Hello,

im using QuickPDF version 7.25 with ActiveX.

Is there any way to remove a custom format (java) script from a formfield?

Thank you.

Hi Wolfgang!

1. I would read the formfield-properties out of the file.
2. Flatten the relevant form-field.
3. Create a new form-field over the old one with the old properties.

Something like this should work.
Perhaps Andrew has another idea ;-)

Cheers, Ingo

Hi Ingo,

thanks for the quick response.

To flatten the formfield were my first thought, but there are problems too.

When there are one or more formfields with the same name in the document I get the error "-2147418113 - The method 'GetFormFieldTitle' for the object 'IPDFLibrary' has failed".

I think thats because the reference for the fields is gone.

Hi!

So no chance i fear. Identical fieldnames is a problem.

First i've thought renaming the fieldnames with an additional counter

but SetFormFieldValue works only as initial value :-(

Cheers, Ingo

There can be more than one Javascript action set for a FormField. The following function allows you to set each Javascript action.

You should be able to delete the JavaScript for the appropriate action by setting it to an empty string.
