How do I create a document level javascript in Acrobat X? I'm trying to work with forms in my PDF files.

Thank you for your assistance!

Okay I found out how to launch the JS Console (debugger). Using this syntax to create the javascript,

this.addScript("ScriptName", "app.alert(\"Hello\"); // script code goes here as a string");

how do I insert this Document Level script (lines 1. through 7.) in it? I know how to set up the bottom part.


You need to convert the function into a string and then execute the code I provided with it as the second parameter.

By the way, you should consider upgrading to Acrobat Pro, where applying doc-level scripts is much easier.

It can only be done using a script, like this:

this.addScript("ScriptName", "app.alert(\"Hello\"); // script code goes here as a string");

Thanks but I’m not sure where to enter that script you suggested. I’m setting up auto tab and have a script to enter in a Document Level JavaScript.

Where do I enter your script?

Execute it from the JS Console.
