Hello,
i'd like to know which are the major changement into acrobat 9 regarding javascript.
i've developed some scripts with adbc connection to mdb database and other loaddefault elements. well all worked perfectly with acrobat 8 but when i passed to release 9 it didn't work.
what's the matter? i tried to explore the new referenceof javascript but with no result. problem looks like to regard loaddefault because after inserting value the connection is established and all return to work. colud i think is connected to advanced protection ?
thanks to all, i hope to recieve some info about.
What's change with acro9 script?

You can find all the changes and the full reference at [url=http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/javascript.php]Acrobat Developer Center - JavaScript for Acrobat[/url]. You will need to open the table of contents and look for the 'what's new' section.

Have you checked the console window so see if a specific error is reported?
The ADBC object is turned off by default. You have to manually change a registry setting to turn it on.

Support for this object is vanishing quickly. Which means that it may start to operate erradically. If I were you I'd start to look for a different way to connect to your DB. For example, using a LiveCycle form as a proxy.

Edit: It's under JavaScript - JavaScript for Acrobat API Reference - New Features and Changes
But your best chance is check the console and see exactly which command causes the problem, and then look it up in the (new) reference. You can also post it here.
