APJavascript
APJavaScript is a command-line utility that allows you to add new document-level JavaScript actions that are stored in text files to PDF documents. Reports on existing document-level JavaScripts in documents can also be generated.
APJavascript supports PDF 1.4 and higher.
If APJavaScript shows that your document has scripts you don’t want, you can use Appligent’s APStripFiles utility to remove them.
All APJavaScript commands run from the command line, start with the apjavascript command name. The command name is followed by one or more of the following options:
- Insert JavaScript to execute when the document:
— opens
— closes
— when or after the document is saved
— when or after the document prints
- Display existing document level JavaScripts
or document action JavaScripts
- Modify encrypted documents by providing the Owner password
- Perform full, garbage-collected save (similar to the Save As command in Adobe Acrobat)
- Save output as a linearized file

Modes of Operation
You can run the APJavascript in a variety of ways:
Basic operations The simplest way to run APJavascript
is from the command line using option flags to tailor the output.
Automation options APJavaScript can be scripted for multistage
processing and used with Appligent’s other products
as part of a complete PDF workflow solution.
Optional Web service Expose the functionality of APJavaScript to your entire network with APConductor, a separate Appligent
Web service product. Use it to programmatically pass the function parameters
