      I have a pdf catalog (36 pg) and a folder with all the pages of the catalog as single page files (36 files).

       

      What I want to do is have a button on each page of the catalog that would download the corresponding page in the folder of single page files.

       

      Is this doable, would it take JavaScript and where could I find such a script.

       

      Thanks for the help

          Your PDFs are to be available on a web server? OSM (CD-R or DVD)? A network share?
          Something that can work with any of these:

           

          With a topography such as:
          <some directory>
          ..... catalog.pdf
          ..... <folder of PDF pages>
          ..... ..... page01.pdf
          ..... .....     .
          ..... .....     .
          ..... ..... page36.pdf

          Using Acrobat Pro, create a button having an 'Open a file" action on each page in the "catalog.pdf".
          Select the appropiate "page" PDF.
          In the Specify Open Preference' dialog select "New Window".
          Save as you build.

           

          User with Adobe Reader/Acrobat experiences:


          User opens catalog.pdf first. Click the Button field on a given page to view the single page PDF.
          The catalog.pdf stays open. A new window opens to render the target PDF (the "page" PDF selected).
          When done with the "page" PDF, close it. Continue view/browse of catalog.pdf

          Alternatively, built Bookmarks in the catalog.pdf. One for each individual page PDF file.
          Configure catalog.pdf document preferences initial view or bookmarks & pages.


          Be well...
