Trying to locate my "user" folder to place some .js files

Using an iMac OSX 10+ and Acrobat Pro DC... I have run "app.getPath("user","javascript");" in the console but it comes up undefined. The corresponding "app" path request works fine.

Thanks for this. It turns out that the directory was Adobe/2015/JavaScripts for me. My application says that it is Pro DC but this is where its root directory appeared to be.

All sorted now and thanks

For anyone reading this: the folder will  be different between the permanent license and subscription versions.

"Undefined" just means that the command did not return anything. On a Mac, you do not get a path unless that directory exists.

Try creating this folder and then run the command again:

/Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat DC/JavaScripts
