Accessing Javascript console in Acrobat X Std

Good evening,
for some reason the "Ctrl + J" shortcut does not work on my Acrobat X Std. The shortcut does show up in the helpfile so I assume there is something wrong. Does anybody else have the same issue?
Thanks

OK, I get it. Try the following:
Create a plain text file with the following code "console.show()", you can call it something like "open console.js".
If you are on a Mac:
Open up your Acrobat app by right clicking and picking "Show Package Contents", navigate to Contents/Resources/JavaScripts and put the script there.
If you are on a PC:
Place the above script in /Program Files/Adobe/Acrobat ?/Acrobat/JavaScripts
Then restart your Acrobat and hopefully after start-up your console will pop open.

  • Acrobat Reader X / 10 - javascript console problem / crash

    Hi,
    I develop adobe interactive forms and need javascript console badly!
    My system:
    Windows XP Prof.
    Acrobat Reader 10 (free)
    Internet Explorer 8
    Adobe Livecycle Designer ES 9 (latest version)
    The javascript console works just fine if I start an adobe form "native" = with Acrobat Reader X directly.
    But if I use Adobe Livecycle Designer (latest version) [the issue also described here], the console just crashes / disappears right after it started.
    The same happens if I open the pdf-file (adobe interactive form) with Internet Explorer.
    E.G:
    - When using Acrobat Reader "native":
                 console will open up on javascript syntax errors or by klicking a button (   javascript = console.show();    )
    -  When using Internet Explorer or Adobe Livecycle Designer:
                  the same pdf file cannot view the javascript console. it just "disappears immideatly" / crashes
    There is any technical support for Acrobat Reader expect this forum - so I was told when I called adobe hotline.
    I hope anyone could actually help me here.

    Hi,
    Don't open the console just the reader application. and then open the console from your script as you do.
    I have noticed in the past that sometimes the console appears for a very short period of time and then vanishes and this appears to be caused by the console window being associated with the open Adobe Reader application ( when it has no documents open) rather than the open PDF file in the preview or browser.
    Just a thought

  • JavaScript Console Problem (only in LS preview mode)

    Hello,
    my JavaScript console "crashes" in preview-mode in lifecycle designer. It just appears for a "millisecond"´, well I see it flicker at last.
    It doesn't matter if there is a syntax error or if I try to start the console by clicking a button ( Event click => console.show(); )
    The console just flickers.
    If I save the pdf file everything works fine. Console shows up on errors or if it told to do so (e.g. my button is clicked).
    I cannot afford to save the pdf-file every time for some reasons (livecycle designer is used in sap gui, I have to run the whole process to get the PDF ...)
    By the way, the same problem is present in Livecycle Designer if I use it "native", not called from within the sap.
    I have already tried to close the acrobat reader tasks. There are two of them, when adobe reader 10 starts (native or in livecycle-preview).
    But by closing one of the tasks, the second one closes, too. Therefore there is no help this way.
    I use Adobe Lifecycle Designer ES 8.0 (8.01.2008.1.380548) and Acrobat Reader X (10.0.1)
    The PDFs output in LS is set to Acrobat 8 (dynamic)
    In Acrobat Reader javascript console/debugger is set as active, as well as to show errors etc.
    It might be a problem realted to sap gui.
    I just ran the pdf-preview in sap gui. And Console didn't show up again.
    I have saved the same document from the sap print-preview on my local hd drive. Then started it with adobe reader and everything worked just fine.
    Please do not blame sap only. As I have told before: the same problem occurs if I use livecycle designer "native", not within sap gui

  • Remote Access Management Console - configuration issue with Network Location Server

    2012 Std R2
    The remote Access management console operation status shows  all green except for network location server .
    Error: There is no response from the network location server URL. DirectAccess connectivity might not work as expected, and DirectAccess clients located inside the corporate network might not be able to reach internal resources.
    Resolution listed as:
    1. Configure the network location server on a server that is highly available to clients on the internal network.
    2. If the network location server is running on the Remote Access server, ensure that IIS is running, and that the URL is available.
    The remote access server is located on this server. IIS is running. What URL: show I be looking at?
    Any other thoughts so I can get remote access working.
    l also am getting a remote access error for IPV6, could this be a cause:
    RoutingDomainID- {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}: Unable to add the interface {D37062B2-A3E0-4496-A459-9E0BBCE5423C} with the Router Manager for the IPV6 protocol. The following error occurred: Cannot complete this function.

    Hi John,
    please follow the steps to reinstall TCP/IP stack.
    1.Restart your PC into Safe Mode with Networking.
    2.
    Edit your registry. Delete the following keys:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/Winsock
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/Winsock2
    3.
    Open the nettcpip.inf file in your %winroot%/inf folder
    (%winroot% is usually c:/windows).
    Find the [MS_TCPIP.PrimaryInstall] section. Change the Characteristics value from 0xA0 to 0x80.
    Open the properties of the network connection you want to fix. In the General tab, click on the Install button. Click on the Have Disk button, and point the location to %winroot%/inf. After that select TCP/IP (not version 6).
    4.
    Now you would notice that you can uninstall TCP/IP!
    Do that, then restart the PC.
    Go back to your network connection, and install TCP/IP again as per the above. After another reboot, you should be up and running.
    I also noted that the XP network repair tool may yank out the ISA 2004 firewall client stuff. Just run the firewall clinet repair or install it again to fix that problem after you did your reboot. Before you do this kind of crazy stuff.
    5.
    This along with a TCP/IP reset using the netsh command:
    netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
    wish you have a nice thanksgiving too

    Mike

  • Javascripts folder for Acrobat X on MAC

    there is a Javascripts folder for Acrobat 9 under the install location, but I do not see that for the acrobat x installation on MAC.
    any ideas?
    thanks!

    Run this code in the interactove JavaScript console:
    app.getPath("app", "javascript");
    But since that can be difficult to do with certain mac keyboards, here is what it give me for my system with Acrobat 9:
    /Macintosh HD/Applications/Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro/Adobe Acrobat Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaScripts/
    It should be similar for Acrobat 10.
    For Reader 10, I have: /Macintosh HD/Applications/Adobe Reader.app/Contents/Resources/JavaScripts/
    If you're looking for the user JavaScript folder, try this:
    app.getPath("user", "javascript");

  • Javascript console not coming up

    I'm designing a form in LiveCycle, writing some code. In the past, when I made a code err the JS console poped into view with err messages but it no longer does so.
    I have rechecked that the console in enabled in Acrobat (9). Applied all updates. Tried ctl-j to bring it up with no success.
    Now must fix code problems using trial and err. Am self-taught JS coder so this slows me down a bunch.
    Any ideas? Thanks! (Also posted to Acrobat forum but no help as yet)

    Hi,
    Are you opening the form in Acrobat OR are you Previewing it in LC Designer?
    If it is the latter, then when LC Designer is opening Preview, it may be using the free Adobe Reader, which does not have the JavaScript Console.
    Other than that you seemed to have done the right thing by setting preferences in Acrobat.
    Good luck,
    Niall

  • Getting error while opening Sun access manager console

    We are facing problem while accessing console of Sun Access Manager. We got No Page Found error whenever we try to access the Sun Access Manager console. We have tried restarting the directory server and web server but even that doesn�t help us. Following are the error that gets recorded in log files:-
    ERROR: AuthD init() com.iplanet.dpro.session.SessionException: AuthD failed to get auth session
    ERROR: Error creating service session java.lang.NullPointerException

    The ns-slapd.exe process belongs to the Directory Server. You should therefore check if your DS instance is set up properly.

  • Error 404 while trying to access eas console

    We are getting error 404 all of a sudden when trying to access eas console. We have checked to make sure that all the services are up and running, and the port(10080) is up and running.
    We had a similar error with workspace a while back, and we had to modify port numbers on the mod_wl_ohs.conf file.
    But we find that the port numbers are unchanged this time in the conf file.
    Is there any other port we can use for eas console? http://<servername>:10080/easconsole/console.html
    All other services that sit on the same server work fine.(workspace, APS etc)
    Has anybody seen this kind of problem before?
    Thanks.

    If you are using 11.1.2 search for 404 in the EPM readme at: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_1112000_readme.pdf
    What happens if if the install user logs into the machine and then out temp files in use by the application are removed; out of the box the user temp variables are used during deployment; there is a work-around to turn off terminal service feature to delete files on exist.
    In addition to confirming the service is up and running and the port answers you should review the syserror and sysout files which for 11.1.1.X are located in <HYPERION_INSTALL_DRIVE>\Hyperion\logs\services and in 11.1.2.X are located in <ORACLE_INSTALL_DRIVE>\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\diagnostics\logs\services

  • Can't find download for Acrobat 9 STD--the Acrobat 9 download is for PRO, and my serial number not valid for PRO.

    I'm switching to a new laptop, and I want to bring my Acrobat 9 STD with me. Deactivated it on the old laptop, went to the download page for Acrobat 9 and downloaded it, got to the part in the installation where I entered my serial number, and the installation wizard said it was invalid. That's when I noticed the download was for Acrobat 9 PRO, not STD. I used the support chat and explained it to the support person, and he gave me a link for the 9 STD download. Unfortunately, it was the same page. I downloaded it again. Still 9 PRO. Anyone else have any ideas where they're hiding the Acrobat 9 STD download?

    Finding the file all depends on how you did the install and if you downloaded the install file. If the install file was downloaded to the TEMP folder, there is a slight chance it may still be there (should be in Windows>TEMP, not sure on MAC). It may have a name similar to the Pro download of AcroPro90_efg.exe. The Pro would be change to Std and I am not sure what the efg stands for. I would search for AcroStd9*.exe. There seems to be a download for AA 9 std available at http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-acrobat-x-10-pro-reader-suite-direct-download-links-ddl.ht ml. I have no idea if that works. I had found one place where a staff member said he is working on getting links up for all the older versions, not just the trials (that are Pro). I simply searched on Google for Acrobat 9 Standard files. I can't find the message by the staff, but there is one in the last week or two as I recall where a staff member was providing links for folks on an individual basis.

    Hi Rob,
    From the screen shots it looks like your script is not formatted properly (you may refer to 'Paladin Script' in 'Sample Project' to get an idea of how the script should be formatted.).
    Further please follow the steps mentioned below to use Story to PP workflow.
    Create a new Film script in Adobe Story
    Create  scene heading – INT. LOCATION – Day (these will show up in the outline view panel on left hand side)
    Hit enter, hit TAB
    Enter the name of the speaker, hit TAB or ENTER
    Copy over the transcribed text
    Build your script this way
    Number scenes from the production menu
    Export ASTX file for your script : File->Export->.astx
    Open Premiere Pro
    Create a new project, bring in media
    In the project pane, find the "Scene" column
    For the clip that contains the spoken text, assign the same scene number to the clip as you have in the story script (lets say both are scene 1)
    Click out of the scene box in the project panel in Ppro
    Right click on the scene that you just assigned a scene number to and select – attach Story script
    Select the .astx fle you exported in step 8
    Click ok
    You should now see the script data in the metadata panel for the clip in the metadata panel.
    You can now run speech to text based on "Embedded Script metadata" to time align spoken word to the script.
    Let us know if this is helpful.
    Thanks

  • Multiple shortcut toolbars in Adobe Acrobat x std

    I'm looking for a way to have multiple shortcut toolbar lines in Adobe Acrobat X std.  I don't like the drop down tool bar that is present.  I use multiple addins in my toolbar and I want to see them all up in the toolbar for easy use.  Is there a way to add multiple lines of toolbars instead of having the drop down overflow box?

    You'll want to ask in the forum for Acrobat. This one is for the free Reader which cannot do any of this.
    But to get you started, you can use Document>Extract pages to create a new file of the modified pages...

  • Have Acrobat XI Std, installation of Acrobat XI Pro fails, version incompatibility

    Running Windows 7 Pro on work Thinkpad.
    Trial version of Acrobat XI Pro as of Dec 4, 2014 is 11.0.07
    Licensed version of installed Acrobat XI Std is 11.0.09
    Installer downloads, but when the splash panel displays and I press Next, I get the message that a more functional version is available and it bails.
    Obvious why the error occurred. Makes me wonder if Pro features are hidden inside Std, the way IBM used to take the DP Manager out to lunch while the CE flipped a switch for more MIPS upgrade. ;-)
    I simply want to check out the multi-media features before committing to upgrade.
    Will try using another computer, thought you would like to know about the problem.

    Sadly you cannot run Acrobat Standard and Acrobat Pro at the same time. The message is rather the wrong way round but basically a hint in the right direction.
    You would need to uninstall Acrobat Standard. Be sure you have EVERYTHING you need to reinstall including disks and serial numbers before considering this!
