How do JavaScript actions work?

Soda PDF allows you to use all capabilities specified in the JavaScript™ for Acrobat® API Reference

This gives you an extensive object model. This may be different from JavaScript as it is used in browsers.

Below is a short example demonstrating how to set this up using JavaScript inside a PDF Link Action.

• Open the Insert Tab

• Select the Link tool

• Select an area you would like to cover with the link

• A Window with the available actions pops up. Add A JavaScript Action here

• Insert the following code:

var answer = app.alert("Do you say yes or no?", 2, 2);



/* Question icon, Yes/No button. */

/* 0 = error, 1 = OK, 2 = Cancel, 3 = No, 4 = Yes */



if (answer == 4)

{

   app.alert("You said yes!");

}

else

{

   app.alert("You said no!");

}

When you click on the link you have created (change to view mode first!), you will see the alert box popping up.
