Testing Whether Your Editor Will Open at Syntax Error Locations
To determine whether Acrobat can open your editor on a line number, do the following:
1.
Open a script in your editor.
2.
Add a syntax error.
3.
Move the cursor to a line other than the one containing the syntax error.
4.
Close and save the file.
If a dialog automatically appears prompting you to fix the syntax error, check whether it
correctly specifies the line containing the error.
Saving and Closing a File with a Syntax Error
If you save and close a file containing a syntax error, Acrobat displays a dialog with a
message asking if you would like to fix the error. For example, if there is an error on line 123,
the following message appears:
There is a JavaScript error at line 123.
Do you want to fix the error?

If you click
No,
Acrobat discards your file.
Always click
Yes.
Acrobat expands the path to the editor to include the line number in the
specified syntax. The editor opens and the cursor is placed on line 123.
