I am using illustrator cc 2015 .
If I am opening any pdf file inside illustrator it's showing many unnecessary path points .
For removing this unnecessary path point I am using Object -> Path -> simplify menu option.
Below image shown how it's reduce points.

Can we do the same with script or plugin ?
If it possible so please guide me for plugin or script .
I searched for script to simplify path in Illustrator forum and google ,but didn't get any solution.
Please assist me.
Thank in advance

You have already asked this question and been given the correct answers.
To simplify points from a plugin you have three options:
1. Use the action manager to invoke the Simplify Path menu item.
2. Use the ReducePathSegments function in the AIPathConstruction suite.
3. Write your own code. Not sure why you would want to do this if the simplify path menu does what you want.
For option 3 you were advised to search elsewhere as this is nothing to do with the Adobe SDK. You said you couldn't find anything on Google. I searched for one minute and found this:
Ramer–Douglas–Peucker algorithm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
