General ⇒ hyperref | JavaScript and Forms

[chrisfortytwo]

I am trying to produce a PDF form with Javascript calculations that I can either export or save. Acrobat Reader will run the Java correctly, but won't let me save or export my form data to PDF.
I've tried evince and a couple other the GPL PDF viewers, but they don't run Java correctly (and sometimes won't even use the form correctly).

I've tried opening it in Acrobat Professional, and changing the setting to "readable", but somehow, my JavaScript code gets corrupted.

I'm wondering if the problem is because I'm mixing {insdljs} with {hyperref}

Does anyone have any suggestions for somehow making this do what I want?

Below is a sample of some of the things I am trying to do:
(change borders on Open, do calculations, hide fields during print).

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt, letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage[pdftex,colorlinks=true,
	pdftitle={Sample},
	pdfsubject={Reader},
	pdfauthor={Chris},
	pdfpagemode=UseNone,
	pdfstartview=FitH,
	pagebackref,
	pdfhighlight={/N}]
{hyperref}
\usepackage[pdftex]{insdljs}

function onOpen() {
	this.getField("Name").borderStyle = border.u;

function calc() {
	this.getField("Sum").value = this.getField("One").value + this.getField("Two").value;

function prePrint(){
	this.getField("One").hidden = true;

function postPrint(){
	this.getField("One").hidden = false;

\end{insDLJS}

I use pdflatex on Ubuntu 11.10 (home) and Fedora 13 (school). I used a trial version of Acrobat Professional X to attempt changing permissions.
