I'm trying to find Javascripting for pdf forms tutorials or examples of how to write the script and understand what logical operators, conditional statements, basic calculations are. Everything I search on is API/Web based. I want the old school "var a =this.getField("Name")" but am struggling to find anything. I have the Acrobat Manual, and a book from amazon, but looking for more to help my co-workers understand.

You'll also need the Acrobat JavaScript Model Reference and guide:
