Javascript in PDF is a powerful tool but there is little or no information available to PDF Converter users of how to use it. Or it is not accessible to me.

I have performed the example stated in the help page for Javascript, and it works well when used EXACTLY how it is defined in the Help article. However, when I try it in the Javascript Console, the answer is: "RangeError: Invalid event type." Cannot understand why this is not working on the console. Do you have any clue for that?

Adobe does have more support than Nuance on this topic. See

livedocs.adobe.com/.../wwhelp.htm

I have tried some of the methods and they do work, but.... the answer is: Should I rely on the fact that Adobe Javascript is 100% compatible with Nuance's?

Comments are welcome.

Thank you in advance.

Juan - would love to know whether you've managed to find out any further info.

I am desparately trying to add javascript to a custom dynamic stamp, based on materials that are readily available for Adobe Acrobat.  

I agree - there appears to be painfully little documentation and support on this point.

What I don't know is how to control when the javascript is triggered (ie to only use if the stamp is being applied).

Any assistance would be appreciated!
