Folder-level scripts normally can be viewed and debugged but not edited in Acrobat.
Console and batch processing scripts are not visible to the debugger until they are
executed. For this reason, you cannot set breakpoints prior to executing these scripts. You
can access the scripts either using the
Debug From Start
option or by using the
debugger
keyword. See
