I'm looking for a working code example involving communication between a web page and its embeded PDF (via the hostContainer objetct). Any body have done such a thing? It's not platform or Browser-centric. Just have to be a working example. I've look in the JavaScript Documentation for HostContainer, but it contains only the PDF Javascript part and I'm having a little trouble figuring out how to make it work on the other side... On the net, everybody seems to face same problem as me.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi jiepher,

Here's a link to an example using the HostContainer Object-

Info on this document from the WindJack Solutions Site-
"This is a link to a framed web page. PDF documents can be loaded into either of two frames from an URL. If the documents contain the correct JavaScript, the browser and the PDF Page can send messages to one another. An example PDF is provided. Messaging is done with the New "HostContainer" object in Acrobat 7.05. Must have Internet Explorer (Windows only) and Acrobat 7.05 (Reader or Professional)"


Hope that helps,
