Avoid javascript SOLVED

[wings software]

Hi,

Is there a way to avoid embedded javascript to be executed when opening a pdf in the ActiveX Viewer? I did a test and I can automatically open a (potentially dangerous) web page using launchURL().
Since it is possible that my users open a pdf file that comes from an untrusted source (email) I want to avoid all automatically executed javascript.

Thanks,

Jan

Hello Jan,

Disabling JavaScript in general could prevent some files from working properly, if they rely on some code for e.g. their form fields. A better approach would be to handle the events wherever a JS is executed.
I would recommend you to take a look here:

Hi Jan.

I want to avoid all automatically executed javascript.

You may disable JS-executing fully by:

Code: Select all

pdfCtl.SetProperty("JavaScript.Enable", "false");
pdfCtl.SetProperty("JavaScript.WarnOnExecute", "false");

HTH.
