It's in the Adobe SDK documentation. Specifically the Acrobat JavaScript Scripting Guide Page 82. Many of the methods in Acrobat JavaScript are restricted for security reasons, and their execution is only allowed during batch, console or menu events. The Acrobat JavaScript Scripting Reference identifies these methods by a padlock symbol in the quick bar. This restriction is a limitation when enterprise customers try to develop solutions that require these methods and know that their environment is secure. Three requirements must be met to make restricted Acrobat JavaScript methods available to users. ? You must obtain a digital ID. ? You must sign the PDF document containing the restricted JavaScript methods using the digital ID. For details on where you can obtain digital IDs and the procedures for using them to sign documents, see �Creating a certifying signature� in Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Help. ? The recipient should trust the signer for certified documents and JavaScript. For details, see �Managing digital ID certificates� in Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Help. All trusted certificates can be accessed by selecting Certificates from Advanced > Manage Digital IDs > Trusted Identities in Acrobat�s main menu. Click Edit open and view a certificate. To enable JavaScript execution, check the "Trusted for JavaScript" check box in the certificate. The environment I'm developing for will be secure and we can utilize the Win2k Client Server Key option for sharing public keys. I must be missing something pretty basic, as this seems like pretty standard functionality. i.e. I'm opening a template PDF, importing data into the form, attaching digital signatures and then saving the form with a name derived from one of the field values. I figured it would take a couple hours to have the saveAs working, BUT it's turned into a whole day affair with no resolution in sight. Am I taking an incorrect approach to this whole process?

I'm not familiar with any of this stuff in connection with Acrobat JavaScript. Where are you reading it?
