Hello,
I am having trouble getting the name of the bookmark of the current page. I have tried using.

var myRoot = this.bookmarkRoot;
var myChild = myRoot.children[0];

I then need to export the text value of the current pages bookmark when a checkbox on the page is checked. Thanks!

A bookmark does not belong to a page, but a bookmark can have an action associated with it that causes a page to be displayed. So although you can determine the page number of a bookmark by executing it (assuming its associated action causes a page to be displayed), there are no methods that will give you a bookmark given a page number.

So how do you do execute that?

You can execute a bookmark with JavaScript by acquiring a bookmark object and using the "execute" method.
