Adding JavaScript Functionality to PDF Forms

Question

Hello,I work with PDF forms on a daily basis.  I have background knowledge of various programming languages and I am fairly new to JavaScript.  I am seeking JavaScript  resources that can aid with complex functionalities such as working with forms inside of forms to extract data in a text field, creating PDF 417. Are there resources available to aid with adding JavaScript Functionality to PDF forms?  If so, where should I look?[Moved from non-technical Forum Lounge to specific Program forum...

This is main page for the JS in Acrobat reference: JavaScript for Acrobat | Adobe Developer Connection

There's plenty of information available on these forums, as well as on https://acrobatusers.com/ and on commercial sites such as pdfscripting.com . You also should study the core JS syntax, but keep in mind that most tutorials are related to JS on web-pages, so you have to make sure you only use the non-web parts when you write JS code for Acrobat.
