Feature request to enable syntax highlighting for JavaScript set as an action

Post by rakunavi »

=== UPDATE ===================================================================
My request below was fulfilled by Ver 10.6.0 build 396.
I appreciate all the hard work and efforts of the support and development team.
==============================================================================


Hello all,

The PDF-XChange Editor allows JavaScript to be set in various places, but depending on where it is set, there are some places where the syntax can be highlighted and some where it can't. It would be appreciated if the syntax could be highlighted in all places.

  1. Syntax can be highlighted
    • JavaScript console on the form tab
    • JavaScript category of document properties
    • figure1.png
    • Syntax cannot be highlighted
      • Actions category of document properties
      • Actions for bookmarks and form fields
      • figure2.png
    Thank you for taking the time to read this message.

    Best regards,
    rakunavi

    Hello rakunavi,

    I believe that we already have a ticket in our system to make sure that the JS colouring is applied to any place where you can add JS code, but am unable to locate it for some reason. I will check with the dev team, and if needed we can create a new one.

    Kind regards,
    Stefan

    Hello rakunavi,

    Just a quick follow up. Our devs told me that they've made the necessary changes, and JS code should now be shown with the colouring syntax in all locations. The fix will be in V10.6 for which I do not yet have a release date.

    Kind regards,
    Stefan
