Tokenized Acrobat JavaScript Security Model
In order to maintain security for cases in which Acrobat JavaScript connects to data sources
external to the current document without user interaction (excluding console and batch
sequences), a token-based security scheme is used to match and validate JavaScript
resources
and operations (a
resource
is defined as the combination of a protocol and a host).
Each JavaScript is provisionally granted a token, which is matched against the resource.
