FIGURE 2.2 Error detected by the JavaScript editor In Figure 2.2, the quotation mark to the right of the string is missing. Key Notes You can open the JavaScript editor to associate a JavaScript action with an object at various locations (or "levels") in a PDF document. For example, you can associate a script at the location of a particular field in a form or at the document level, in which case the script is available from all other scriptable locations within the document. Access to the editor depends on where you want the script to take effect. For details on accessing and using the JavaScript editor at different locations within a PDF document and at the application level, see the ASN JavaScript training module on "Location Matters." 22 Acrobat JavaScript Scripting Guide
