v8 - Execute Menu Item in a form field action does not show all menu items (save as FDF). In Pro v7 the action options for menu items was a more complete list. What happened in the upgrade? What are the work arounds?

Hi greenmj,

Some Execute Menu Items were removed by Adobe because they were deemed security risks. The choices you see in the action list are those that are deemed safe. Here is a link to a Blog entry here at AUC that goes into more details on this-

The new JS reference for Acrobat 8 can be found at-

See page 32 "Privileged Vs Non-Privileged Context" for Adobe's recommendations on working with these new restrictions.

Hope that helps,
