Correct answer JR Boulay

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.

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

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

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!
