javascript identity.login not working

[eddiew28723578]

I have created an Adobe Acrobat form that has a textbox that retrieves the windows logged in user using JavaScript with identity.login. This works fine when the document is opened with the Adobe Reader. I have uploaded the document to our SharePoint Online. The document now opens in the browser in SharePoint Online, but, fails on retrieving the login of the user. How can I make this work?

Perhaps you are no longer using Adobe technology. What browser is it? You say it "fails" - what is the failure?

The browser is IE 11. The text box returns Undefined instead of the login, (e.g., abc1). The Adobe PDF Reader plugin is Enabled.

Did you read the reference entry for the "Identity" object?

This object is protected and requires a privileged context.  There is no way it could have worked in Reader unless, it was in a stamp script.
