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}. + +%/C/Users/D.

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 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.
