JavaScript to extract button Actions Alerts (JavaScript)

Question

Sometimes I receive interactive PDFs that I need to translate. Some buttons have actions that display alerts in a pop-up window when clicked. It can be time-consuming to check all the buttons to see if any of them have those alerts.

I'm looking for a script to export those alerts to a .txt file, and then import it back once the alert text is translated. Is it possible?

PS. I know it is possible to get all code using: Tools > JavaScript > All JavaScript. I just wanted an automated way to export and import it back.

Thank you.
