1. Re: How to make bookmarks programmatically ?
try67 Dec 29, 2010 12:56 PM (in response to FrancisFukuyama)Bookmarks created in what you call method 2 don't need to have any JS in them. You can certainly add a script to them by using the setAction method, but if you don't do so they are identical to bookmarks created in any other way.
Beyond that I don't really follow what you're trying to achieve, and how you expect to do it automatically if you don't want to use JavaScript.
As to your remark about security, I think is it highly questionable. As far as I know, 99.9999% of PDF files are totally secure. Of course there are security threats from time to time, but those are extremely rare and are usually dealt with by the security patches. I think it's much more dangerous to open an email than to open a PDF file. Disabling JavaScript will leave your PDF files very limited indeed. In fact, many of Adobe's own calculations and actions are based on JavaScript.

LOL, In that case they wont have any action like "Go To a Page View" and will be dead.

This should help you a little, if not completely ... and do not forget to give some points if it helped.

You can post in the SDK forum for information about plugins.
