Question

PDF version of "JavaScript for Acrobat API Reference" ?

Hi,

 

I know that the "Acrobat JavaScript API Reference" is online at https://opensource.adobe.com/dc-acrobat-sdk-docs/library/jsapiref/index.htm

However, I always prefer (call me "old fashioned") the PDF version of such documents.  I found a PDF version of the above document dated 2-1-21 (quite recent in the overall scheme of things) on a non-Adobe website.  I'm wondering if Adobe still maintains/posts the PDF version of this document on their website, and thought that there might be a later version.

Another PDF document I found on the non-Adobe website is "Developing Acrobat Applications Using JavaScript".  I would also be interesed if Adobe maintains/posts later versions of this document on their website?

Thanks for any thoughts anyone has on this.

Dave

All of the Acrobat JavaScript documentation were originally PDF.  You may be able to find more of these old docs floating about somewhere on the internet. Some of them are years out of date. I'm surprised you found something so recent. Are you sure it's not an old reference?  But the good news is that not a lot has changed in years, so even though many references and guides are years old, they are still mostly good. I've got a huge library of documents I've been downloading since 2001.  

 

I don't think Adobe has any interest in generating this info in PDF, I haven't seen any, but I could be wrong. 

 

Good luck finding more.

    Thanks Bernd and Thom for your replies.  I double-checked the dates on the Acrobat PDFs I found and they were all dated 2-1-21.  I was likewise surprised to find such recent PDFs, I'm guessing these were the last PDF versions of the Acrobat SDK docs ever generated.

    The document is part of the Acrobat SDK.
