Re: [iText-questions] How to launch javascript code for PDF formfields event.

Tue, 03 Oct 2006 18:46:11 -0700

Hi Paulo,
Thanks a lot for your help,
 
According to your reply, i must put the javacript code in XFA ( in case that Designa form was used). I'm wondering that we can use Itext's API to do this?
If yes, please help me know some guides.
 
Best Regards,
Tuan

It's not iText specific, it's called an Acrobat form as opposed to a
Designer form.

Designer forms are a completely different beast. You'll have to put the
_javascript_ in the XFA. See
