To start using the tool

This is just a handy little tool that I am giving away for free.
It can be used to display the different types of internal folders Acrobat uses for things such as javascripts, batch sequences, stamps, temporary files, etc.

You can download the code from here: FREE DOWNLOAD

How to use this script:
-Open the file.
-Select All. Copy.
-Open Acrobat. Open a PDF file (this is necessary due to a bug in Acrobat/Reader).
-Open the JavaScript Console (Ctrl+J or Cmd+J).
-Select all the text in the window and paste the contents from the file over it.
-Select all the text you just pasted and press Ctrl+Enter (or Cmd+Enter).
You will see this menu:

-Select the folder you wish to find.
You will see this dialog:

You can now copy the path from the dialog to an explorer window (or through the Run... command) to open it directly.

This tool can even be used from Reader, if you enabled the interactive console, or if you have my "Run JavaScript Code from within Reader" tool.

Enjoy this freebie, and if you find this tool useful and would like to donate, it's always appreciated!

I've been working with Gilad for almost 7 years on an evolving project that relies on lengthy complicated scripts. The turnaround times, pricing and accuracy are excellent. His depth of knowledge has been extremely helpful in helping define issues and offering options to accomplish the tasks. The add on scripts have been essential to maintaining and updating our existing documents as well. I highly recommend his services and products.

We first started working with Gilad back in 2015. I found him online in looking through different forum sites and realized he is an expert in Adobe and creating java scripts. I started with a small project and quickly realized he was an asset to have as a resource! Gilad has completed over 50 different projects for me. Each project has been completed on-time and he has been extremely easy to communicate with and his coding has always been accurate! I highly recommend Gilad and his team!

Gilad exceeded my expectations with nine different projects in which I sought his developer expertise. He looks at your concept and suggests ways to make it more efficient. Gilad sees additions or modifications you never considered and which ultimately prove invaluable. If your concept has shortcomings, Gilad takes the time to explain them and then work with you to correct or replace them. I wholeheartedly and unequivocally endorse Gilad as an expert developer.
