Javascript to determine Reader Extensions

Hi,

I´m currently designing some dynamic forms in Designer, where later on different Reader Extensions will be assigned to via ARES server.

Is there any way in Javascript within the PDF to determine which Extensions/Rights have been assigned or to list the extensions?
regards

Al

In Acrobat you can read out the Reader Extension information via JavaScript as follows:

this.appRightsValidate({}, 2, false)

It returns an SigInfo object you can get many details from such as:

this.appRightsValidate({}, 2, false).appRightsDocument; // FullSave
this.appRightsValidate({}, 2, false).appRightsForm; // FillIn,SubmitStandalone,Add,Delete
this.appRightsValidate({}, 2, false).appRightsSignature; // Modify

 

To check if there are any Reader Extensions applied to a PDF:

this.appRightsValidate({}, 1, false); // true or false

I don’t think so it’s possible using JavaScript
