How to Convert Adobe Acrobat JavaScript Files to Executables with Adjwiz2exe

If you have ever created a PDF document with interactive features using Adobe Acrobat, you may have used JavaScript to add functionality and interactivity to your PDF. However, if you want to distribute your PDF as a standalone application that can run on any computer without Adobe Acrobat installed, you may need to convert your JavaScript files to executable files.

One tool that can help you do this is Adjwiz2exe, a free and open source command-line utility that can convert Adobe Acrobat JavaScript files (.adj) to executable files (.exe) for Windows. In this article, we will show you how to use Adjwiz2exe to create executable files from your PDF JavaScript files.

What is Adjwiz2exe

Adjwiz2exe is a tool that can convert Adobe Acrobat JavaScript files (.adj) to executable files (.exe) for Windows. It was created by SumatraPDF, an open source PDF reader for Windows. Adjwiz2exe is based on JsCore, a JavaScript engine that can run Adobe Acrobat JavaScript code.

Adjwiz2exe can be useful for creating standalone applications from your PDF documents that have interactive features such as forms, buttons, calculations, validations, etc. You can also use it to create custom installers or launchers for your PDF documents.

How to Use Adjwiz2exe

To use Adjwiz2exe, you need to have the following:

A PDF document with JavaScript code that you want to convert to an executable file.

The Adjwiz2exe utility, which you can download from here.

A Windows computer where you want to run the executable file.

Once you have these, follow these steps:

Extract the Adjwiz2exe utility from the downloaded zip file and place it in a folder of your choice.

Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder where you placed the Adjwiz2exe utility.

Type the following command: adjwiz2exe.exe input.adj output.exe, where input.adj is the name of your Adobe Acrobat JavaScript file and output.exe is the name of the executable file you want to create.

Press Enter and wait for the conversion process to finish. You should see a message saying \"Done\" when it is done.

You can now run the output.exe file on any Windows computer without Adobe Acrobat installed. It should behave the same way as your original PDF document with JavaScript code.
