Using the JSObject interface
Acrobat provides a rich set of JavaScript programming interfaces that can be used from within the Acrobat environment. It also provides the JSObject interface, which allows external clients to access the same functionality from environments such as Visual Basic.
In precise terms, JSObject is an interpretation layer between an OLE automation client, such as a Visual Basic application, and the JavaScript functionality provided by Acrobat. From a developer's point of view, programming JSObject in a Visual Basic environment is similar to programming in JavaScript using the Acrobat console.
This section explains how to extend Acrobat using JavaScript in a Visual Basic programming environment. It provides a set of examples to illustrate the key concepts.
Whenever possible, you should take advantage of these capabilities by using the JSObject interface available within the AcroExch.PDDoc object. To obtain the interface, invoke the object’s GetJSObject method.
