Issue
How do I call the Scan menuitem using the javascript/Visual Basic interface?
Solution
The connection between Javascript and Visual Basic is the JSObject object. To get the full list of menuitem names, please refer to the Core API Reference under the Lists section.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim gApp As Acrobat.CAcroApp
    Dim gPDDoc As Acrobat.CAcroPDDoc
    Dim jso As Object
    Dim avdoc As Acrobat.CAcroAVDoc
       
    Set gApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
    Set gPDDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
    Set avdoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
       
    If gPDDoc.Open("c:\sample.pdf") Then
        Set avdoc = gPDDoc.OpenAVDoc("c:\sample.pdf")
        Set jso = gPDDoc.GetJSObject
        'using javascript to call Scan menuitem
        'jso.App.execMenuItem ("Scan")
        gApp.Show
        avdoc.Close (True)
        gPDDoc.Close
        gApp.Exit
    End If
   
    Set jsObj = Nothing

End Sub
