Question

Where did my scripts/macros go?

Acrobat just automatically updated itself, it would appear. How do I go back to the prior version? It seems to have deleted my scripts or macros or whatever they're called in Adobe lingo, which are very important to our regular processes and workflow. If I can't restore the old version, where the heck have they disappeared to? I really don't relish re-doing these from scratch! And now I'll have to re-train my fill-in employee for the days I'm not here to do anything, since the entire UI seems to have changed from the ground up. This is so disruptive.

    Try disabling the new (and buggy) UI via the Menu button at the top-level, and (hopefully) your scripts will return to their original place. If not, you'll need to find the .js files (they were probably not deleted) and adjust them to work with the new UI version.

      Yes, I discovered that when I went to export images from a PDF and Acrobat said that wasn't available yet, that I'd need to "Disable New Acrobat" under the View menu. That also brought the "Action Wizard" back where it belongs. I hope they fix all this before we're forced to use the new UI.
