JavaScript .js Toolbar SubMenu)

[Joel5D89]

Hi All -

I've put the following code (credit: http://khkonsulting.com/2009/03/counting-bookmarks/) in C:\Users\jxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\Privileged\DC\JavaScripts\bookmark.js

function CountBookmarks(bkm, nLevel)
{
    var count = 0;
    if (bkm.children != null)
    {
        count = bkm.children.length;
        for (var i = 0; i < bkm.children.length; i++)
        {
             count += CountBookmarks(bkm.children[i], nLevel + 1);
        }
    }

    return count;
}


function DoIt()
{
    console.clear(); console.show();
    var n = CountBookmarks(this.bookmarkRoot, 0);
    console.println("Number of bookmarks found: " + n);
}



// add the menu item
app.addMenuItem({
     cName: "countBookmarks",
     cUser: "Count Bookmarks",
     cParent: "Tools",
     cExec: "DoIt();",
     cEnable: "event.rc = (event.target != null);"
});

For the life of me I can't figure out where the subMenu item is . . . what is "Tools" cParent? Where can I locate the dang button to test it.....

Thanks in advance.

Change "Tools" to "File". Then you can see the menu entry under File.

[Test Screen Name]

Bear in mind the "menu" is the bar at the top with File, Edit etc. Some people call the bar at the right side a "menu" but it isn't. Some people call the bar if icons below the menu a menu, but that is t either.

Replace this line:

cParent: "Tools",

By this line:

cParent: "Edit",

The Tools menu no longer exists since Acrobat X.

Perfect. That did the trick. 

I guess as a side question - if (I haven't decided) I wanted to make this an icon in one of the toolbars . . . how would I go about doing that? I wouldn't want it in the "add on" toolbar because then my co-workers would have to go out of their way to enable that. 

Thanks again. I'll be back with a lot of questions about this project I've taken on. Unfortunately, seems like a lot of the guides and documentation is outdated (and definitely not written for someone who dabbles in coding.....I've learned basics of Python, VBA, C#, and a few others . . . all have pretty "newbie" guides and tutorials, I haven't found anything similar for javascript in Adobe DC.

You can use this modified script in an Action or in a Custom Command.

Actions and Custom Commands can be placed as icon in the QuickTools bar.

function CountBookmarks(bkm, nLevel) {
var count = 0;
if (bkm.children != null) {
count = bkm.children.length;
for (var i = 0; i < bkm.children.length; i++) {
count += CountBookmarks(bkm.children[i], nLevel + 1);
}
}

return count;
}

function DoIt() {
console.clear(); console.show();
var n = CountBookmarks(this.bookmarkRoot, 0);
console.println("Number of bookmarks found: " + n);
}

DoIt();

Hi All -

Thank you for the help. I actually was able to get past that hurdle and have now created a mostly functional ToC script to pull bookmarks into a ToC.  Couple shortfalls right now - one of which is it's only good for up to 1 page of bookmarks (about 50 or so bookmarks) but that'll be fixed shortly.

Full script can be found here: GOOGLE DRIVE - BOOKMARKS TO TABLE OF CONTENTS
