I would like to access the javascript functions of an embedded pdf in a webpage. How can I do this? for example: Press a button to start the animation of a 3D annotation.
Would be great if you could drop me some lines of code! Thanks a lot!

Communication is possible between JavaScript on an HTML page and JavaScript in a PDF being displayed on that page. However, it is a very limited process and more than just a few lines of code. Please take a look at the "IE browser/Acrobat Intercommunication example on this page.

Scroll down to the "Extreme JavaScript" examples.

I have an HTML page with JavaScript in the header of the page. How can I convert the HTML page to PDF while preserving JavaScript functionality in the PDF file?
