Hello tech writers,
I would like to include a clickable graphic in my PDF document and add a
link to a .exe or .bat file. The idea is that the user clicks on the
graphic and that a specific file (.key) is copied to a specific folder.
Is there an elegant way to do this, preferably by using the Link Tool in
Adobe Acrobat 6? I'm been looking into the "custom actions" but I can
only find "Open document" or "Run a JavaScript".
