Key Notes
You can open the JavaScript editor to associate a JavaScript action with an object at
various locations (or "levels") in a PDF document. For example, you can associate a script
at the location of a particular field in a form or at the document level, in which case the
script is available from all other scriptable locations within the document. Access to the
editor depends on where you want the script to take effect.
For details on accessing and using the JavaScript editor at different locations within a PDF
document and at the application level, see the ASN JavaScript training module on
"Location Matters. "
