Hiding JS in Acrobat-Forms

Is there a Possibility to hide the JS-Code in the Document?
We have developed special Forms, but do not want to have restrictions in extracting pages.
Some users will fill the form in Reader, and then the form has to be finished in Acrobat.
But we will not show the JS-source Code to the Acrobat-User.

Is there an idea?

Thanks!

You can't hide it (from Acrobat users), but you could try and obfuscate it using the usual techniques of escape sequence / eval loops.

If extracting pages is not allowed bei security reasons, might there be a possibility using folder level scripts / trusted functions to extract pages as well?
Or to remove the encryption by a trusted function, then extracting pages, and then setting the security again?

Thank's for the fast response!
