Hi Chandran,

The following is from Ted Padova and Angie Akomoto's "PDF Forms Bible" (you should get yourself a copy as it covers both Acroforms and LCD forms in great detail). AUC members get a special discount.

"Application Event
docReady: After the form is opened in Acrobat or Adobe Reader.

Process Events
form:ready: After the form design and data are merged. The document has not yet been presented to the user on the screen. It is still stored in memory, and the initialize, calculate, and validate events are complete.

layout:ready: After the form design and data are merged the layout is applied. This is when pagination occurs."

Hope this helps,

Dimitri
