How to use javascript code in a plugin ?

[nicolas_PUSET@adobeforums.com]

Hi,

I'd like to use javascript in my plugin but after reading the JS API reference, i still don't understand where the code should be placed, and to call it from my plugin.

I'm quite new in Acrobat SDK and developping applications in Acrobat using Javascript, so I hope it's not a dumb question...

AFExecuteThisJavaScript() is the API that you want to use to execute arbitrary JavaScript from your plugin.

Thank you Leaonard,

I had already found that 'AFExecuteThisScript' procedure but ity seems that it execute a script passed in param as a string. What about if I want to execute an external '.js' file ?

You could try reading the file and passing it as a string. Not sure if
newlines work, but it's worth a try.
