Hello,

I have what seems to be a simple task, but I haven't been able to find anything that resembles simplicty on this.

In the following example, I would like to capture the "NAME" and plug it into appropriate form fields in my pdf document.

"http://www.mysite.com/mydocument.pdf?NAME=John Doe"

I would like to capture NAME on the "Page Open" trigger using Javascript. A simple code example would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8.1.3, Windows

Take a look at "doc.URL". The documents URL property contians the original URL that was used to open the PDF so it retains the query string.
