app level vs. user level scripts error

[01371406]

I am working on a trusted function to save a LiveCycle (pdf) file based on a field name. Upon research I have read that I am supposed to find the “app” and “user” folder level scripts. To find these scripts I should run the following script in the Acrobat Javascript debugger.

app.getPath("app", "javascript");

/C/Program Files/Adobe/Acrobat 10.0/Acrobat/JavaScripts

app.getPath("user", "javascript");

GeneralError: Operation failed.

App.getPath:1:Console undefined:Exec

2

This was easy to do, however I received an error on the second script (“user”), and I am not sure if this effects placement of my trusted function. Does this error change where I place my trusted function? I am under the beleif the trusted function goes in the "app" folder lever.

I have Acrobat X Pro and LiveCycle Designer ES2.

In other words, you may have to first create the folder manually. The script will work whether you place is in the app folder or the user folder. The difference is code placed in the app folder will be available to all users, while code placed in the user folder will just be available to that user.
