Question

Is there a js command to open the bookmark tree in a collapsed state to only top level bookmarks?

My software makes hundreds of bookmarks in a hierarchy.  We want to open the bookmarks bar in a collapsed state showing only the first level bookmarks.  Is there a js - app.execMenuItem type command or any other to do this?

This is script to expand bookmark:

this.pane = "bookmarks";

var myRoot = this.bookmarkRoot;

for (var i = 0; i < myRoot.children.length; i++)

{

   var child = myRoot.children;

   child.open=true;

}

Found one answer although a bit awkward at Re: Expand/Collapse all the Bookmarks in a PDF file   in case anyone else is looking.  Tks.

If you're going to use the code from that thread, use the one posted by gkaiseril, as this needs to be done recursively.

I've also written a small (paid-for) tool that does it with a single click, if you're interested: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Close/Open All Bookmarks
