EVO HTML to PDF Converter allows you to add an Acrobat JavaScript code in generated PDF to be executed when the PDF document is opened in a PDF viewer. You can set open actions in the generated PDF document to display an alert message, automatically open the print dialog or set the zoom level of the generated PDF document.
An Acrobat JavaScript action is represented by a PdfActionJavaScript object which can be assigned to DocumentOpenAction property.
