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.

I just have started a new descussion here (adobe reader forum).
If anyone could help me, feel free to do so!
my configuration:
windows xp pro
adobe reader x
adobe livecycle designer 9 ( therefore it is not an version 8 issue )
admin rights on the pc ; )
I might add that you are not alone!
I am having the same problem (LSD ES2 (version 9.0.0....) and Adobe Reader X and Acrobat Professional 8)
Whenever I save a form as PDF and open it with Reader or Acrobat I get to see the console.
But never when I view the form in Designer preview!
That used to work until I installed Reader X.
Same as you I checked all configurations in Reader and Acrobat: all perfect.
I really do hope that someone finds a solution for this.
PS. This problem should be discussed in THIS forum. It is clearly a Designer problem!

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

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

Enabling javascript console?

I read the instructions here:
http://blog.deconcept.com/2005/07/28/safaris-hidden-debug-menu/
and I opened the Terminal (Macintosh HD>Applications>Utilities>Terminal). The Terminal window displayed:
Last login: Tue Feb 6 13:54:51 on ttyp1
Welcome to Darwin!
<user info here>$
I then pasted in the command:
<user info here>$ defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
and hit return. The Terminal window displayed:
<user info here>$ defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
<user info here>$
The instructions say:
Now the next time you start Safari, you’ll have an extra menu up top called “Debug” and inside are all kinds of goodies.
I then closed down Safari and relaunched it, but I can't find a Debug menu item. I'm using Safari 2.0.4, and there is nothing in the Safari Help when I search for "javascript console" or "debug menu".
17" intelimac 2ghz 2gb 250gb Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I then closed down Safari and relaunched it, but I can't find a Debug menu item.
I discovered that I didn't actually close down Safari. I thought closing all the browser windows shut down Safari. However, that is not the case. If you look at the dock and there is a black arrow pointing at the application's icon, then the application is still running. To quit Safari, I right clicked on its icon in the dock and selected Quit from the popup context menu (you can also click on Safari>Quit Safari). Then I relaunched Safari, and voila! the Debug menu item appeared in the menu.
If you want to get rid of the Debug menu item, reopen the terminal and after the $ sign enter the command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 0

You will still need your SN. As long as you registered, you can just add a tab in your browser and go to Adobe.com. In the upper right corner there should be a welcome with your name. Move to the small down arrow and select My Products and Services. That should give you your SN of the products that have been registered. Please make a backup of your download and SN for the future. If you had an upgrade version, you will also need the SN of the qualifying product.

JavaScript actions in Acrobat Reader

Hi,
Is it possible to create a bookmark with a form button and a javascript action in Acrobat Reader?
Is it possible to create a report with a form button and a javascript action in Acrobat Reader?
These actions are possible in Acrobat but in Acrobat Reader, I don't know.

The JavaScript documentation tells you this information for each
method. Does the documentation seem to be wrong? (See the "quick bar")

Recursive setTimeout becomes inactive through JavaScript console

Hi,
I'm using setTimeout() recursively in functions which stops working completely as soon as I trigger an alert-box (alert()) from the JavaScript console. Calling alert() from the document's code itself does not have this effect. Refreshing the site F5 or hard refresh Ctrl+F5 reloads the page but doesn't start the timers. The only way to restore the site completely and get setTimeout() to work again is to close and open the tab or browser again. This seems to be a bug, I think. I'm using Firefox 15.0.1 on Win 7 64-bit.
See example below. The code below keeps displaying the time in the window's title after clicking the button. If you execute "alert('');" from the JavaScript console instead, it stops all setTimeout() functions and does not reactivate them even if you reload the page.
Edit: Sorry, heres the code:
<html>
<head>
<script>
function init()
callself();
function callself()
var now = new Date();
document.title = now.toLocaleString();
setTimeout("callself()", 100);
</script>
</head>
<body onload="javascript:init();">
<button onclick="javascript: alert('');">click me</button>
</body>
</html>

Thanks for the info! Very useful to not become crazy while debugging it
