I'm currently working on customising my UI ribbon bar in Word 365, and I'm wondering if there's a way to add external application buttons, specifically Acrobat Add-in buttons, to my custom tab.
The goal is to consolidate all my frequently used buttons into one tab for seamless accessibility. Since Acrobat provides useful buttons within its Add-in, I'm curious if there's a method to "call" or integrate these buttons into my XML code for the custom UI ribbon.
I revised Adobe forums, VBA forums, Word forums, YT videos and nobody mentions this at all. I have seen this on a MS 2007 custom tab and I believe it should be possible to replicate for 365. Picture attached of what I am expecting to reproduce (this is extracted from MS 2007 or older) Custom UI ribbon tab with Acrobat buttons in DD - MS 2007
Has anyone successfully achieved this or has insights into how it can be done? Your guidance on this matter would be highly appreciated!
This is what I am trying right now but still not working. Tried 'button' instead of 'control' didn't work either. Not sure how to include this buttons into the 'PDF group'
