Actually, you are reading it wrong. Don't know where from you get the conclusion that "in screen/web mode the program generates javascript". "The possibility to create PDF forms with embedded JavaScript scripts" means that's it possible to _intentionally_ create JavaScript script and _intentionally_ embed them in PDF form elements such as text fields, e.g. to validate or calculate their value. That's it. You could also define a JavaScript script to be executed on opening your PDF form in Acrobat reader. > the problem i was having was with the js in the "date" function. when i > set the field to "plain" the problem vanished. > > evidently, the js compiled by scribus has a bug that does not produce > correct js. that's my guess based on what the tutorial says and the > actions that i have taken to correct the problem and the cues given by > acrobat 5. Please submit this issue to the Scribus Bug Tracker http://bugs.scribus.net have fun:) Maciej ___________________________________________________________ Der fr?he Vogel f?ngt den Wurm.
