Access Javascript console in Acrobat X STANDARD

I'm using Acrobat X Standard, not Pro. The Ctrl-J shortcut does not bring up the JS console. The only way I know of is to force an error in a script, which is a real pain. I've also tried putting a startup script in the APP folder to have the console open when Acrobat starts. But that is annoying, too, because it take up screen space and if you close it, you can't get it back.

Is there an add-on, a way to create a tool, etc. to open/close the JS console in the Standard version?

Thanks.

Hi Mitch,

You are correct that Ctrl-J doesn't work in Standard. The correct way to do this to create a toolbutton that executes the script console.show() You can also put this code into a button on a PDF. Or you can download a free script for doing this at www.pdfscripting.com called "Reader JavaScript Console Window", but it also works in Standard.

scroll down the page for that tool.

Hope this helps,
