Hi guys, I have tried these examples (Example 1 , Example 2 ) and create a trusted function in folder level script to surpass the default warning message in the app.alert() with another alert title. However, the trusted function seems like not working in the distributed version of my pdf form. As i know, this will only work if the trusted function has been installed on the user's system but will error out when not installed. How can I solve this problem?

When the trusted function doesn't exists use the app.alert()

You can't, by design. This is a crucial security feature.

Any documentation on this security feature?

Yes, it's documented in the JavaScript for Acrobat API Reference document (although the way it's worded is somewhat outdated). For example:

I don't want the default alert message title ("Warning: Javascript Window"), it is misleading for consumer when filling the form.

But you know the answer already... In order to do that you have to run the script from a privileged context, such as a trusted function that's installed on the local machine.
