The debugtool in Acrobat keeps crashing! Does anyone else know this problem?
The debugger did't work in AcrobatPro9 and Adobe promised to fix it in AcrobatProX. But the debugger tool (when debug from start) still makes Acrobat crash. Can someone help me? Adobe will not... :-(
version is 10.1.0

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 10.0.2, Windows

Have you enabled JavaScript through "Edit => Preferences"?Have you tried to open the JavaScirpt console through the "Tools Well"?

Have you added and application level JavaScripts?

Dear George,

-Yes I enabled JavaScript through "Edit => Preferences"
-I have also tried to open the console through tools.
-I am not sure what you mean by 'Have you added and application level JavaScripts'
In my script I revere to the current document with ‘this’. It’s a simple script.. but I experience the bug with all javascripts.
In Acrobat9Pro enabling the 'debugFromStart' option results in a immediate crash of Acrobat. In AcrobatXpro it works about 5 minutes and the screen freezes...

Surely there must be more people out there who are experiencing this behaviour.. or am I doing something, horribly, wrong?
