PDF Widget and JavaScript

[Ralph DiMola]

The last I knew the JavaScript engine is not implemented in the PDF widget.

Hi all. 

This is a long shot, but is there any kind of PDF gadget in Livecode that can run javascript? I am specifically wanting to generate an FDF file from fillable forms. The javascript is fairly straightforward: 

This.ExportAsFDF(true, false, null)

This will work in a javascript enabled PDF application and will use the currently open PDF fillable document, generating an FDF file named after the PDF name (without the dot3 extension) appended by “_data.fdf” 

It would be quite the luxury to be able to do this in Livecode, otherwise I have to pay for a licensed Pro version (I think they are all subscription based now) and the ONLY thing I need from the Pro version is this function.
