Hi Balder, thanks for your answer, but I still cannot resolve this. Following the documentation about Indirect Objects those, that have a '0' as their generation Number reside in object streams. I tried: currLink.getAsStream(PdfName.JS); which does not return "null". I think that's good, since the method finds an actual stream that is successfully cast down. Now I am not sure what to do with this stream object. Testing for keys gave me [/Length, /Filter] and printing the LENGTH key shows that I have streams of different sizes, so I am working on different objects, also long annotations in the pdf produce long streams and short annotation short streams.Yet, I don't know what to do with these Streams, is there an easy way to convert them back to human readable strings? I am still expecting JavaScriptCode at some point.

They look like: "6 0 R" or "8 0 R". And the pdf specifications at '12.6.4.16JavaScript Actions' don't give much more information either. The 6 0 R or 8 0 R are indirect references to 'objects" defined somewhere else in the PDF. (read the section about syntax in the PDF spec section 7.3.10 Indirect objects ) You should get the real object. Don't try the get method of PDfDictionary but try another getAs... method this should resolve the indirect reference.
