Re: PDF links to javascript?

[Mike Blackstock]

Hi Phil!

Re.  Why do you want to do this?

My source code editor is a _javascript_ app that runs in the browser - "Code Mirror". For compilation, the source code is sent to a server over a node.js/socket.io websocket; when compilation is complete, server sends browser a signal and PDF is opened in iframe. I need 'point-and-click' events to call _javascript_ functions.

Thanks for responding and thanks for any help you can offer!

Subject: PDF links to _javascript_?

Is there a way to change the "textedit://uri"  mechanism in PDF point-and-lick links to point instead to a _javascript_ function in the webbrowser?

textedit:///path/guitar.ly:42:32:39

would instead be something like:
_javascript_:parent.handlePdfLinks("path/guitar.ly:42:32:39")

and the above would be executed on a click?

I've been looking around, but I know zilch about PDF documents; the closest
I got was this, which tells me it's do-able (I think)
