Hi,
I know that JavaScript can be used to navigate through pages (go 1st, go last, go previous, go next, go to n).
But I don't know if JavaScript can display the next page randomly.
ie: 1000 JPGs pictures combined into one PDF displayed as a slide show (full-screen mode), but I would pages to be displayed randomly, not using the page order.
Is it possible, and how ?
Thanks

Thanks, this helps me a lot and I'd enhanced your sample as this :
var nbP = this.numPages;
this.pageNum = Math.floor(Math.random()*nbP);
(Then I didn't have to previously known the number of pages…)
This is good stuff for a button action, but I want the slide show to be opened automaticaly (this is OK) and the pages/images to be displayed randomly without any user action.
I guess that I must use a doc-level JavaScript, but how can I repeat this script any "n" second ???
var nbP = this.numPages;
this.pageNum = Math.floor(Math.random()*nbP);

I get this script from the JS-doc, I modified it, and it works!
Thanks again try67.

function DoIt() {
var nbP = this.numPages;
this.pageNum = Math.floor(Math.random() * nbP);
}
//save return value as a variable
timeout = app.setInterval("DoIt()", 11000);
// Add a property to our timeout object so that DoIt() can keep a count going.
timeout.count = 0;
/* use this as a doc-will-close JavaScript */
if (typeof app.formsVersion != 'undefined' && app.formsVersion < 7.05)
{app.clearInterval(timeout)};
