How to setup a link that is of the type "Go to a page in another document"?

Is there a direct way for a javascript to setup a link that is equivalent to the acrobat link type  you get when you add a link of the type “Go to a page in another document”?
Tools-Advanced Editing-Link tool, make a box
Check: Go to page view, Next (Create go to view dialog opens)
Open second document and go to page
Click “Create go to view dialog” to set up link
Result is a link, when view by link properties, with an action of
Go to a page in another document
File: C:\My Documents\File2.pdf
Page: 43
Zoom level: Custom
I have a java script in a setAction of a link that I think does the job:
l.setAction("var otherDoc = app.openDoc('../Folder2/File2.pdf', this);otherDoc.pageNum = 1 - 1;");
But is there a more direct way that actual sets up a “a link of the type Go to a page in another document” so if it's "advanced edited" its the same as the manual set links?
I would like to setup a set of pdf documents, on the hard disk of a PC or Mac, that can be open with acrobat pro running on the same computer and have the link jump to, and open in a new window, in acrobat pro, to a given page of a second document in the set.

Code example in more detail:
/* Insert document level JavaScript to set disclosed = true.
   This will run when the document is opened.*/
this.addScript("setDisclosed", "this.disclosed = true;");
// Search through the document for the word “Acrobat” and create a link around that word.
for (var p = 0; p < this.numPages; p++)
    var numWords = this.getPageNumWords(p);
    for (var i=0; i<numWords; i++)
        var ckWord = this.getPageNthWord(p, i, true);
        if ( ckWord == "Acrobat")
            var q = this.getPageNthWordQuads(p, i);
            // Convert quads in default user space to rotated
            // User space used by Links.
            m = (new Matrix2D).fromRotated(this,p);
            mInv = m.invert()
            r = mInv.transform(q)
            r=r.toString()
            r = r.split(",");
            l = addLink(p, [r[4], r[5], r[2], r[3]]);
            l.borderColor = color.blue
            l.borderWidth = 1
            //l.setAction("this.getURL('http://www.adobe.com/');");
           l.setAction("var otherDoc = app.openDoc('../Folder2/File2.pdf', this);otherDoc.pageNum = 3 - 1;");
Current Systems in use to create documents with links and view them:
Windows XP SP3
Word 2003 SP3
Acrobat 9 pro version 9.4.4
Or just to view them:
Mac OS 10 Lion version 10.7.4
Acrobat 9 pro version 9.5.1
(note I have limited understanding of Mac’s)

If you use buttons instead, it is possible to script adding the actions that you want. It involves creating a properly constructed FDF, saving it, and then importing it into the document. Buttons can be made to appear just like links. For more information, see: http://www.planetpdf.com/developer/article.asp?ContentID=6338

  • How to setup 9ias so that we can have different profile to cater for 2 DADs

    Dear Sir,
    How to setup 9ias so that we can have different profile to cater for 2 DADs with the same name pointing to different database.
    For example:
    /pls/users --> pointing to database 1
    /pls/users --> pointing to database 2
    I would like to know, how possible is it.
    Reason being we would like to deploy both our live and demo plsql application on same application server without the need to change all the dad path to:
    /pls/users -- pointing to database 1
    /pls/usersdb2 -- pointing to database 2
    In other words, we would like to preserve the same DAD name in both live and demo application to minimise unnecessary changes to application.
    Please advise.
    Thanks.

    I assume you're using Portal 3.0 (it always helps to mention which portal version you're using).
    I suggest you search this forum for "new window". You'll find several threads discussing how to implement this feature in Portal 3.0.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to add sublink in the top navigation bar.
    There is an article about this issue, it contains the steps about how to create a link with sublink in the top navigation bar, you can have a look at it.

    IPhone question:  Im trying to update applications on my iphone.  When I do it I'm as for password from a different Apple ID from what I have in Itunes.  How do I change so that both are the same?

    All apps are tied to the apple id that it was used to purchase or download the app.
    did you use a different id to buy the app?
    you can change id, settings - appstore - apple id - log out and log in with correct id.

    I am trying to re-install Photoshop CS6. The files have downloaded but I get and error message that the Adobe Support Advisor is required to determine what the installation probIem is. I click on the link that says "get the Support Advisor here only to be told the Support Advisor no longer exists!! A blind loop. I need to have Photoshop CS6 installed...what do I do from here??

    The CC Cleaner Tool assumes the Akamai Download Manager is activated and it has not. It seems to be the missing file that triggers the error message. \in a previous re-install I was prompted to download & install the Akamai Download Manger, but not this time. Is there somewhere on the Adobe website that I can download it??

  • How can I add a link in a cell in pages to another document

    Hello I am new to this so be gentle with me
    Can anyone tell me if it is possible to add a link in a (table) cell in pages to another document on my Mac, so when I click on it, it will take me to the document
    Many Thanks
    Charles

    As far as I remember you couldn't do it in PAges 09 and Pages 5 has lost over 90 features that Pages 09 has so I would say no you can't. I can't test it right now. I had a quick look in the help (http://help.apple.com/pages/mac/5.0/?lang=en) and could find that you could link to another document from anywhere let alone a table cell.

    Some people participated in the editing of the wiki and they have now left the office. How do i remove them and their documents from the People page?
    Thank you.

    Should be able to do so from the Users pane (select the user then click the "-" below the list of users. That worked for me with all but one out of five users I deleted. No matter what, their Wiki person page remained, so I hid it from view.
