-\section{Introduction}
-
-Because some of the \app{Acrobat} JavaScript methods have security
-restrictions, they can be only executed in the console window, or as part
-of a batch sequence, or from the JavaScript folder reserved by
-\app{Acrobat} for that use. The developer (of {\LaTeX} packages or {\PDF}
-form documents) may want to use these restricted JavaScript methods as
-part of document assembly. To use the restricted methods, they must be
-called from the user JavaScript folder. The scripts are contained in a
-\SC{JS} file that \app{Acrobat} reads when it first starts up.
-
-In this article, we provide detailed steps for locating the user
-JavaScript folder. For {\AEB} and {\AEBP}, the files \texttt{aeb.js} and
-\texttt{aeb\_pro.js} are placed in the folder. Other JavaScript files may
-be placed in the folder as well, for example, the \texttt{config.js} file
-is one that is commonly used for general purposes.
-
-Before we get started, if you are using a version of \app{Acrobat} prior
-to version~8.1, you need not read any further. The security restrictions
-described below were not in effect for those versions.
-
-\section{Installing the JavaScript support files}
-
-The functionality of {\AEB} and {\AEBP} depends, to some extent, on the
-proper installation of their JavaScript support files.
-\begin{itemize}
- \item \AEB: For authors using the $\app{dvips}+\app{Acrobat Distiller}$
- workflow, \texttt{aeb.js} is required; this file is not used by
- \app{pdflatex} or \app{xelatex} users.
-
- \item \AEBP: For authors using the $\app{dvips}+\app{Acrobat
- Distiller}$ workflow, \texttt{aeb\_pro.js} is required; for authors
- that prefer \app{pdflatex}, \app{lualatex}, or \app{xelatex} as the
- {\PDF} creator \emph{and who own} the \app{Acrobat} application,
- the \texttt{aeb\_pro.js} is required with the \opt{useacrobat}
- option of \AEBP. When using the \opt{nopro} option of \AEBP, the
- JavaScript file \texttt{aeb\_pro.js} is not used.
-
-\end{itemize}
-The placement of the JavaScript files has changed over the years and is a
-function of the version number \meta{ver}. Start \app{Acrobat} and open the
-console debugger window by pressing \texttt{Ctrl+J} (for \app{Windows OS})
-or \texttt{Cmd+J} (for \app{Mac OS}). Now execute the code
-\texttt{app.getPath("user")} in the console window. To do this, press the
-\textsf{getPath} button provided below, which copies the necessary code to
-the console window.
-\begin{equation}
-\begin{minipage}{.8\linewidth}
-\begin{Verbatim}[commandchars={!~@}]
-app.getPath("user");!copyGetPath
-\end{Verbatim}
-\end{minipage}\label{display:getPath}
-\end{equation}
-Now, with the cursor on the line containing the script, press the
-\texttt{Ctrl+Enter} (for \app{Windows OS}) or \texttt{Cmd+Enter} (for
-\app{Mac~OS}) key. This will execute the JavaScript and return the `root'
-path to the user's application data for \app{Acrobat}.
-
-The rest of the instructions depend on your operating system,
-\app{Windows} or \app{Mac}.
-
-\subsection{For users of \app{Windows OS}}
-
-There are several cases, jump to the numbered paragraph that describes your
-version (\meta{ver}) of \app{Acrobat}.

-\paragraph*{{\Stepi}For $\boldmath\text{\meta{ver}}$, $\boldmath 8.1 \le
-\text{\meta{ver}} < 10.1.1$.} For the \app{Windows OS}, executing the script
-in display~\eqref{display:getPath} returns a string of the
-form:\footnote{This string is for \app{Windows OS} beyond \app{WinXP}.}
-\begin{equation}
-\begin{minipage}{.8\linewidth}
-\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent,fontsize=\small,commandchars=!()]
-/C/Users/!meta(username)/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Acrobat/!meta(ver)
-\end{Verbatim}
-\end{minipage}\label{display:path}
-\end{equation}
-Navigate to this folder location. The correct location for the \SC{JS}
-files is in the \texttt{JavaScripts} subfolder. If the folder does not
-exist, create it. The final path for the JavaScript support files is then
-\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent,fontsize=\small,commandchars=!()]
-/C/Users/!meta(username)/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/
- Acrobat/!meta(ver)/JavaScripts
-\end{Verbatim}
-Finally, copy \texttt{aeb.js} (and \texttt{aeb\_pro.js}, if applicable)
-into this folder. Close \app{Acrobat}, the next time \app{Acrobat}
-is started, it will read in the \SC{JS} files.
-
-\paragraph*{{\Stepii}For $\boldmath\text{\meta{ver}}$, $\boldmath10.1.1 \le
-\text{\meta{ver}} < 12$.} For these versions of \app{Acrobat} security has
-have tightened up even more; the \texttt{JavaScripts} folder is now a
-subfolder of a special \texttt{Privileged} folder. Execute
-\texttt{app.getPath("user")} in the console window, as in
-display~\eqref{display:getPath}. The method brings back a string similar to
-the one in display~\eqref{display:path}. The correct path is obtained by
-simply inserting \texttt{Privileged} into the path in
-display~\eqref{display:path}, between \texttt{Acrobat} and \meta{ver}, as
-displayed below.
-\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent,fontsize=\small,commandchars=!()]
-/C/Users/!meta(username)/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/
- Acrobat/!textbf(Privileged)/!meta(ver)/JavaScripts
-\end{Verbatim}
-But this is a mere description of the correct location, the path must
-exist! The path must be created, if it does not already exist.
-
-Navigate to the folder, one folder above the path shown in
-display~\eqref{display:path}, that is, navigate to,
-\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent,fontsize=\small,commandchars=!()]
-/C/Users/!meta(username)/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Acrobat/
-\end{Verbatim}
-If a \texttt{Privileged} folder exists, enter into it; otherwise, create
-it, then enter it.
-\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent,fontsize=\small,commandchars=!()]
-/C/Users/!meta(username)/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Acrobat/Privileged
-\end{Verbatim}
-Now create a folder named \meta{ver}, unless it already exists, and enter
-it. The version is always the major release \texttt{8.0}, \texttt{9.0},
-\texttt{10.0}, or \texttt{11.0}.
-\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent,fontsize=\small,commandchars=!()]
-/C/Users/!meta(username)/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/
- Acrobat/Privileged/!meta(ver)
-\end{Verbatim}
-Finally, create the \texttt{JavaScript} folder, unless it already exists,
-to obtain the final path to the user folder JavaScripts:
-\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent,fontsize=\small,commandchars=!()]
-/C/Users/!meta(username)/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/
- Acrobat/Privileged/!meta(ver)/JavaScripts
-\end{Verbatim}
-Copy \texttt{aeb.js} (and \texttt{aeb\_pro.js}, if applicable) into this
-folder. Close \textsf{Acrobat}, the next time \textsf{Acrobat} is started,
-it will read in the \SC{JS} files.
-
-\paragraph*{{\Stepiii}For $\boldmath\text{\meta{ver}}$, $\boldmath
-\text{\meta{ver}} > 12 $.} Beginning with the next major version following
-version~11, Adobe changed its versioning scheme. There are now two tracks,
-\emph{subscription} and \emph{classic} (also called \emph{perpetual}). For
-subscription, the version, as I understand it, will always be \texttt{DC}
-(Document Cloud), and for the classic, for which you've purchased a
-\emph{perpetual license}, the \meta{ver} is a calendar year. The first
-classic version is \texttt{2015}, the next one is most likely \texttt{2017},
-since major releases occur about every two years.
-
-Execute the code of display~\eqref{display:getPath} by pressing the button
-provided to obtain a path of the form,
-\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent,fontsize=\small,commandchars=!()]
-/C/Users/!meta(username)/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Acrobat/DC
-\end{Verbatim}
-for the subscription license or,
-\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent,fontsize=\small,commandchars=!()]
-/C/Users/!meta(username)/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Acrobat/2015
-\end{Verbatim}
-for the classic (or perpetual) license. Of course, this last path is for
-the first classic version.
-
-Now, to obtain the path to the \texttt{JavaScripts} folder, follow the
-instructions for numbered paragraph \ding{183}, but with \meta{ver} equal
-to either \texttt{DC} or \texttt{2015} (a calendar year).
-
-%/C/Users/D. P. Story/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Acrobat/Privileged/11.0/JavaScripts
-
-\subsection{For users of \app{Mac OS}}
-
-\app{Mac OS} does not have the security restrictions that \app{Windows OS}
-does, as described in paragraphs \ding{183} and \ding{184}.
-
-Follow the instructions of paragraph \ding{182}, by first pressing the button
-provided in display~\eqref{display:getPath}, then, in the console window,
-execute this script as described in the paragraph following
-display~\eqref{display:getPath}. After working through \ding{182}, one
-obtains any of the following paths depending on the version (\meta{ver}) you
-are using:\medskip
-
-\noindent
-For $\text{\meta{ver}} = \texttt{8.0}, \texttt{9.0}, \texttt{10.0},
-\texttt{11.0}$:
-\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent,fontsize=\small,commandchars=!()]
-/Users/!meta(user)/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/
- Acrobat/!meta(ver)/JavaScripts
-\end{Verbatim}
-\medskip
-
-\noindent
-For $\text{\meta{ver}} > 12$, the path is,
-\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent,fontsize=\small,commandchars=!()]
-/Users/!meta(user)/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/
- Acrobat/DC/JavaScripts
-\end{Verbatim}
-for a subscription license, and,
-\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent,fontsize=\small,commandchars=!()]
-/Users/!meta(user)/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/
- Acrobat/2015/JavaScripts
-\end{Verbatim}
-or more generally,
-\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent,fontsize=\small,commandchars=!()]
-/Users/!meta(user)/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/
- Acrobat/!meta(year)/JavaScripts
-\end{Verbatim}
-for the perpetual license.
-
-In all cases, if the \texttt{JavaScripts} folder does not exist, it must
-be created. Copy any \SC{JS} support files into the \texttt{JavaScripts}
-folder. The script files are read the next time \app{Acrobat} is started.
-
-\section{Testing the placement of the JavaScript support files}
-
-Assuming you have successfully followed the instructions and created the
-\texttt{JavaScripts} folder, test the validity of what you have done by
-closing \app{Acrobat} then opening it again. Open the console window
-(\texttt{Ctrl+J} or \texttt{Cmd+J}, for \app{Mac OS}) and execute this
-command in the console window:
-\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent,commandchars={!~@}]
-app.getPath("user","javascript");!quad!copyGetPathJS
-\end{Verbatim}
-If you have followed the instructions, the return string should read the
-complete path to the \texttt{JavaScripts} folder.
