Not looking for app.browseForDoc() function. This one only gets the files. I am looking for a way to bring up the Folder selection box so a user can select the folder location where a list of files are kept and then have a simple script to loop through the folder selected and combine them into one document.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Acrobat JS doesn't have that capability. The only way you can get a list of files in Acrobat is if you run an Action over the folder.

I know that the Action has a Folder selection object and then you can run a javascript right after. How do you capture what folder option the user selected?

Can you give an example?

I suggest you read the Acrobat JavaScript API Reference about the property I mentioned and the global object, and how to use them.
