How to create a jump menu in pdf

[Guest]

Hi, I don't know if I'm using the correct terms or not but I have a pdf document that has a figure at the end and several figure references throughout the text and I need to be able to link to the figure from each figure reference (which I know how to do) and then link back to wherever the user was when they jumped to the figure (which is the part I can't figure out).  Since there are multiple reference points in the text how can I set up a hyperlink from the figure to the reference point where the user last was when they jumped to the figure?

Any help would be most appreciated.  Thank you.

Set the Back button to execute this JavaScript code when clicked:

app.execMenuItem("GoBack");

Thank you for the quick reply! 

I've never added javascript to a pdf before.  Can you give me some idea how to go about it?  I tried making a script with the code you shared but I'm getting a syntax error about a missing ( before formal parameters at line 2.  I have no idea how to fix it or attach it to the back button.  Any further help would be most appreciated.

That should not happen if you copy and paste the code I provided without making any changes to it.

Maybe I'm not pasting into the right place.  I went to Document Scripts and created a new script and put your code between the curly braces and tried to save it and that's when I got the error.  I have no idea how to work with the javascripts tools in acrobat.

Why Document Scripts? You want it to be associated with a button, don't you? Go to the button's Properties and put it under a MouseUp action.
