Hi John and many thanks for your really clear explanations on this subject. As someone with literally NO knowledge of Java Script. you've really spelt everything out clearly.

I've tried to use your script, and a tweak from another post, to populate a pdf - and when I try it in published form, nothing happens.

Any chance of sharing my code with you please?

Hi Kevin_BDLD

Would be happy to help out - just a quick update though:

There has been a change in most browser security settings that can cause my earlier code to fail - please see the article here:

Tighter security settings in browsers can impact dynamically loaded JavaScript libraries. | Articulate - Community

If it is that you are using the unpkg JavaScript repository - there is a quick fix in this post - if that still doesn't work, let me know and I can take a look at your code.

Best regards, John
