+# JavaScript PDF Fixture Verification (bf-5wo1t)
+
+## Task Summary
+
+Located and verified the JavaScript PDF fixture file from the previous bead step exists.
+
+## Findings
+
+### Primary JavaScript PDF Fixture
+
+**File Path**: `/home/coding/pdftract/tests/fixtures/security/embedded-js.pdf`
+
+**Status**: ✅ VERIFIED
+
+**File Details**:
+- Size: 1.1K (1,120 bytes)
+- Format: PDF-1.4
+- Readable: Yes
+- Created: July 5, 2026 18:05
+
+**Generator Script**: `/home/coding/pdftract/tests/fixtures/security/generate_embedded_js.py` (3,289 bytes)
+
+### JavaScript Content
+
+The fixture contains documented JavaScript actions (from the generator script):
+1. **Catalog /OpenAction**: `app.alert("pwn")`
+2. **Page 0 /AA /O** (open action): `app.alert('page_open')`
+3. **Page 1 annotation /A**: `app.alert('annot_action')`
+
+### Current Extraction Behavior
+
+According to previous testing (bf-36gzd), pdftract currently extracts only 1 JavaScript action from this fixture:
+- **Extracted**: `app.alert("pwn")` at `catalog.openaction`
+- **Not Extracted**: Page-level and annotation JavaScript actions
+
+This may indicate incomplete JavaScript extraction or differences in PDF structure.
+
+### Secondary Fixture (with parsing issue)
+
+**File Path**: `/home/coding/pdftract/tests/document_model/fixtures/js_in_openaction.pdf`
+
+**Status**: ⚠️ Parsing Error
+
+**File Details**:
+- Size: 632 bytes
+- Format: PDF-1.4
+- Issue: Expected output shows "No /Root reference in trailer" error
+- Despite this error, hexdump analysis suggests the file structure appears valid
+
+## CLI Usage
+
+For testing JavaScript extraction:
+```bash
+pdftract extract tests/fixtures/security/embedded-js.pdf
+```
+
+## Acceptance Criteria Status
+
+- [x] JavaScript PDF fixture file is located
+- [x] File path is documented: `/home/coding/pdftract/tests/fixtures/security/embedded-js.pdf`
+- [x] File is readable: Yes (1.1K, PDF-1.4 format)
+- [x] File size is reasonable (> 0 bytes): 1,120 bytes
+
+## Verification Notes
+
+The primary JavaScript fixture `embedded-js.pdf` is verified and ready for use. The file contains multiple JavaScript actions and is successfully parsed by pdftract, making it suitable for JavaScript detection and extraction testing.
