Dear All,

I bought and installed recently Adobe Acrobat Pro DC version 2019.021.20061 and it's working fine. I still need please to store .js files for my won functions but I could not help finding where to store them? In the Pro version, I used to store the .js files under C:\Users\{your username}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\JavaScripts .

Best regards

Open Acrobat, open the Console window (Ctrl+J), enter the following code and press Ctrl+Enter:

app.getPath("user", "javascript");

Thank you for the reply.

I tried so and I got :

app.getPath("user", "javascript");
GeneralError: Operation failed.
App.getPath:1:Console undefined:Exec
2

undefined

I tested if the issue in getPath function but it was not as I run the following command and it retuned a value:

app.getPath("app", "javascript");

/C/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Acrobat DC/Acrobat/JavaScripts

I think I should create the javascrip folder fisrt but where should I?

Best regards

Then use the app folder. If it doesn't exist you can create it manually.

That's what I recommend my customers to do, too.
