Adobe doesn't generate JSEdit.js in Temp for External Editor
Hey guys, I've got a weird issue that I'm pretty sure is caused by my work's local security policies:
I use Notepad++ as my external editor. Recently (like 7 months ago), I found I wasn't able to use it. When I try to open a script through Adobe Acrobat into the external editor, Notepad++ opens with the following error: "C:\Users\130027~1\AppData\Local\Temp\acrobat_sbx\Adobe\Acrobat\DC\JSEdit.js" doesn't exist. Create it?
Options are 'Yes' and 'No'. 'Yes' creates a blank file JSEdit.js, which will load back into Adobe Acrobat just fine. 'No' creates the standard new file, which I can manually save as JSEdit.js and then Adobe Acrobat will load it on close.
My home copy of Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017 doesn't have this issue.
My questions:
- If I'm right and this is security policy blocking Adobe Acrobat from writing to it's own temp directory, is there a way I can point this at another direct that Acrobat does have write access to?
- Is there another way I can pull scripts out of a PDF that doesn't require writing to the Temp directory?
I've been using the built in editor for the past 7 months, but this has come to a head as I have to completely restructure and redesign the (currently) 35 scripts in my main project due to performance issues.
I appreciate any help y'all can give me.
