where is adobe reader DC plist?
i want to deploy a plist to all users to disable this javascript.
but i can't find this item neither in Library preferences nor user library



or is there other better way to disable it?



the plist is located in ~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Reader.plist.
If you have installed a previous version of Adobe Reader, the plist will contain the settings of both versions.
So, I would recommend to start with a fresh plist before deploying specific settings.


@m.entholzner thanks but there are only two plist adobe.acrobat,pdfviewer.plist and adobe.reader.DC.WebResource.plist



the content has nothing to do with javascript :(


The only location for that plist can be ~/Library/Preferences. The file in /Library/Preferences is only for feature lockdowns.
Have you tried this with a fresh user account?


@m.entholzner tried a fresh user, but still no luck about the plist file.


i don't think there is a plist for this option. haven't find it yet.


In the com.adobe.Reader.plist that is located in the Users/<User Profile>/Library/Preferences/ the uncheck of that "Enable Acrobat JavaScript" places a "0" in that file at:



<key>EnableJS</key>
<array>
<integer>0</integer>
<false/>
</array>



From there you can copy com.adobe.Reader.plist to the user location specified above. It works
