Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 62843
Ability to use JavaScript in pdf-forms
Last modified: 2020-05-06 18:38:19 UTC
When exporting a form to pdf it should be possible to use JavaScript according to the pdf-specifications ( http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/acrobat/index_advanced.html ). See this project: http://www.scribus.org.uk
->ab ( assigned to you only so you can pass it on to the next person ) any idea who this should really be targeted at (who does pdf support) ? it would seem to be a very specialised enhancement
ab->mmp: I'm not sure if this technically is more related to the Scripting Framework or to pdf export. Please evaluate priority, target etc.
It should be fine to could obtain more dynamics PDF's

I am no longer officially active on OOo. Please take over.
Necessary to do several exemplars of the same info in the same pdf, for example an administrative document : - one exemplar for the employee - one exemplar for the employer - one exemplar for the administration The same info (1st page) is repeated twice in the next pages.
is this still under study?
Well, both links in the original issue report are now obsolete. There are ISO Standards for PDF and it would be interesting to know what provision for scripting exists in those. But a larger problem is, if the ODT can't be scripted in the way desired, how would such scripting be conveyed into an exported PDF? And then what would it take to translate it into the exported PDF from however it is accomplished in the ODT. So it applies to both scripting framework, where and how scripting happens in ODTs, ODSs, and ODPs, and then how to map that into their PDF exports. There are probably some security, authentication, and safety considerations in all of this too. @argoon: It seems not so active. The classification as P3 trivial is a mystery.
It occured to me that this arose because PDFs are also offered as editable? More fun that.
Reset the assignee to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
The creation of an automatic calculation form in PDF with calc would greatly simplify the form exchanges whose objective would be to create purchase orders, membership orders and other PDF files for third parties who do not own OpenOffice.
C'est pas simple... moi je cherche a créer un formulaire avec writer et avoir une image chargeable sur le pdf, visiblement c'est pas possible...
(In reply to LAMBERT from comment #12) > C'est pas simple... Please don't speak in French here. This is an international project, all comments must be in English only.
My french is bad, but comment 12 sounds like (without using a trtanslator) that this is more a user request. Would it be better to ask on https://forum.openoffice.org/fr/forum/ ?
