Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Hello,
I am not able to detect if the pdf has the Javascript. I have attached a sample pdf file for your reference

In code I am checking for the Javascript.Keys. if the count >0 then I decide it has the javascript for my validation.

 IList keys = (System.Collections.IList)pdfdoc.JavaScript.Keys

For this pdf file this is throwing null reference exception.

Exception:
System.NullReferenceException: 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Sample pdf file
'PDF for B48.pdf (54.4 KB)

We were able to notice that the exception was fixed which was thrown by the API but JavaScript was still unable to be detected in 21.5 version of the API. Therefore, another ticket as PDFNET-49932 has been logged in our issue tracking system for the sake of correction. We will let you know once it is resolved. Please give us some time,

We apologize for your inconvenience.

Please try to use Aspose.PDF for .NET 21.10 in order to prevent the issue that was logged. Please also note that Document may contain JavaScript in a several clauses:

  • directly in the document;
  • actions of page;
  • annotations of page;

To get all JavaScript you need to check all of this points.

    Document pdfdoc = new Document(dataDir + "PDF for B48.pdf");
    var keys = (System.Collections.IList)pdfdoc.JavaScript.Keys;
    //search JavaScript in actions of page
    List<JavascriptAction> javaScript= new List<JavascriptAction>();
    var onOpenAction = pdfdoc.Pages[1].Actions.OnOpen;
    var onCloseAction = pdfdoc.Pages[1].Actions.OnClose;

    if (onOpenAction!= null&& onOpenAction is JavascriptAction)
        javaScript.Add((JavascriptAction)onOpenAction);

    if(onCloseAction!=null&&onCloseAction is JavascriptAction)
        javaScript.Add((JavascriptAction)onCloseAction);

    //search JavaScript in annotations of page
    foreach (var annotations in pdfdoc.Pages[1].Annotations)
    {
        foreach (var action in annotations.Actions)
        {
            if(action is JavascriptAction)
                javaScript.Add((JavascriptAction)action);
        }
    }
