Hi
I have a web application which has HTML forms for users to enter inputs
into. The HTML forms send data to a servlet which uses itext to feed the
data into PDF forms, and then flattens them. However, some of the forms
run javascript for validation when opened which generally does something
along the lines of disabling part of the form depending on user input.
The PDFs were once where the users entered the data, but now that the
HTML does that, there's no need for the PDFs to do so, especially if
they're flattened and everything is disabled. But the javascript that
remains causes erros because the form objects no longer exist.
Thanks!

It can live in form objects.
It can also live in Annotations, Bookmarks, Pages, Documents, etc.
So when I flatten it, the form objects aren't there anymore, so the
javascript should be gone too.
Yes, I would expect that Form scripts have been removed when they are
flattend.
But there seems to be some left, which must be called when the document
opens.
That's one place, sure...
In the PdfStamper class, there is a function addJavaScript(String js),
which "Adds a JavaScript action at the document level", but how can I
remove it?
Document level scripts live in the /JavaScript dict off of /Names
dict off of the /Catalog dict. HOWEVER, a blanket removal of all scripts may
not be what the user intended.
Also, again, there are other scripts that may be present in the PDF.
What do you intend to do with those?
