JS set access for all page children (reader 8 compatible & efficient)

[nikg-fh]

Hi,

unfortunately I have to make sure my JavaScript runs on Acrobat Reader 8.  Therefore I cannot use Page.acces = “readOnly” to set all of the elements on a page as not fillable. It only works in Reader 9.X

My guess is that I HAVE TO get node length of page, use FOR-Loops…  and set every element-access one by one  to “readOnly”.  I have 10 pages with 4 level-hierarchy and something about 100 fields to check.

Is there any other way to set access of all fields in Reader 8? I mean more efficient, without node length and FOR-Loops?

Not that I am aware of ....I suggest using a Scripting Object like in the lock all fields example that has been floating around this forum.

Hi, I am going to look for it. But I fear, it would work the same way I mentioned.

By the way, that piece of code does not work only in initialize-event (reader 8).

SAP does only support reader v8 (=>XFA), as far as I know.

Thank yo
