Monitors
The Acrobat JavaScript
Monitors
object is a read-only array of
Monitor
objects, each of
which represents a display monitor connected to the user’s system. It is available as a
property of the
app
object, and you may write customized Acrobat JavaScript code to
iterate through this array to obtain information about the available monitors and select one
for a full-screen or popup media player.
It is possible to apply filtering criteria to select a monitor. For example, you can select the
monitor with the best color, or if there are multiple instances, additionally select the
monitor with the greatest color depth. These criteria are methods of the
Monitor
object,
and are listed below in
Table 8.3.
