JavaScript Loops

JavaScript loops are very handy for repeating scripts, counting things, and automating processes. They can be executed easily from the JavaScript console in Acrobat Pro. The variable in a loop is incremented (or decremented) to determine how many iterations should be performed. Here’s a simple loop that can be run from the console to return the numbers 1 through 10:

for(var i=1;i<11;i++)
{
console.println(i);
}
