Adding new functions
Go to Edit/Javascripts... and click on Add. Choose a name for your new function and click on OK to launch the built-in JavaScript editor.



Let us call our first function RunOnLaunch and start with a simple alert that will be displayed on launching the PDF formular in Adobe Reader:

function RunOnLaunch { app.alert('Welcome to the Scribus Demo Form!'); }

Launching JavaScript functions
Go to File/Export/Save as PDF and click on the Viewer tab. Choose the JavaScript to be executed from the Special Actions drop down list. Save the PDF document and open in with the Adobe Reader to see how it works.
