This is a PDF file.

Use a PDF library to process the JS, if it has any.

Something of Adobe's perhaps. Where did you get it from?

What is "javascript encoded" supposed to mean? Do you mean javascript
that has been encoded (in some unspecified way, and you are asserting
that it is javascript), encoded using javascript (how could anyone
tell), or encoded using a built-in javascript encoding method such as
- encodeURIComponent - (or - encode -)? The latter case can be ruled
out as the text contains a percent symbol which is followed by a space
characters, and that is not permissible in URI encoding.

Hi,

Your question is poorly formulated.
The reader wonders:
1) Where does that piece of code come from?
2) What did you post excactly? Are that linenumbers? Are they in the
code, or were they added by the program you use to open the file in
question?
3) What do you mean by JavaScript encoded?
If one encodes some file with C, Java, Perl or JavaScript, how can you
tell by the endresult (=output)?

Please be more clear and provide us with some context if you want a
reasonable response.

Well, if you want to know how a PDF file is constructed you must dive
into the specification.
But the good news is that Adobe opened up the specs a few years ago.

If you want to learn more, try this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Document_Format

Or more in-depth:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference.html

Make sure you have a few days off to study that. ;-)

Good luck

That depends on the viewer application, of course, but generally PDF
documents support a scripting language that is perhaps a conforming
implementation of ECMAScript (I haven't checked its grammar yet) and that
Adobe calls "JavaScript" (it isn't).

I think you do not know what you are doing, or what you are talking about.

Perhaps something else.

Most certainly.
OK, if it not an obfuscated javascript code, what is this?

Binary data, interpreted as (in your case) KOI8-R encoded characters.
Any other file that would not be plain text would look similar.

Thanks for clear and exhaustive answer. Now its clear.
The document contains javascript in object 6 - it's important, as we can
see, this two filters, FlateDecode and ASCIIHexDecode are both deprecated
lossy filters. What is better lossless filters (3-4 ones) for replacing this
old deprecated stuff?

Regards,

is this javascript encoded?

The document contains javascript in object 6, if I'm remembering the
PDF format correctly, and that stream needs to have FlateDecode (gz
deflate) and ASCIIHexDecode (hexadecimal text to ASCII) applied so as
to be readable.

All this is typical of the kind of obfuscation you see in malicious
PDFs.

A PDF file contains both text and binary data. So, it will be scrambled.
http://pdf.jpedal.org/java-pdf-blog/bid/30454/Why-can-t-I-just-open-and-edit-a-PDF-file

The code is not obfuscated. It is zipped using a loss-less compression
algorithm.

To process the JS, it is wiser to use a server-side PDF library - same
for adding the JS.
