Derrick,

Yes, as Rob said, it is possible to "Batch" the process of inserting field
level JavaScript in all fields in an existing PDF file.

An example is the following code, which I got at a PDF conference, I think
from Max Wyss:

// Enumerate through all of the fields in the document.
for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i++)
{
app.alert("Working on field " + i + " " + this.getNthFieldName(i) + ".");
var f = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));
f.setAction("OnFocus", "SetBGColor();");
}

Then add this function, for example, as a Document-Level function:

function SetBGColor ()
{event.target.fillColor = color.yellow;}

Yes, It's also very useful to use a naming convention on the feilds so all
feilds that you'd want to update together have the same prefix.

RE: Batch Process

Is it possible to "Batch" the process of inserting
field level Javascript (all fields in doc) in an
existing PDF file (Acrobat 5.x and up)?

Example: Background field color "On Focus"

Thanks for any info,
Derrick
