I have a pdf with multiple fields to be filled by opening in IE/Acrobat only. I need to autotab all the fields in the pdf once, to achieve my objective. So, can an IE add-on or something else can automate the autotab on the pdf fields apart from writing JS in the field? Please provide with suggestions.

  • There's a bit of plumbing involved but it is possible. You can't link directly to the PDF, instead, create an HTML page and then use the tag to embed the PDF which can take 100% of the window. The reason you need to do this is so you can create a JavaScript "message" handler in the browser. The embedded PDF can then communicate with the HTML host. And the host can send instructions into the PDF. See the linked docs. https://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/acrobat_dc_sdk/2015/HTMLHelp/index.html#t=Acro12_MasterBook%2FJS_API_AcroJS%2FHostContainer.htm – joelgeraci Aug 30 '19 at 15:02

  • Don't use an iframe. Use an Object tag to embed the PDF in the HTML. – joelgeraci Sep 02 '19 at 14:36
  • But object tag doesnt works in ie, so i resorted to iframe – Dpseudo Coders Sep 03 '19 at 04:33
  • I'm fairly certain it does but try the embed tag instead if the iframe. – joelgeraci Sep 03 '19 at 15:09
