Hi,

I am new here and new in acrobat stuff as well. I dont know if it is right place to ask these questions but i have been looking for my solution since 2 days.

I want to add a button in toolbar of Reader on clicking user will be prompted to save opened PDF file in SQL SERVER.

Secondly, If the user clicks CLOSE button on top-right. User will again be prompted to alert them for archiving opened document.

Hope some one will help me

Thanks,

Salma

Ok, PDF Portofolios is the wrong place to ask this question. The kind of interaction you are looking for, SQL and toolbar buttons, is a programming issue in Acrobat.

You can use Acrobat JavaScript to add a custom toolbar button to the Acrobat UI. But saving a document to an SQL server is an advanced issue.

There are ways to do some of what you want in Acrobat JavaScript, but to do this properly you really need to write a plug-in. But before you do, I would suggest searching for 3rd tools. It's likely that someone already has a solution.
