Adobe Air: PDF Cross Scripting (Part 2).

Part two in this series looks at how to get the PDF to speak to the javascript in the HTML. In the end the code is very light and easy to understand. However, it is very particular.

The problem:

Getting this seemingly simple process to work is full of headaches. The examples to go off of are few and extremely far between.

The solution:

I’ve extended the original demo to include a method to post data from the PDF back to the HTML document.

The files:

Source files

Adobe Air Package

Rant:

I hope this starts to open doors in document processing. In my third demo I hope to do a ActiveJs and PDF mashup where youu save a form to a sqLite DB.
