Hi, I have a form that check for data validation using script. If the "Enable Acrobat JavaScript" is not check at the Adobe Reader, the form data validation will not be executed. How can I solve this problem? Any script to enable the javascript? There is this AddRequirement method for the document object, I tried but don't seem to work. Thank you.

    Thank you for sharing. The point is that I designed a form with script validation on certain fields. If the user use an Adobe Reader with the setting for 'Enable Acrobat Javascript" not checked, those validations using script will not be executed. The form data will not be correct. How to warn user if the setting is not enable? Or don't even let the user to proceed on with opening the form. Is it possible? How to do it? Better still, if user open the form, the setting is enabled. Can do?

    You may not want to enable JavaScript yet. See Adobe PSIRT of May 1, 2009.

    But if you want to enable JavaScript in Adobe Reader and Acrobat using the following instructions below:

    1. Launch Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
    2. Select Edit>Preferences
    3. Select the JavaScript Category
    4. Uncheck the ‘Enable Acrobat JavaScript’ option
    5. Click OK
