Unlike other books on JavaScript, which explain how to write JavaScript programs for the Web, Extending Acrobat Forms with JavaScript is the first and only book to explain how to use JavaScript to create sophisticated, interactive documents in Adobe Acrobat. Acrobat expert John Deubert teaches JavaScript programming basics in the context of carrying out specific, useful tasks in Acrobat. For example, you'll learn how to manipulate Acrobat with JavaScript to perform calculations, retrieve data from a database, process form data, and more. And each tutorial is broken down into small, manageable chunks so as not to overwhelm you with long blocks of code. A one-of-a kind book, Extending Acrobat Forms with JavaScript is a great resource for anyone who wants to gain more control over Adobe's extremely popular Acrobat software.
