Depends on the application, but generally speaking, yes.

Just to clarify, by "app" I meant the text editor, not Acrobat.

However, if you're editing a folder-level script then you do need to restart Acrobat for the changes to take effect, yes.

I don't like to use external editors at all because you have to close the application entirely after updating the code, which is annoying. So I use the internal editor when possible and plain-old Notepad when the code is too long for the internal one.

However, I use Notepad++ to actually write the code, and I just copy and paste it into the internal editor when needed.

That way I can keep Notepad++ open at all times and can update the code without having to restart it constantly.
