Hi!
I have a form with a "Refresh" routine that does calculations, etc.

I would like to run that routine from another Button. How do I run the JavaScript in one button, from another button?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 7.0, Windows

You should place the code in a document-level JavaScript. You can then call the function from as many buttons as you want.

Using the document level function also makes the function available to any JavaScript action including custom calculations, bookmarks, page actions, print actions, etc. Another advantage is if you import a PDF with document level functions and then delete the imported pages, the document level functions remain in the PDF. So if you carefully design your functions, you can easily reuse them in other PDFs.
