Create a button with an icon in script

[Nysanna]

Hello,

I want to create a button and that button should show a page from another pdf document. I have written a folder level script (so no security issues) and the code that I use is this:

var firstButton = newDoc.addField("Button 1", "button", pageNumber, [50, 67, 180, 247]);
firstButton.buttonImportIcon(this.path, pageNumberOfOrigDoc);

The button is created but the icon does not show. Do I need to set another property or something? In the Acrobat interface I need to set the layout to Icon Only but I can't find a similar property to set in the script for this.

Thank you for taking your time reading this (and maybe helping out).

Hi,

The firstButton has a buttonPosition which I think is what you are looking for:

Yes, thank you! That's not really a logical name for me, that's probably why I didn't find it. It would have been nice if the Acrobat API Reference mentioned this property needed to be set when using buttonImportIcon.
