindad84911]

For Acrobat Pro DC, I have searched everywhere and cannot find how to add Open (a file) to the Quick Toolbar. Is it possible? Thank you.

Not possible.

1. Create a new Custom Command using this JavaScript

  app.execMenuItem("Open");

2. Right-clic anywhere on the Quick Tools bar to customize it.

3. Go to the Action Wizard headings to add your new Custom Command into the Quick Tools bar.

Thanks so much.  I have been searching for this for years.  Why Adobe does not include OPEN in it toolbar excapes me.

Hello and thanks for the awesome thread.

On a related note -- is there a JavaScript command that I can use to show/hide the default toolbar in Adobe Reader, ideally both alternating as toggles, the same thing that happens when I press F8?

I have tried 

app.execMenuItem("ShowHideToolbarBasicTools");

but it didn't do anything?

Thanks for any ideas!

If I may piggyback on this thread.  I also have been searching for a similair answer.

I have also wanted to add  options to the tool bar to save an open document to a specific folders.

Is it possible to change to name or icon that is assigned when adding a custom button to the tool bar?

Thank you!!

These possibilities no longer exist since version X of Acrobat

Actions and Custom Command cannot use a custom icon.

But this is available for Add-on tools (JavaScript plugins), which can be placed in the Tool Bar.

This works great on my version of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.  THANKS!!

Trying to seup on a users PC.  She is running Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.  She does not appear to have all the commands I have.  Is this a setup issue, or a version issue?  Is is possible to add these scripts to Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

Thank you
