Hi kishil123,

Here are some JavaScript tutorials from the Learning Center here that should be helpful-

Hi,
Thanks for your help. But I am unable to find the way.
I gone through the links what you gave. I want to save the file "FileBrowseTest.js.tmp".
Its giving error.I thought there may be some thing with security issue. I went and check in Security Tab.
For PRINTING, CONTENT COPYING, CONTENT COPYING FOR ACCESSIBILITY, FILLING OF FORM FIELDS, its Allowed
For DOCUMENT ASSEMBLY, PAGE EXTRACTION, COMMENTING, SIGNING, CREATION OF TEMPLATE PAGES, its Not Allowed.

And when I go to Acrobat->preference->javascript, I am not able to see the texting.
I gave [b] "app.getPath("app","javascript");"[/b] on mouseUp event for Button2, and when I click on a button its opening a JavaScript Debugger. Its giving [b]" NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this poroperty or method. App.getPath:1:XFA:FORM[0]:BODY[0]:Button1[0]:mouseUp".[/b]
[b] "app.getPath("app","javascript");"[/b] is not recognising in LiveCycle.

I am not sure where i am doing wrong.

Hi kishil123,

I missed the part of your post that said you are developing in LiveCycle Designer. Those articles I pointed to and the browseForFileToSubmit function are for Acrobat PDFs, not LiveCycle Designer PDFs.

LiveCycle Designer and Acrobat are 2 completely different software programs and the resulting PDFs from each are not interchangeable between the two programs as far as programming/development goes. There are scripting methods and functions in Acrobat that won't work in a LiveCycle Designer PDF and visa versa.

app.getPath is a priviledged operation and can only be used in a trusted function- a button event is not a trusted location.

You can ready about Trusted functions in Acrobat here-

What code can I write on a button for "browse" in LiveCycle Designer 8.0

Hi kishil123,

There is no equivalent for that function in LiveCycle Designer. It's only available in Acrobat JavaScript which is a different animal than LiveCycle Designer JavaScript. It was up to the developers of those two separate programs what JS functionality they would include, and you've run into one that is in Acrobat but not LiveCycle Designer.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

I didn't find [b]config.js[/b] in [u]C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\Javascripts[/u].

if not where should i find that file. I am trying to follow your steps. But i am unable to do so.
Please advise me how can I find Config.js and modify that.

Thank you
