Question

A button that spawns a hidden template doesn't function on Acrobat Reader using iPad. Any ideas?

Hello all,

So within Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, I inserted a button that spawns 3 hidden templates (basically duplicated pages) via Javascript. This function works within any desktop application, however, as soon as I try to use it for the iPad/Android Tablet, the button is recognized but it is not functioning. Why does the transition to mobile devices disable the functionality of the button that creates the pages when the button is clicked? This PDF that I am editing will be used on iPads and needs to spawn these duplicated pages with similar form fields.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Thanks

var f = this.getField("c1");
if(f.isBoxChecked(0)){
this.getTemplate("2").spawn();
   }
else {
     this.deletePages(1);
}

Acrobat Reader on iOS or Android doesn't support this.
