In my last article I described how to access two undocumented identity object properties. I repeat that undocumented scripts are not published by Adobe so their functionality can disappear with a software update. I have three additional undocumented tricks for you today.

A lot of my knowledge came from reading and participating in the online forums, especially acrobatusers.com. Whenever I came across an interesting script, idea, or technique, I tested it out and saved it for future reference. Some of today’s tricks came from the previously mentioned forum. I believe in giving credit where credit is due so I’ll link to the questions and answers if I can find them. I discovered the undocumented identity object properties in my last post by trial and error when I had a hunch they might be buried in the software.
