AA stands for Additional Actions. These actions are triggered by events, such as "get focus", "blur", "keystroke", and so on. As you found out, these triggers/actions are used to format a field. You can remove this formatting by remove the AA entry. Of course: this doesn't remove the JavaScript in the PDF, but maybe that's not an issue for you: it doesn't hurt anybody; the only "problem" is that the JavaScripts adds some bytes to the file size. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
