Hiding fields in a PDF

Hello!

I have a PDF document that has Javascript I do not want made available to those who use the document.

Is it possible to hide those fields so that the Javascript is not visible but maintain the document's functionality?

I want to protect the secret sauce even if the file is saved as a save-as.

Thank you for your assistance!

Thank you!

Any suggestions for the best way to obfuscate the scripts?

Be aware that certain Anti-virus softare and email providers might not like your PDF after this.

Use password encryption that prevents "changing the document".

Thank you so much! Perhaps I can use password protection with obfuscating the scripts?

Community Expert

Yes, you can use both.

You can obfuscate the scripts, but there's no way of protecting it completely.

Thank you so much! This gives me something to think about.
