Acrobat Javascript Code Roundtrip to external editor not coming back to Acrobat

[sladefuselier]

OK, so the subject pretty much describes it.

I've got Atom opening up when I click Edit in my text field properties for a custom calculation script.

It opens a file named "JSEdit.js" which I put code into, save and close, but Acrobat doesn't seem to do anything. I can close the Text Field Properties screen, and reopen it and there is no script in there, so I click edit and I get a new blank JSEdit.js file to enter code into again.

Any ideas?

Try a other editor.

Is the editor being closed completely? Acrobat waits for the editor process to die, before opening the temporary script file

Hi,

This looks very odd, I just tried with atom, and it appears to close correctly, but Acrobat never comes back, looks like there is a problem of Acrobat detecting that Atom has finished with the file.

As @Bernd_Alheit suggested, I guess the only option is to use a different editor.
