Sanitize is exactly the feature we've been waiting for for court filings and would eliminate the 'print to pdf' options we've been using. But can you sanitize via javascript? Can I put a button on a form that my users can press to sanitize when they have completed filling in the fields? I was not able to find any documentation.
Also, IMHO, if buttons are visible but do not print, I would think sanitize should remove them since they are for functionality but are not part of the actual form. Obviously I could code to hide the buttons and then sanitize (provided I can do this via javascript), but it's just another step. My preference would be to do this programmatically.
Thank you!

There's no JS function linked to the Sanitize action, and although you could perform some of the steps with individual procedures (such as flattening form fields) most of the changes it makes are not possible to script.

Ahh, but there is something you can do to sanitize a PDF using JS. Starting in Acrobat 9, there is a JS function for running a preflight profile. So, if you can find a profile, or create one that fits your needs, then you can run it with a script.
