Bug/Javascript editor
critical bug - running Acrobat Pro - Enterprise (Continuous Release) Version 2025.001.20756 on Windows 11
When in Prepare a Form, I am unable to edit the calculated script. I went to preferences and ensured Acrobat JavaScript is enabled, along with menu items, global security policy, debugger and interactive console. Use Acrobat JavaScript Editor is selected.
I am unable to edit existing calculated script from the Properties dialog, and I am unable to make changes in the console.
This has been happening since last week. I was able to close and restart yesterday and get it to work sometimes, but it is not working at all today.
This is critical. Please help.

It sounds like the issue may be related to a recent Acrobat update or a corrupted preference/cache file. Try resetting Acrobat preferences, repairing the installation from Help > Repair Installation, and temporarily disabling Protected Mode under Security (Enhanced). Also, check if the problem occurs in a new blank PDF form. If it started after the latest update, rolling back to the previous Acrobat version may also help until Adobe releases a fix.
