# Named Actions

| Minimum Version | Q1 2025 |
| --------------- | ------- |

RadPdfProcessing supports **Named actions** that PDF viewer applications are expected to support. The `NamedAction` class offers the public `Type` property that specifies the type of the action representing the menu item to execute.

The following table lists the available *Standard* `NamedActionType` options.

> note PDF viewer applications are expected to support the standard named actions. Additional names can be added, but not all PDF viewers support the *NonStandard* actions.

| Standard Named Actions | Description                              |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| `NextPage`             | Go to the next page of the document.     |
| `PrevPage`             | Go to the previous page of the document. |
| `FirstPage`            | Go to the first page of the document.    |
| `LastPage`             | Go to the last page of the document.     |

> note Viewer applications may support additional, nonstandard named actions, but any document using them is not portable. If a viewer (for example, Adobe Acrobat, RadPdfViewer, or a web browser) encounters a named action that is inappropriate for a viewing platform, or if the viewer does not recognize the name, it takes no action.

RadPdfProcessing also supports the following *NonStandard* `NamedAction` types:

| NonStandard Named Actions | Description                                            |

## Adding a Named Action to a PushButtonField

The following example demonstrates how to create a PDF document with a [PushButtonField](https://www.telerik.com/document-processing-libraries/documentation/libraries/radpdfprocessing/model/interactive-forms/form-fields/pushbuttonfield) that triggers a printing action when displayed in a viewer and the user presses the button:

```C#
PushButtonField pushButtonField = new PushButtonField("SamplePushButton");

PushButtonWidget widget = pushButtonField.Widgets.AddWidget();
widget.Rect = new Rect(10, 10, 250, 50);
widget.HighlightingMode = HighlightingMode.InvertBorderOfAnnotationRectangle;

NamedAction printAction = new NamedAction(NamedActionType.Print);
widget.Actions.MouseUp.Add(printAction);

widget.AppearanceCharacteristics.Background = new RgbColor(123, 165, 134);
widget.AppearanceCharacteristics.NormalCaption = "Print";

widget.TextProperties.FontSize = 20;
widget.TextProperties.Font = FontsRepository.Courier;
widget.TextProperties.Fill = new RgbColor(0, 0, 0);
widget.RecalculateContent();

RadFixedDocument fixedDocument = new RadFixedDocument();
fixedDocument.Pages.AddPage();
fixedDocument.AcroForm.FormFields.Add(pushButtonField);
fixedDocument.Pages[0].Annotations.Add(widget);
```

> important In **.NET Standard/.NET (Target OS: None)** environments, fonts beyond the [14 standard ones](https://www.telerik.com/document-processing-libraries/documentation/libraries/radpdfprocessing/concepts/fonts#standard-fonts) require a [FontsProvider implementation](https://www.telerik.com/document-processing-libraries/documentation/knowledge-base/pdfprocessing-implement-fontsprovider) to be resolved correctly.
