JavaScript is the cross-platform scripting language of the Adobe Acrobat family of products that includes Acrobat Professional, Acrobat Standard, and Adobe Reader.

This functionality includes the following features, among others: Processing forms within the document, Batch processing collections of PDF documents, Developing and maintaining online collaboration schemes, Communicating with local databases, Controlling multimedia events.
