insertPages() security settings prevent access

[phil92]

Hi,

I want to make a button on my pdf to insert pages from another pdf. However I keep getting

the security settings prevent access error (it works on the console tho). 

I heard about the folder level script with this :"app.getPath("user","javascript")";, But I am getting this error:

"GeneralError: Operation failed.
App.getPath:1:Console undefined:Exec
2

undefined".

The "app.getPath("app","javascript")" is working fine, but I'm not sure how to create a usuable function over there to be use for my button ... ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thank you

You need to create a trusted function that executes this command and place it in a .js file in that folder.

I see. But my "app.getPath("user","javascript")" is undefined... The folder doesnt seems to exist. Can I put the .js file at the "app.getPath("app","javascript")" location ?

Thank you for you help

It also seems that trusted function required a trusted context to be called... How can I do this on my document ?

Yes, you can use the other folder. And that folder is the trusted context.
