main problem:

i have been working on converting set of pdf files 1000’s of hyperlinks www.site.com\folder1\file1.pdf#page=10

to jump local copy of files relative type link

../folder1/file1.pdf , go proper page.

i have found can done manually changing hyperlink javascript

var otherdoc = app.opendoc('../folder1/file1.pdf', this);otherdoc.pagenum = 10 - 1;

and setting each destination file disclose()=true;

based on far java script cannot access hyperlink value in link

see: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1039908?tstart=60

i have resorted following plan using acrobat javascript, external keyboard macro recorder , excel in combination around problem

four folder level acrobat javascripts “buttons”

one link quads in array, in pdf , report total number

the second creates form field in far corner of first page , moves there.

the third jumps each link found creating form field left of link , zooms in can selected “mouse click” keyboard macro recorder 

the forth deletes form field

 

the keyboard macro recorder runs javascript 2 , 3 clicks on link right of middle of screen , uses keys advanced editing edit hyperlink .

the hyperlink copied excel converted using string functions needed javascript text copied back.

to acrobat file java script (after deleting hyperlink)

rinse/lather/repeat

 

i have been able convert 150 links hour.

better hand typing, not having java access links.

 

i looking improve solution
