Add custom button to Adobe Acrobat Pro toolbar (permanently) to "Open current document's folder" in Windows File Explorer

I want to add a button (permanently) to customize the Adobe Acrobat Pro toolbar that launches Windows File Explorer in the directory of the currently open document. I constantly navigate (several times per day for years) to Acrobat's "File... Properties..." menu to open the Properties dialog box, and then click on "Location" field (a clickable hyperlink) with the mouse to open Windows File Explorer. This is too repetitive and tiring.
I need a button that is available whenever I open any file in Adobe Acrobat. I need this to be a permanent addition to the regular toolbars; I don't want to have to manually add this action to every document. It looks like it will require Javascript.
I need a Javascript function to "Open current file location" and instructions on how to permanently attach this Javascript to a new (named) button on Adobe Acrobat Pro toolbar(s). I am new to JavaScript inside Acrobat, and unfamiliar any potential security issues.
I have created a new "Create New Action..." called Open_WindowsFolder_for_Current_Document using the Acrobat Pro Action Wizard. The next step is to select actions from the lists of pre-programmed actions. There is nothing in the Wizard to "Get File Properties object, extract the location string, and then feed this current file location string into another wizard step to launch Windows File Explorer.
WHAT I HAVE TRIED:
I checked the Adobe Acrobat Community Forums but found no libraries of Javascripts to drop into these types of wizard actions.
I found documentation on Github for "ExtendScript" but the learning curve looks very STEEP, like many hours or days to set up this simple action that I could do with the Word or Excel Macro Recorder in minutes. ExtendScript
Can someone help me by providing a script and guidance for how to set this up?
Thanks in advance!

Insert button into Google Docs with Chrome Extension

I am writing a Chrome Extension, and instead of having a button in the browser toolbar, I would like to insert a button into Google Docs.
I can't figure out how to insert a button into the Google Docs toolbar using a Chrome Extension. Specifically, how do I inject the button into the Google Docs toolbar as opposed to creating a dialog box or something similar? (I know how to do the latter in my content.js file).
Here is a link to another Chrome Extension that injects a button into the Google Docs toolbar, as I am trying to do: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/draftback/nnajoiemfpldioamchanognpjmocgkbg?hl=en-US
I ended up figuring this out by looking at the content.js file for the extension I linked to in the question.
Within the content.js file of your Chrome Extension, create a button and define the HTML for the button:
var $my_button = $('<div role="button" class="goog-inline-block jfk-button jfk-button-standard docs-titlebar-button">My button</div>');
The class definition uses Google Doc's CSS classes (which I found by inspecting the buttons I wanted to emulate) so that it blends in with the title bar.
Then, use ".prependTo" to inject the button into the Google Docs titlebar.
$my_button.prependTo($('.docs-titlebar-buttons'));
This created a nice button that looks like this:

Google Chrome Extension, new tab focus

I've been working on an extension for Google Chrome, this is my first attempt.
So far I've been able to run my extension in a new tab, but I wanted to know if there was any possibility to remove the focus from the omnibar/addressbar to some content in the tabbed window.
For Example, I'm implementing an input field or text area, and when a new tab opens, I want the blinking cursor/caret to originate in the said text area, and not the google omnibar.
Any possibility using jquery or any google chrome extension api?
I had the same problem. My solution was to use a "dummy html" file as the new page, and everything this page did was running the following JavaScript code (in an external JS file linked to from the dummy html file):
window.open("the-real-new-tab-page.html")
window.close()

How To Highlight The Text In PDF Files Through Chrome Extension

I am new to programming. I am creating a Chrome extension, which is when clicked shows a pop-up with many categories with check boxes. If you click the checkbox, the extension will interact with web page and highlight text related to selected categories.
Now my question is how to highlight the text in pdf files when I am clicking the popup page checkbox. Or how to interact with the pdf files from Chrome extension. Please help me.
I don't believe you can. The built in PDF renderer in Chrome is just a plugin. You can see that by viewing the source of the page.
