Acrobat's Javascript console is not working -
moving indesign acrobat now, need automate simple task. i'll use bridgetalk have indesign script call acrobat x , have couple of simple things. end i've been reading on how script acrobat. unfortunately, not seem anywhere simple scripting indesign or illustrator.
for 1 thing, extendscript toolkit useless since acrobat has built-in "javascript console". fine, except console seems broken. once launched (and hellacious trying figure that out), type in simple 3 + 4
in console , press command+enter
, noted in thom parker's guide on acrobatusers. (i don't have fancy mac extended keyboard numeric keypad, have use command+enter
.)
nothing happens.
i've tried other things, such selecting code first, pressing control+enter
instead, using different line of code such console.println("hello.");
, etc. nothing seems work. doing wrong?
finally got question answered on over adobe's forums. thought had tried everything, turns out had not tried simple shift + enter
. hard believe, since thought i'd tried every possible key combination already, cannot deny facts. since had small apple keyboard without numeric keypad, suppose way enter
instead of return
key. @ rate, answer known!
