Hiding fields in a PDF

[Senoj Tech]

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!

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.

Use password encryption that prevents "changing the document".

[Senoj Tech]

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

[Bernd Alheit]

Yes, you can use both.

[Senoj Tech]

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.

Thank you so much for the caution. I did not realize that would affect those items. I'm seeing there is no sure-fire way to protect your work.
