Using Acrobat Pro and Javascript to make PDF

Question

I'm trying to work my way through the Acrobat Javascript Examples before starting on making a javascript application for it. I'm stuck on the very first example:

var newDoc = app.newDoc();

if (newDoc == "undefined")
  app.alert("Undefined NewDoc");

A new PDF Document does indeed appear, but the newDoc variable is undefined.

Below is a link to the example I'm using along with snippet of Acrobat's JavaScript Debugger I'm using. Why is the newDoc undefined?

Answer 1

I got it working. You have to highlight the code you want to run before executing.
