"Hide" a preSign event for Reader version 8

[Eric68000]

Hi all,

I'm using the preSign event for my form, and for some different reasons those forms will be open with Adobe Reader 8 or 9.

As the preSign is not compatible with the version 8, is it possible to "deactivate" the presign event if the user has the version 8 of the Reader?

It's really a particular case, because the form must be compatible with version 8 and 9 of Reader, except for my preSign treatment: this one can be ignored if the version used is the 8.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

If you wrap your script in the preSign event in an if statement, which first checks the application version.

if (app.viewerVersion >= 9)
{
     //your script here
}

If the user has Reader 8 then the script will not run.

If you are going to have an alternative approach in a different event for users with Reader 8, then a similar approach would work in that different event:

if (app.viewerVersion < 9)
{
     //your alternative script here
}

Hope that helps,

Niall
