Field object

Represents a PDF form field, and this object contains methods and properties that provide a way to modify form fields (like you would visually with the form field tools) via JavaScript code.


Example: Changes a hidden field to be visible.


var oField = this.getField("hiddenFieldName");

oField.display = display.visible;
