You misunderstood my point...
You are only looking at Actions that appear at the document level. But Actions
can also appear at the Page level, the Annotation level, the Widget level, the
Bookmark level, etc. You need to be looking for actions in each and every one
of these places.
I recommend another cover to cover read of the PDF Reference to get you
familiar with PDF...You're going to need it!

Hi Leonard,
Also, be aware that that check is ONLY checking document-level actions, but
that PDF/A disallows those actions EVERYWHERE that Actions are allowed (of
which there are many).
Yes i know. My intention is to specifically remove the document level actions.
According to pdf spec i identified 3 places for document level actions:
1. 'JavaScript' key in the name dictionary
2. 'AA' key in the catalog dictionary
3. 'OpenAction' key in the catalog dictionary
Or do you know some more?

My question/remark is that there are certain keys missing:
For instance i can check wether the openaction contains javascript (code is
shortened):
root.get(PdfName.OPENACTION).get(PdfName.S).equals(PdfName.JAVASCRIPT)
However i can not do the following because there are no such keys:
root.get(PdfName.OPENACTION).get(PdfName.S).equals(PdfName.MOVIE)
root.get(PdfName.OPENACTION).get(PdfName.S).equals(PdfName.SOUND)
I want to check it since PDF/A ISO defines it this way:
"The Launch, Sound, Movie, ResetForm, ImportData and JavaScript actions shall
not be permitted."

ToM

You use iText to retrieve dictionaries, then you check certain keys
of that dictionary. You probably check keys with a PdfName as value.
OK, so far, so good, but what exactly is your question?
