Yes, i'm seeking to detect files with scripts. Not static. I don't undestand 
what do you mean with "Maybe compare
with the preflight source code to check that you didn't miss something", can 
you elaborate on that?

Thank you.

Unclear what you're asking. Are you seeking to detect files with
javascript? If so, I'd rather build something something from scratch,
i.e. read the PDF specification and see where JS is used. Maybe compare
with the preflight source code to check that you didn't miss something.
