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 PD

No big rush. I can open the form in a web browser if necessary. My idea was to have a Native Document Viewer like the document management app we currently use, but I am not using my app for that yet. I just generate filled forms for service at the moment. I will create a bug report with a sample

Re: PDF widget and XPDFviewer

widget syntax is a little simpler. It does not appear that a PDF widget is a PDF Viewer, at least the widget’s name is not recognized as the name of a viewer when I try to call a function like XPDFViewer_Get(viewerName,property). So do I need either to create a widget or create a viewer? And

Hi Folks Currently you can extract text in the widget by setting the hilitedRange and getting the hilitedRangeText. It wouldn’t be that hard to add extracted text to the documentPages property. The PDF widget was built to meet the requirements for a client rather than to match the features of
