Set document to display with Bookmarks Panel via JavaScript

It can not be done with JavaScript.

It is possible to do this with Batch Processing and links from a web server.

Thanks for the quick answer! Is it possible to insert a document-level JavaScript to open the Bookmarks Panel based off and open document event?

There is not way for Acrobat JavaScript to do this. There is bookmark object but the properties and methods do not refernce the document page display. And there is doc object, but the only document disply properties are zoom and zoom type.

Thanks for all the help! I guess (ideally) I'd love to be able to do everything with batch processing or everything with scripting. Ah well...such is life. Thanks again for the help!

It's possible, but undocumented, so the usual caveats apply:


This has been around since version 3.02. The values can also be T, N, and F, but don't use F.

Hey, definitely worth a try. Thanks, George!

Are they some undocumented code to display Comment and Attachment panels ?

???

George,

I'd tried your tip but I can't see what the "N" is supposed to do : nothing happens...

;-)

(Acrobat 9 Pro)

The undocumented 'pane' property of the doc object are:

this.pane = "bookmarks"; // for bookmarks
this.pane = "layers"; // for layers layers
this.pane = "thumbnails"; // for thumbnails
this.pane = "fullscreen"; // full screen

The values can also be abbreviated to the lowest non-common value, first letters or any lenth unique string.

[Edited to add]: The string values are also not case sensative.

Thanks gkaiseril !

I believe "N" means "none", so if you don't have one of those other panes open, it won't do anything. If the bookmarks pane is open when you execute the statement, it will close.

George

Thanks George

Thank you a lot George Kaiser
