It appears that Acrobat has changed to way some automation functions work between Version 8 and 9.

I have had code that added fields with javascript in them to act as a date stamp when the document was printed. The functions I had working added these fields in the background without the PDF actually becoming visible. Now I understand to use the AFormAut.App features requires the document be visible in the viewer.

However, There is supposed to be a way to use JavaScriptObject to do this in the background but I cannot get it to work. The addField generates an error Invalid Argument Type...

Can someone help with this?
