Hello,

 

I am trying to programmatically determine if an XFA file is static or dynamic. I can convert the files to xml but I do not know what the flag to check for is. 

 

Thanks

You just have to read the XFA specification, suss out the schema, and use an XML parser to check. Conceivably you can take shortcuts, but the place to start is the XFA specification. I think it may be optimistic to think someone here has already done the research on this...

Read the documentation of the XFA object in the Acrobat JS API Reference file. There's an example there of exactly that.

Try the Acrobat SDK forum, then.
