I have number of PDFs which are linked by bookmarks. I want to find the filename of the PDF linked from each bookmark. Also i want to find the bookmarks entries which links to same PDF and to external PDF. Can you please help?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 7.0.9, Windows

I imagine you could simply....

for (var i = 0; i < this.bookmarkRoot.children.length; i++)
{
var doc = this.bookmarkRoot.children[i].doc;
{..do doc stuff..ex: push 'doc.path' into an array..}
}

That's off the top of my head, you'd have to have it iterate through all of them if there is a subtree, so make a function that calls this loop and for every child of a child it will call the function.

That should get you started.

I would have to see the code you are using. You can't simply copy and paste what I posted and make what you want happen.

I don't know a code for this requirement. So thought this piece of script does it. Can you please explain?
