In Adobe Acrobat 9 standard - If I'm working in a PDF file stored on a shared network drive, is there something I can click in Acrobat that will show me the path to the PDF I'm in, i.e., H:\Folder1\Folder2\Folder3\mydocument.pdf? I'd like to be able to cut and paste the file path to the .pdf and email it to someone so they can get to it easily.

Thanks,
Dave

With Acrobat JavaScript you can use the following:
sMsg = 'The path for ' + this.documentFileName + ' is ' + this.path;sMsg += '\nThe URL for ' + this.documentFileName + ' is ' + this.URL;app.alert(sMsg, 3, 0);

to display the PDF's file name, the path and URL.
