Copy-n-Paste Script Library
Thom Parker
This is a collection of JavaScripts available for use in your PDF documents and forms. We have included a broad range of scripts to reflect most of the functions and methods available for use in Acrobat JavaScript, as well as frequently asked for scripts. This area is under constant development and new scripts will be added on a regular basis.How to use the Copy-n-Paste scripts
1. Scripts are grouped into broad categories , which are further divided into general scripting topics. Clicking on a category link below will take you to a page listing the general topics within the category.
(Example. Click on the "Document and Form Scripts" category below, then select a Topic on that page.
2. Each Topic page contains a general discussion of these types of scripts and ways they can be used, how the scripts work, and related resources on the site for learning more about how to use them.
3. Each individual script includes an information bar. The information bar contains very important usage information for each script including what field type it works best with, where to place the code, what version of Acrobat is applicable, and whether or not the script will work in Adobe Reader.
4. Each script has a set of 'orange" Show buttons labeled "How it Works" and "Code." The "How it Works" button describes how to use and modify the code, and the "Code" button displays a text box with the script for easy copy/paste into your own PDFs.
