Show and hide pages via JavaScript API

[DiggaStewieJax]

Hi,

is it possible to show and hide pages in Adobe Acrobat using the JavaScript API? If so, how? I've been looking for a solution for two days, but I can't find one.

Thanks

Only if they are converted to a Template object.

Do you mean a PDF template? How can I do that?

Templates can be created using a script or via Tools - Document Processing - Page Templates.

Once created they can be shown or hidden via the same location, or again using a script.

An important note is that it will only work in Acrobat, not in Reader, where it's only possible to spawn pages from a Template and then delete those pages, not show/hide it directly.
