Instructions for Installing Acrobat Automation Tools
All automation scripts built with JavaScript will only work when placed in one of the Acrobat JavaScript Folders. Execute each line of the following code in the Acrobat JavaScript Console (Ctrl+J on Windows, Command+J on Mac) to find the location of the JavaScript folders on your system:app.getPath("user","javascript");
app.getPath("app","javascript");
On Windows, the application JavaScript folder is usually located at:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\JavaScripts
On Mac, the application JavaScript folder is in the configuration file inside the Acrobat Application Package. The script file can be placed in either the "User" or "App" JavaScript folder. The scripts will place a toolbar button on the "Add-Ons" toolbar in Acrobat or Adobe Reader. If this toolbar is not visible then Right Click on an empty part of the Acrobat toolbar area and select "Add-Ons." JavaScript toolbar buttons were added to Acrobat in version 6. However, most of the automation scripts here are intended to be used with Acrobat 7 or later. Some scripts may contain functionality that prevents it from being used in Adobe Reader. See comments in the specific JavaScript file for details.
