How to click a button on PDF open using Acrobat SDK Javascript / Any other library

[rayclank]

Generate a pdf using acrobat sdk javascript which does the following things:

• - It should contain a form with two input fields alpha and beta.
• - The form has a submit button.
• - I want to **submit** this form (click the submit button) **on document load** (trigger of the button) of the pdf **without** any prompts or user interaction.
• - This should submit the form data to a remote url.

The biggest challenge I am facing is:

I am unable to find a way to click a button on load of the document without any user interaction

Action: Click a button

(Can't find the button in the doc let's say using button id or button name)

Trigger: On document load

Any help/ideas are appreciated, thanks!

You don’t need to click the button on document load – you can simply execute the Submit action on document load.

How to assign an action on document onload? I can't find the option to execute an action on document on load.

Create document level JavaScript. That is executed on load. Mostly it defines functions, but code outside a function is executed at that time.

I have attempted to do this, it fails while opening in acrobat reader. If it's now too much trouble can you give an example (code snippet) ?

A quick web search turned up a nice page about document level (document opening) scripting from our friends at PDFScripting.com
