Hello, I am the beginner on pdf.

I would like to know have any javascript could interact with pdf from HTML page?

For example, I have a integrate a pdf into a HTML page and the pdf document is extrated from database. then from the client HTML page, I wanna modify the text field in the pdf document that extrated from database, after that I have a submit button outside the pdf but still within a client HTML page. After user modify the pdf text field and click the submit button, then it will submit the pdf document to my database.

Is there any javascript can perform such function? if there is, please help me.

Thank you very much,

Pricilla,

Take a look at the "IEBrowser/Acrobat Intercommunication" example on this web page. Scroll down to Extreem JavaScript.
