JavaScript: Add new menuitem in Acrobat 5.0 [Resolved]

[RobDog888]

I am having trouble getting this script to run. I have it entered at
the Document level and I need to know where its going wrong.

function APD_Menu(){
 app.addMenuItem({cName: "Save to Working dir...", cParent: "File", cExec: "app.alert("Save to Working directory!");",cEnable: "event.rc = (event.target != null);",nPos: 0});
}

When I try to call my function it gives the error - "SyntaxError: syntax error undefined"

Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help on this.

This is working so far.

function APD_Menu(){
app.addMenuItem({ cName: "Save to Working Dir...", cParent: "File", cExec: "app.alert(this.path)", cEnable: "event.rc = event.target != null",nPos: 7});
}

"app.alert("Save to Working directory!");",

Try masking the inner quotes:
"app.alert(\"Save to Working directory!\");",

I finally got it to add the menu item and execute some code.
Now I just need to see if I can get it to prompt for verification
before the saveas and handel the response.
Global.WorkingDir is a global static variable that I setup in
another script to contain the absolute path.

var sPos = "5";

app.addMenuItem({cName: "Save to Working Dir...", cParent: "File", cExec: "var aDocs = app.activeDocs; var myForm = aDocs [0]; myForm.saveAs(global.WorkingDir + 'Test.pdf');" , nPos: sPos});

How do I get a function to return a value so I can embed the
function call into the addMenuItem call?

I can use that to determine if the file is to be saved or not.

Just add a return statement? Or is there any specific reason why this wouldn't work?

Here is the update that is working.

var sPos = "5";

app.addMenuItem({cName: "Save to Working Dir...", cParent: "File", cExec: "event.rc = SaveWorking() != 2", cEnable: "event.rc = TypeOfDocSave() != 0", nPos: sPos});

function TypeOfDocSave() {

  var d = this.info;
  var sTitle = d.Title
  var sGood = sTitle.indexOf("APD");

  if (event.target == null) {
    return 0; 
  }
  if (sGood == "0") {
    return 1;
  }
  else {
    return 0;
  }
}


function SaveWorking() {

  var cResp = app.alert('Save to - ' + global.WorkingDir + 'Test.pdf',2,1);

  if (cResp == 1) {
    app.alert('Saving to - ' + global.WorkingDir + 'Test.pdf',3,0);
    this.saveAs(global.WorkingDir + 'Test.pdf')
    return 1;
  }
  if (cResp == 2) {
    app.alert('Canceled',1,0);
    return 2;
  }
}

This will only be enabled and execute if the document has "APD" in the title.
If there are other documents opened, when switched to them the menu item is disabled!

I still need filename generation code for this part of my prject to be complete.
Review my other thread for the details, please.

Any ideas?


Thanks for the assistance.
