Passing parameters

We are opening a PDF file from a command within a third party database table.
(Acrobat Reader) This works every well.

The concept is the user can navigate through the document and on a choosen page/hotspot i.e
Advance Editing/Link Tool.The PDF file closes.

When the User selects the hot spot and the PDF file closes , it sends a Pre defined Tag back to the third party application.

How is this done without having to go through Java Script development.

All we required is a single return parameter from each hotspot link.


My Product Information:
Reader Pro 8.1 / Windows

Re: Passing parameters

You can't pass anything back without some sort of JavaScript code and the API in Reader is very limited.

If Acrobat Standard or higher is used rather than Reader, you can use the IAC interface to move information back and forth.

You can learn about developing with the IAC interface here...
