This book is really good to learn how to use JavaScript with Acrobat. Though it was written for version 5 (unluckily, there's not a lot of books about forms in Acrobat...), it's still relevant in version 7 and 8!

The only problem with this book is that it only covers the forms in Acrobat, LiveCycle Designer was born at the time the book was written... So, if you want to build forms in LiveCycle Designer, it may be a good book, but you'll have to check in Adobe's documentation to know how to convert your code for LiveCycle Designer. I would have given this book a 5 stars if it wasn't so old. It starts at the beginning for unexperimented JavaScipt users, but do enough for experimented JavaScript users like me to know how to convert their code for Acrobat (for example, the document object doesn't exists, or should I say is different from regular JavaScript. You use the application (or app) in JavaScript for Acrobat (ex: app.alert();)) By the way, I used it to teach JavaScript for Acrobat with Acrobat 7.0 users...
