Hi Member 10969291, You can check the javascript codes used for the field with these simple steps : 1. Open the pdf in Adobe Acrobat Pro (IX or higher) . 2. Right click and find the Properties for the field. 3. Navigate to the Actions tab and you can see the javascript codes added for any events occurring in the field. 4. You can find the validation script written for the field in the Validate tab under custom validation script. 5. The calculation script can be found under the Calculate tab under custom calculation script. Hope this helps. :)

thank you Jyoshna but I need to know if a form field has javascript programmatically I need to insert javascript code into form fields but this operation will destroy any code already present: for this reason I need to check if a form field has javascript code BEFORE using the "SetAction" method... sorry for bad english

To perform just about any kind of interactive, sophisticated, and/or useful feature in a PDF form or workflow solution requires scripting. How many times have your heard "You need a script for that".
