Javascript appears to stop working in Acrobat Reader

[jimc39793961]

I have a number of javascript functions in a form, and they all are working.  However, it appears that the form stops processing any javascript functionbs, and I am forced to completely exit Acrobat and restart it.  Then all the functions work as expected.

Has anyone else experienced this?  I happens both on iOS (Acrobat DC Pro v 2019.012.20036) and Windows (Acrobat X v 10.1.16).

There is no Acrobat Pro on iOS. Macos?

[jimc39793961]

I am sorry. My mistake. Yes. MacOS, not iOS.

Does you use Acrobat Reader or Adobe Acrobat?

[jimc39793961]

I use both Acrobat Reader and Acrobat Pro.

Not all Javascript code will work in Acrobat Reader.

[jimc39793961]

Thanks Bernd. I am aware of that, but the scripts I am running do work in both.  Eventually Acrobat (reader AND Pro) stops executing the JavaScript and I am forced to shut down Acrobat, restart it, and reload my PDF.  Then everything works again.  Very frustrating.

You can open the console/debugger with ctrl-j or cmd-j.

[jimc39793961]

Thanks.  I will do that the next time this occurs and respond with the contents of the console/debugger.

Ok, since you are on Mac or Windows, the JavaScript console is available to you. Do any messages appear? If the messages stop, what is the last one?

[jimc39793961]

Hmmmm.  Looks like I have runs a number of other PDF files and scripts.  I will clear and try to reproduce the error.  Do I also need to have the debugger enabled in my Preferences?
