I have a custom app made in VB (.exe file) that I'd like to launch from a toolbar button in PDF reader. I've fooled around with .api creation for Acrobat but I cannot find any commands that will launch a file type other than PDF (or PDF compatible). Is there a simple way to create a toolbar button in reader with a shell command statement that opens an executible in Windows?
