JavaScript: How do you pass the currently active doc to a dialogue in a menu item?

I use Adobe Acrobat 11.0 Standard on Windows 7, and I have a problem with the menu item that I create.  The menu item calls a dialog box that prompts the user to select a page in the active document.  The problem is, I can't find a way to send the currently active document in the dialog box.  I went through the rest of the documentation, did some research on Google and here in the Adobe forums, but do not have whatever it is turned upward.  The AcroJS API gives the following solution (which is under app/methods/execDialog):

This function attaches the Doc object to the dialog box, then past the dialog box to the app.execDialog method. The dialog4 object and this function may be at the level of the document.

function dotheDialog (dialog, doc)

{

Dialog.doc = doc;

retn var = app.execDialog (dialog)

}

Finally, the following script can be run an action of mouse-to the top, for example.

dotheDialog (dialog4, this);

I did this exact thing, but in the dialog box, the value of this.numPages still comes out as indefinite, indicating that the current document has not yet been adopted.  My own code looks like this:

function dotheDialog (dialogue, thisDoc) {}

Dialog.doc = thisDoc;

retn var = app.execDialog (dialog);

}

app.addMenuItem({)

cName: 'Testbox Dialogue. "

cParent: "change."

cExec: "dotheDialog (templateDialogue, this);"

});

where templateDialogue is the name of my own dialog, rather than dialog4.  I'm not sure of what concerns the variable retn that they declare in the documentation, but I have tried with and without this part, and it doesn't seem to make a difference.  Does anyone know how to do this?

The reference to the document is a property of the dialog box, so that you access the inside like this:

This.doc

And if you want to access the number of pages, like this:

this.doc.numPages

  • Pass the current sequence as an argument in customize tool Menu

    Is it possible to spend the full path and file name as argument in the Menu Tools Customize?

    Basically, I have an external tool that works with a movie file, and I would like to call from the Tools menu.  It is a type of order, but I don't know what to put in the arguments.  I found a post where someone said to use '% FILE execute%', but it does not work.

    In addition, if there are other available keywords, where is this list?

    Thank you.

    Hi Richard,

    It seems that it is not a way to do it using the command type.  The problem is that you can't use an expression to specify the arguments for the executable and you use an expression to get the path of the current sequence file.

    However, you can wrap your executable in a sequence file that has only a single step; the call of your executable file.  If you place a not executable call in your sequence, you can specify the argument as the current path by using the expression RunState.InitialSelection.SelectedFile.Path.

    Add a new item in the Tools menu, and then select your sequence of wrapper.

    See you soon,.

    Hi JED1986

    I have two solutions for you, for your problem.

    The first idea I would recommend creates the code below:

    Remembeer to define the sources correctly, including the clock to read source as your external clock. The above code will be permanently read 1 single sample with a rising edge, write to the disk, clear and will continue to read the following sample.

    Another way to proceed is to use an express VI and set the mode of acquisition as ' on demand ' with 1 sample currently playing. This is illustrated below and highlighted in red:

    I hope this helps. Please let me know how you go.

  • How can I automatically get a new tab always be a copy of the current active tab?

    The extension add-on "NewTabURL' (from"sogame") provided the option I want to and used for a number of years. But it has stopped working when Firefox has been updated to version 16.0. When I click to a new tab, all I get is a completely blank tab. How can I automatically have the new tab always be a copy of the current active tab?

    The extension "NewTabURL" can be revised to work in version 16 or 17? If not, if not, how can I get the new functionality of the tab I want? I can't find another extension that provides this feature.

  • Watch does not recognize the weight class as exercise-how can you add the duration of activity manually because none of the presets eg elliptical etc. is appropriate. Also does not count calories for example 35 when the rest of the group is around 500

    Look does not recognize the weight class as exercise-how can you add the duration of activity manually because none of the presets etc for example elliptical is appropriate and therefore do not count toward the daily goal. Also does not count calories for example 35 when the average of the others in the group is around 500.

    Hello

    When you use the application of the training session, choose the type of activity that best fits your business. For anything else - like weight - select the other category.

    During the follow-up of one year to the next helps:

    • Activity app will credit the ring of progress of exercise with one minute for every minute of the workout.
    • Active calories will be based on the data recorded by the heart rate sensor or a brisk walk, whichever is greater.

    Note, however, that the heart rate sensor is likely to give better results for the workouts that involve rhythmic (for example running) rather than the irregular movements.
