javascript functions in PDF

Hi all.
I am creating a PDF document dynamically and need to add validations for different datatypes. Is there a concept of javascript functions in PDF?

Yes. http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/pdf/topic_js.html

Just like we have a set of functions in .js file and we include it in HTML to do client side validations, do we have anything similar in PDF?

Yes.

And if so, does ITEXT provides APIs to achieve it?

Yes.
You can set JavaScript at document level (PdfWriter.addJavaScript(...)) and
add JavaScript actions to (widget) annotations (setAction(PdfAction.javaScript(...))).


Any help is highly appreciated.

You'll have to consult the Javadocs. br, Bruno
