I recently recieved a really good tip on how to create a bookmark for showing the path to the pdf file (http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewtopic.php?id=12939). It works great.

I have set it up as follows:

this.bookmarkRoot.createChild({cName: "path to report", cExpr: "console.show();console.clear();console.println(this.path);", nIndex: -1});

(although it doesn't go to the bottom of my existing bookmark list, but oh well...)

and saved it to a batch process.

Now i've been trying to create a batch process to do the reverse, i.e. remove the bookmark - if later we find we don't need this functionality any more.

I've read and read and read and tried various versions of a javascript without any luck - and maybe it's not even possible, but I though I would ask.

I know there is a method for removing ALL bookmarks at once:

this.bookmarkRoot.remove()

I only need to get rid of one... Why doesn't this work ?

this.bookmarkRoot.remove("path to report");

or this,

this.bookmarkRoot.remove({cName: "Path to report"})

Any tips / help ?

Thanks so much.

I also posted this to the javascript forum and received an excellent answer that solved my situation.
