[jira] [Created] (PDFBOX-1754) Preflight doesn't detect JavaScript for some PDFs

Johan van der Knijff created PDFBOX-1754:
--------------------------------------------

             Summary:  Preflight doesn't detect JavaScript for some PDFs
                 Key: PDFBOX-1754
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1754
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Preflight
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
         Environment: Win 7
            Reporter: Johan van der Knijff
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.0.0


I just did another round of testing with the Adobe Acrobat Engineering PDFs (using revision 1530740 of Preflight). Some of these files contain JavaScript, but this is not picked up by Preflight. Three examples:

http://acroeng.adobe.com/Test_Files/classic_multimedia//Disney-Flash.pdf
http://acroeng.adobe.com/Test_Files/classic_multimedia//Service%20Form_media.pdf
http://acroeng.adobe.com/Test_Files/classic_multimedia//Trophy.pdf 

Both Adobe Acrobat's Preflight component and an additional check with a Hex editor confirm that these files do actually contain JavaScript.

PS: great to see the improvements in the latest version of Preflight! 

PPS: the full results for all the files in my test dataset are here, just in case anyone finds this useful:

Cheers,

Johan
