Class JavaScriptSettings

java.lang.Object

com.qoppa.pdf.JavaScriptSettings

public final class JavaScriptSettings
extends Object

This class contains settings for running JavaScript. It has options to enable / disable JavaScript as well as to enable JavaScript popups and to enable error reporting. The settings are as follows

JSEnabler - This object is called back when a document is loaded to determine if JavaScript will be enabled. The default is to have this field null, which implies that JavaScript is disabled. There is a simple implementation class provided to enable / disable JavaScript: JavaScriptEnabler.
AllowPopups - This flag determines if JavaScript alerts will pop up in a message box or be printed to the console. Note that since some alerts require user input, an Exception will be thrown if this flag is set to false when an alert contains more than one option. Default is false.
SilenceErrors - This flag determines if formatting errors generated from predefined formats will pop up in a message box or if the system will beep. The default setting of true means the system will beep instead of popping up a message box.

public static void setJSEnabler(IJavaScriptEnabler enabler)

Set the JavaScriptEnabler. If this is set to null, shouldEnableJS() will always return false, thereby disabling JavaScript. A default implementation of this interface is provided in the JavaScriptEnabler class, that takes true or false in its constructor.
