EVO HTML to PDF Converter allows you to add an Acrobat JavaScript code in generated PDF to be executed when a button of a PDF form is clicked. You can set button 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 PdfFormFieldAction property of a PDF form button.
