Abstract
A method for managing script added to an interactive document or fillable, electronic form. The method includes receiving user input for generating a script and then generating a script based on the user input. The method further includes as part of script generation providing a header in the script that includes a management flag or data in a header block indicating that the script is managed, a managed script object, and an edit verification value such as a cyclic redundancy check value. After the script is generated, the method includes parsing the document to determine whether the managed script has been edited or to otherwise verify the script's integrity. The method includes when the script has been edited modifying the management flag to indicate the script is released from script management. Unmanaged editing may be detected by comparing a stored edit verification value with the header value from each snippet.
