[thelist] opening a pdf file with a back button on the page, not using the browser back button.

 From within Acrobat (not the Reader, but the actual program), open up your
document.  You can use the Form tool to create a button.  For the "MouseDown"
action, you can set it to do a javacript.  You can then add in the javascript
you want the button to perform.

Now, why not just have the user use the back button?  If it's a multiple page
document, you're either having to put the back button on every page or expecting
the user to navigate through the document to the back button.

What they want is on the page a button that when clicked will take them back
to the previous page like the back button on the top of the browser. So a
button using onclick="window.history.go(-1);" etc.
