Way of adobe acrobat js api : Field->getAction?

I learned that adobe acrobat js api has method Field->setAction. http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/AcrobatDC_js_api_reference.pdf

Is there way to get Field Calculation in concole in Acrobat pro?

My goal is - to print in console all calculations performed on given PDF page. Then i can copy and save it as json/text file.

function getCalculations(pageN){
 for ( var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i++) {
  var fname = this.getNthFieldName(i);
  var field = getField(fname);
   if(pageN == field.page){
         //todo console.println(field->getAction somehow)
   }

 }
}

Thanks

Solution

  • A getAction() method has not been implemented. Feature Requests have been made, but Adobe has not really reacted positively to them.

    One point of difficulty is that there are also non-JavaScript actions possible, and then, the question is what to do in such a case…
