Acrobat 9 on Mac: Cannot enable javascript debugger

I've tried setting Javascript preferences as follows:
Enable Acrobat Javascript
Enable menu items JavaScript execution privileges
Enable global object security policy
Enable Javascript debugger after Acrobat is restarted
Enable interactive console
Use Acrobat Javascript Editor
I then restarted Acrobat, and invoked the JavaScript debugger, which starts up with a notice at the bottom: "The JavaScript Debugger is not enabled. You can enable it in the JavaScript preferences."
I get this same result in MacOS 10.5.8/Acrobat 9.5.4, and MacOS 10.7.5/Acrobat 9.0.0
What do I have to do to enable the JS debugger?

I tried this method (both) but nothing work. My last retry comes with a failure message:
And here is the error summary:
Exit Code: 7
Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting. For example, ERROR: DW013 ...
-------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------
- 0 fatal error(s), 6 error(s)
ERROR: -------------------- BEGIN - Initialization Failures - BEGIN --------------------
ERROR: Fatal error initializing from proxy files.

ERROR: -------------------- END - Initialization Failures - END --------------------
ERROR: DW013: Cannot initialize payload session
It seems like the problem of my OS X (I know my system is buggy all the way). Looking for method to fix it.

  • Acrobat 9.0 Javascript Debugger

    I'm trying to learn some stuff about writing javascript in documents for acrobat.  All of the documentation that i've looked at tells me that i have to go into Edit Preferences ---> JavaScript and hit the Enable Javascript Editor Checkbox.  At this point, I should be able to bring up the editor with CNTRL+j.  But that doesn't do anything for me.  The only way for me to see the editor is to go to Advanced ---> Document Processing ----> Set document actions.  It is very difficult with so little information to even know where to start. So should the editor be popping up now when i hit CNTRL + j????  There is very little information readily available in the editor to let me know what's going on, and almost all of the information i find on line is for earlier versions of acrobat.

    If you are using Acrobat Pro or Pro Extended then yes, the debugger should come up when you hit CTRL+J.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9.405 crashes whenever I use javascript debugger.

    I can open the console, and I can write javascript and i can run it.  I can't set breakpoints or step through any of my script though.  I can run javascript in the console.  Anytime i try to use the debugger buttons or step through the javascript, acrobat stops working and a windows dialog box pops up indicating that "the program stopped working correctly" and that it will have to close it.  I've reinstalled Acrobat and I've updated it and installed windows updates.  I'm still getting the same issues.  Anyone seen this before?  Here's all my specs:
    Windows 7
    Acrobat JavaScript Debugger Functions Version 9.0
    Acrobat EScript Built-in Functions Version 9.0
    Acrobat Annotations / Collaboration Built-in Functions Version 9.0
    Acrobat Annotations / Collaboration Built-in Wizard Functions Version 9.0
    Acrobat SOAP 9.0
    app.viewerVersion
    9.405
    app.viewerType
    Exchange-Pro

    I love what Adobe is doing for PDF, but I have paid a grand for a program which doesn't yet fully work on my machine.  I would really like to see an explanation as to why it isn't fully compatible with my computer  I am personally advocating PDF as an integrated solve-all resource to construction-related issues, because I realize it can be.  But it isn't yet.  If I can find a solution to my console/debugger problem, then I'm convinced that design/construction entities will benefit.  That means more money for Adobe. 

  • How to enable JavaScript after downloaded ff25 running on Mac OS 10.8

    Since I updated to FF25 I can't enable JavaScript which I need for sites I use.
    I have the latest Java 7 version 45 but there is no plug-in appearing for Java.
    I added Quickjava 2.0.2 I think this is the version, and clicked to enable java.
    But when I visit the sites that require JavaScript I get an error message saying JavaScript not enabled.
    When I test the java 'latest version' test from Java's web site using FF java cannot be detected, but it can when I do the same test using Safari.
    How do I fix this?

    Type '''about:config''' in URL and enter

  • Cannot enable acrobat 8.1.3 addin in Word 2007

    Hi,
    I cannot enable acrobat 8.1.3 addin in Word 2007.  In Word 2007 I go to the top left circle, word options, Add-Ins, Disabled Application Add-ins,  Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin, and then "Go".
    I then see Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin is unchecked.  When I check it, it notes that "This add-in is installed for all users on this computer, and can only be connected or disconnected by an administrator".  See attached jpg for details.  Please advise.
    Thanks,
    Joe

    As the instructions indicate, log in as the administrator and activate the option. If you do not have access to the administrator account, then ask your IT folks to do it for you.

  • I cannot enable find my mac

    As the title says, I cannot enable find my mac, i am running 10.8.2, and cant see any updates in the app store,
    I've looked up some things and I think that my recovery hd isn't up to date, there is a patch for updating you recovery hd, but only for 10.7,
    Any ideas on fixing this? I read that rerunning the mountain lion install would recreate the recovery hd (question: would i lose my data?), but when i try to run it it says:
    this disk isn't using guid partitionlabeling, change it with diskutility, but in diskutility i cant find a way to change this..
    thanks for the help

    You have a very strange partition table because of three reasons:
    It's MBR, and you need a GUID partition table.
    You have the Boot Camp volume above your OS X volume.
    You have three partitions on your hard disk, and Boot Camp only allows two partitions on the hard disk.
    You need to erase the whole hard disk, so you have to make backups. For OS X, you can use Time Machine to back up your hard disk or you can use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a clone on an external disk. For Windows, use WinClone. You will need an external disk, so if you haven't got one, you should buy it.
    Then, to install Mountain Lion, as you haven't got the Recovery HD for Mountain Lion, you can use Lion Diskmaker to copy the Mountain Lion installer onto a DVD or USB drive.
    After doing all those steps, follow these ones to install Mountain Lion again on a GUID partition table.
    Open Boot Camp Assistant and delete the Boot Camp partition. If it doesn't allow you, skip this step.
    Insert the USB drive or DVD with Mountain Lion, press Option key while your Mac is starting and choose the DVD or USB drive with Mountain Lion.
    OS X Utilities window will appear, so open Disk Utility. Here's when the fun starts.
    Select your hard disk at the top of the sidebar and go to Partition tab.
    On the window, choose "Options" and select GUID Partition Table. Then, press OK.
    You will return to the Partition. Select each partition one by one on the bar and press - button until all disappear.
    Then, press + button, choose "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" in Format and press Apply.
    When it has finished, close Disk Utility and install OS X. It can take from 15 minutes to 30, depending of the disk you are using to install Mountain Lion and if you are installing it onto a HDD or SSD.
    When the installation finishes, restore the backups so you will leave your Mac as it was before erasing the disk

  • Acrobat Web Capture cannot convert javascript links...?

    In Matrix (Multiple Listing Service) Acrobat Adobe 10 Standard won't convert javascript links in newly created PDFs Documents from Matrix.   The Error message is : Acrobat Web Capture cannot convert javascript links and the link often does not work correctly when opened in the web browser...  
    Is there any javascript download or work around program that can fix this problem?
    Thanks

    Probably not. Pretty hard for Acrobat to handle all of the web JavaScript and possible function calls that could appear on a web page and be located in another directory.
    If this is important to you, you can use the bug report/feature request page at adobe.com..

  • How can I change preferences to enable javascript on mac (nothing happens when I click on preferences)?

    I am using Firefox 3.6.13 for Mac. I disabled Javascript (in Preferences) to see if it would affect problems with browsing speed. I then discovered I need Javascript for my email, so I went back to Preferences to enable Javascript, but when I click on Preferences now, nothing happens.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Firefox 27.0.1 on a Mac OS 10.9.2 the button to enable javascript is missing

    I am having a problem with the BBC iPlayer playing in a separate pop-out player. Their support people have asked me to check that javascript running is enabled.
    In the Preferences content tab there is no button to enable Javascript, in fact the Preference screen looks nothing like the picture on the support sites.
    I have found that other preference items have moved in Mavericks after I upgraded and I would be pleased if you could tell me how to get Firefox working properly again. FYI I have no problem with the pop-out issue with Chrome or Safari

  • How to get a pdf form to work without enabling JavaScript

    I have two users at my job that need to user a form to validate charters, the form has a text field where the user enters the charter number and it pre-propulates the form with the institutions name, address, number, etc. We are in a locked down Windows 7 enviroment controlled by Group Policy. Our security policy does not allow enabling JavaScript in our enviroment so that breaks the form. I was able to get the form to work by first enabling Javascript, then by adding the document to the trusted locations list in the enhanced security tab. But since JS is not allowed to be enabled is there another workaround for me to get these few users up and running? The fix would have to be applied via Group Policy. We are using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.

    You would have to use either FileMaker to create such forms and use two related databses (relational Database) Of use a Form Created in Word using a Look up list.
    Tele your company ite better to use Javascapit than the alternative of Active-X  in a Word Form or if using  a Mac Using AppleScript. of the three  AppleScript first, Then Javascript, The avoid Active-X at all cost.

  • JavaScript is required. Enable JavaScript to use OAM Server.

    I want to open an Excel spread sheet stored in a Webdav server using OAM (Oracle Authentication).
    It works fine on every PC or Mac having Excel 2010, 2013, but it doesn't work in Excel 2007.
    In Excel 2007 always gives the error "JavaScript is required. Enable JavaScript to use OAM Server.", so I cannot distribute the file.
    The system with Excel 2007 has the Activex scripting enabled but I cannot discover how to open the file without the error.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hi,
    We had a customer that ran into the same exact issue and symptoms described in this thread. The issues occurred after some upgrades were made to their browsers. Our customer was using Forms/Reports 11.1.2.1 (11gR2), and OAM (11.1.1.5). I'm not sure what version of OAM you are currently using?
    The issue was caused by a bug in OAM 11.1.1.5. The problem is exactly as pbell was explaining. By looking at the failed HTML/Javascript code generated by OAM - it was just poorly generated code by OAM. However, Install Bundle Patch 2 (BP02) onto OAM and you'll be fine! This updates your OAM to version 11.1.1.5.2.
    Oracle Support documents on the issue and bug:
    - There is a Oracle Support article describing the issue: 1447194.1
    - Oracle Support Bug Number: 13254371
    To fix the issue:
    - Apply OAM Patch: 13115859. Its a generic patch that will work on any environment type.
    - If you use WebGates for your deployment, look into install patch 13453929 as well
    I wrote an article on how to install the patch: http://pitss.com/us/2013/04/04/oam-error-enable-javascript-to-use-oam-server/
    I hope this helps!
    Thank you,

  • AJAX - javascript debugger

    So I'm working on building numerous AJAX applications for
    various clients when I remember the javascript debugger in
    dreamweaver. But oops it's not there..... so back to MX 2004 not
    there either.... so back to MX cannot find it. So into the archive
    and I install 4 and there it is. Can we have it back please!
    peter
    p.s. stressed with using the venkman debugger ( the last time
    I used one so complex was when I was using ICE on hardware)

    Yea that happens to me sometimes also... the only way around I can suggest you is open the form on adobe acrobat pro, there the debugger should show up...
    or you can use the try catch statement

  • How to enable script debugger in adobe LC designer

    Hi,
    Can anybody tell me how to enable script debugger in adobe livecycle designer. Can we debug the java scripts in adobe desiger..if yes, then please let me know how do i do it.
    I want to  debug the code line by line.
    Regards
    Sunil

    Designer doesn't have a debugger like Acrobat.
    The script editor can check only if the syntax is correct.
    You generally can use the PDF-Preview to debug JavaScripts when  Acrobat is your current PDF-Viewer.
    Add this code in you script where you want to start debugging. It will call Acrobat's JS Console
    debugger;
    console.show();
