I have a project that was handed to me that belonged to a programmer no longer with the company and have very little experience in Adobe and Java so please bare with me.

We have a program in vb 6 that opens a PDF document. The document has a Java Script on the Page Open Event that imports data. The user can than add and change information on the PDF form. My task is to give the user the ability to save the PDF to another PDF file for future recall. I have the save as part working however the JavaScript thats embedded in the original PDF comes with it hence overwriting the data upon reopening the copy of the pdf.

Is there a way to remove the javascript from VB before I perform the save or a way to save the PDF To PDF where the Javascript is not brought over into the New PDF?

Thanks
FireFett
