We are using Acrobat javascript API in which we try to execute folder level javascript, the execution stops when I navigate to the menu options. Is there any way, the javascript execution should not stop?

Attached video for reference.

No. When a modal dialog is opened (such as the application's menu or a pop-up window) all scripts are halted until it is closed.

Is Acrobat single-threaded or is there a way to run scripts on a separate thread than the UI? We are trying to run some code in the background, while allowing the user to interact with the Acrobat. Is this possible?

Yes. No.
