Reader versus Browser

[DrDave6]

I have designed a LC form (with lots of JavaScript code).

I just realized that the form can be viewed and completed within a browser or the Acrobat Reader.

Since I have done all my testing with the Reader, my question is, "Can I expect the form to function the same, within a browser?"

I'm assuming the principle browsers like Explorer, Safari, and Firefox -- at their latest versions.

Thank you for all feedback.

Yes.

I love that answer -- short, and to the point.

I half expected that I might get a few "you need to watch it" or "consider that."

Is there any "advise" within this context?

Yes.

Keep in mind that PDF uses its own JavaScript engine. There may some fringe cases IF you are performing operations that involve the browser plug-in or ActiveX Control. Perhaps you should ask yourself if the script uses any functionality that is not backward compatible in Reader. In other words, will the form behave the same in Reader 5 and Reader 9.
