> We have run across numerous PDFs that contain javascript actions on some of
> the form fields. When trying to set a value for the field, the data is there
> in the field, but only visible if you place the cursor in the field. And
> since we flatten forms before saving them, it looks as if the data was never
> populated. Some of the actions we've seen are like the following:
> AFDate_KeystrokeEx("mm/dd/yyyy")
> AFNumber_Keystroke(0, 0, 0, 0, "", true);
> As a workaround we are remove any actions associated with a field before
> setting a value by doing the following:
> {code}
> final PDField field = form.getField(fieldName);
> if (field instanceof PDTerminalField)
> {
> // Need to clear any actions (typically javascript) from the fields
> ((PDTerminalField)field).setActions(null);
> }
> {code}
