+\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.
