Import Image In Acrobat Using Javascript (preferred On Document-level)

I am going to implement a dynamic legend using JavaScript in Adobe Acrobat. The document contains a lot of layers. Every layer has an own legend. The origin idea is to implement t

Solution 1:

Do you have the Console fully activated in Acrobat? If not, do so and look for error messages you get.

The first variant does not work, because myDoc is not defined (unless you have done that before you call the importImg function).

If you want to import the image into the newly created file, you will have to make a reference to the Document Object you create with newDoc(). Actually, that would make the link to myDoc, as in

var myDoc = app.newDoc(1,1)

(are you sure you want to create a document measuring 1x1 pt?)

The next issue with the first variant is a bug in Acrobat, which discards "floating" Icon Objects when saving the document; you'd have to attach the Icon Object to a field to keep it; this field can be hidden, or even on a hidden Template page in the document.
