This worked just fine in Acrobat Pro 9 but doesn't work in X. What gives?

i hate acrobat x.  getting stupid errors , missing sorts of metadata functionality.  can't browse (nevermind edit) metadata in explorer, , see no solution anywhere on net.

 

i used javascript in acrobat 9 no problems.  in acrobat x  syntax error missing ( before condition 8: on row 9 , can't proceed.  different javascript in 9 changed in x, , find these changes?

 

 

/* filename metadata (title, author) */

var fname = this.documentfilename;

var deliminator = " - "

var lookfor = fname.lastindexof(deliminator);

 

// splice components

 

if lookfor = -1

{

var string1 = fname.slice(lookfor + deliminator.length, fname.length).replace(/.pdf/gi, "")

}

else

{

var string1 = fname.slice(fname, lookfor)

var string2 = fname.slice(lookfor + deliminator.length, fname.length).replace(/.pdf/gi, "")

}

// insert values

this.info.title = string1

this.info.author = string2

this should not work @ because have errors in code, in line:

if lookfor = -1

it should be:

if (lookfor == -1)

 

another error you're defining string1 , string2 within 1 block of code, , try access them outside of it. variable scope error , cause assing "undefined" values title , author properties.
