JavaScript? Trying to get a handle on doc.icons -Issue 1

[Garrett_Cobarr@adobeforums.com]

I got this right out of the Acrobat Javascript Ref with the only difference being that I made it a document level function script that I call from the console, they just typed the whole thing in the console.

//list all named icons for doc
function getIconList()
{
for (var i = 0; i < this.icons.length; i++) { console.println("icon[" + i + "]=" + this.icons[i].name); } }

But I got this error...

getIconList()
TypeError: this.icons has no properties
4:Document-Level:getIconList
undefined

Isn't 'this' kosher at the document level in reference to the doc object?

If there are no icons in the PDF then you will get that error. Before you attempt to use the icons object, you should check to make sure it returns somthing other than null.

Thanks George! Now I am not chasing that ghost.
