hi im using the app.execMenuItem("Annots:Tool:InkMenuItem"); in the javascript of textbox in acrobat pro 9. When i click the text box pen tool is activated and im able to sign in that textbox.
But in acrobat reader 10.1.2 when i click the textbox its not working . i.e (app.execMenuItem("Annots:Tool:InkMenuItem"); ) is not executing . Is there any other command to get pen tool in acroabat reader x.
hi try,
i want javascript code to manually call the pen tool using
ink annotation.
Yes, there is. And your code is correct. If you run that code from the console window you will see that it works. The problem is that menu item cannot be generally run from a non-privileged context. They have to be on a white list. In windows this is a registry setting:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\8.0\FeatureLockDown\cDefaultExecMenuItems
On the Mac it's in a setting file.
