The last I knew the JavaScript engine is not implemented in the PDF widget.

Subject: PDF Widget and Javascript

Hi all. 

This is a long shot, but is there any kind of PDF gadget in Livecode that can 
run javascript? I am specifically wanting to generate an FDF file from fillable 
forms. The javascript is fairly straightforward: 

This.ExportAsFDF(true, false, null)

This will work in a javascript enabled PDF application and will use the 
currently open PDF fillable document, generating an FDF file named after the 
PDF name (without the dot3 extension) appended by “_data.fdf” 

It would be quite the luxury to be able to do this in Livecode, otherwise I 
have to pay for a licensed Pro version (I think they are all subscription based 
now) and the ONLY thing I need from the Pro version is this function.
