location of user javascript folder

Contributor ,

Iäm reading this https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/user-javascript-changes-10-1.html

but it seems to be outdated information. Where can I find the proper documentation for Acrobat - JavaScript.

 

Which version of JavaScript is used in Acrobat? ES3?

Is there documentation for developers who know JavaScript (I consider myself a fullstack web developer) but are confounded by Adobe's approach to JavaScript?

The documentation for developers is part of the Acrobat SDK.

Your knowledge of web JS will not carry over to Acrobat JS very well. The core functions are the same, but everything else is different, as Acrobat has its own set of objects, properties and methods.
