app.addToolButton() no longer works in second open document (Acrobat DC 15.01620041)

Are you sure you have the necessary functions existing within the documents or as a folder level functions?

I see no code to check for the existence of the reset or import/export functions. Hint use the typeof constrictor.

I have tried the following code as a document level function in multiple documents and the expected floating tool bar appears.

function ResetAll()
{
app.alert("ResetAll function", 1, 0);
}

function ImportExport_Button()
{
app.alert("Import Export Function", 1, 0);
}

function MakeButtons()
{
// check to see if ResetAll function exist;
if(typeof ResetAll == "function") {
// try to remove "RestButton" so there is not duplicate button;
try {
  app.removeToolButton("ResetButton");
  } catch(e) {}

        app.addToolButton({
            cName : "ResetButton",
            cExec : "ResetAll()",
            cTooltext : "Reset the entire sheet and all form fields to their initial value.",
            nPos : 1,
            cLabel : "Reset"
        });
}
else
{
  app.alert("Missing \"ResetAll\" function!", 0, 0);
  }
 
// check to see if "ImportExportButton" function exist
   if(typeof ImportExport_Button == "function")
   {
    // try to remove button so there is no duplicate;
  try {
   app.removeToolButton("ImportExportButton");
   } catch(e) {}

        app.addToolButton ({
          cName : "ImportExportButton",
            cExec : "ImportExport_Button()",
            cTooltext : "Import or Export form data with the .fdf or .xfdfd file extension.\n\nYou can select to only export the data that is not auto-filled by the sheet.\n\nThis menu also offers the option to add your own code to the sheet. For more information on this, see the FAQ.",
            nPos : 2,
            cLabel : "Im\/Export"
        });
        }
        else
        {
   app.alert("Missing \"ImportExportButton\" function.", 0, 0);
   }
} // end MakeButtons function;

MakeButtons();

Note that using the above code as a document level function will add a floating toolbar.

Using the code as a folder level function will add the code as Add-on Tools. You can hide the floating with by adding the hideToolBarButton method.

Hi ZoPaars

Along with as mentioned by Karl, once refer this thread with similar issue : app.addToolButton code

Also enable the JavaScript debugger as it displays the following error:

ReferenceError: ResetAll is not defined

1:Doc:Exec

ReferenceError: ImportExport_Button is not defined

1:Doc:Exec

Check if this helps.

If it worked in previous releases of Acrobat, and also worked in earlier versions of Acrobat DC, I would suspect that this is a bug that was introduced recently. You can report a bug here: Feature Request/Bug Report Form

Once you select "Adobe Acrobat Pro", the form will redirect you to a page that is not hosted on Adobe's web server, that is OK.
