Hi, I have a button. I wanted to use Open A Web Link for the action but I don't know that I can put arguments from the document in there. So, I am using JavaScript.

I want to call a web page and pass the name of my current pdf as part of the querystring. I need a link like this:

http://myserver/mydirectory/myfile.aspx?paperno=TheNameOfMyOpenedPDF

Thank you for any help. Can that be done without JavaScript? How would I do it with JavaScript.

Look into using the doc.getURL or app.launchURL methods.
