Executing folder-level javascrips in Acrobat Pro DC

[felixs48850323]

Hi,

I need to execute a folder level javascript in Acrobat Pro DC (Version 2019.008.20071) which was accessible in Acrobat Pro XI through the Add-on tools menu item and worked just fine. Unfortunately I am missing the Add-on tools menu item in Acrobat Pro DC.

Does anyone know how to use folder level javascript in Acrobat DC via a custom toolbar button, like it was working before in Acrobat XI Pro?

I tried both, installing the script in the user and app javascript folder of Acrobat DC.

It should still work, if installed correctly. The menu item will appear

under Tools - Add-On Tools.

I tried it using a script which worked in Acrobat Pro XI and using a dedicated Acrobat Pro DC script which was available online.

Are there some setting that must be changed before using JavaScript in DC?

How do I install a JavaScript add-on in Acrobat Pro DC correctly?

Well, you need to make sure that these two settings are enabled (under Edit - Preferences - JavaScript):

- Enable Acrobat JavaScript

- Enable menu items JavaScript execution privileges

Beside that you just need to place your js file in the Javascripts folder and that's it.
