New content is in constant development and will be added on a regular basis to all areas of the site- new videos, PDF sample files, Copy-n-Paste scripts and really great automation tools.


pdfscripting.com was developed from the collective knowledge gained over six years of WindJack Solutions' developing and creating Acrobat and PDF scripting solutions for hundreds of clients all across the planet. WindJack Solutions' CEO Thom Parker is a well known and highly respected expert in Acrobat and PDF scripting, and here you will have access to a wealth of scripting knowledge and training materials from his personal library ( See Thom's bio here).

Scripting is a powerful tool you can use to control and automate many functions and features of Acrobat and PDF forms and documents. In fact, scripting can save you so much time and effort that it can literally change the way you approach your work. One barrier that we have come across again and again is the lack of a comprehensive information portal devoted to Acrobat and PDF scripting where Acrobat users and knowledge workers could go for information, tools and scripts to get their jobs done without the need to become a programmer themselves. We hope pdfscripting.com will go a long way to breaking down that barrier for millions of Acrobat and PDF forms creators.

If this is your first visit, please take a moment to explore the site and check out the Free Content area, where you can experience content from each department- Training Videos, Copy-n-Paste scripts, PDF sample files, and Acrobat automation tools. We're sure you will find it informative and valuable.
