Could tell me where is the default installation help directory (AcrobatXI)? Thank you!

Syntax

ASBool AVAppOpenHelpFile(const char* fileName, ASBool doSearch)

Opens a specified help file from the default installation help directory. If the help file is not found, it optionally opens a dialog box asking if the user wants to search for the help file.

as above, so where is  the default installation help directory?

Runs this code from the Acrobat JavaScript console window:

app.getPath("app","help")

On my system it returns this path

/C/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Acrobat DC/Acrobat/

At one time Acrobat had a handy help handler, I used it for a while. It was obsolete many versions before XI. If this API works at all, it will just do a normal document open. Avoid.
