-\begin{comment}
-\paragraph*{Acrobat Pro~8.1 or later.}
-Start \textbf{Acrobat Pro~8.1}\footnote{The file will cause no harm if you
-install it in an earlier version of Acrobat, as early as version 7.} or
-later, and open the console window \textsf{Advanced \texttt> JavaScript
-\texttt> Debugger} (\texttt{Ctrl+J} for Windows or \texttt{Cmd+J} for Mac
-OS). Copy and paste the following code into the window.
-\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent]
-app.getPath("user","javascript");
-\end{Verbatim}
-Now, with the mouse cursor on the line containing this script, press
-the \texttt{Ctrl+Enter} key. This will execute this JavaScript. This
-JavaScript method returns the path to where \texttt{aeb.js} should
-be placed. For example, on my system, the return string is
-\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent,fontsize=\small]
-/C/Documents and Settings/story/
- Application Data/Adobe/Acrobat/8.0/JavaScripts
-\end{Verbatim}
-Follow the path to this folder. If the \texttt{JavaScripts} folder
-does not exist, create it. Finally, copy \texttt{aeb.js}
-into this folder. The file is read each time Acrobat starts.
