 Continuing with my PDF document that contains an embedded Word document with the VBA code and which is launched automatically So I want to show you some of the things you can do in Adobe Acrobat to disable this So first of all you can of course disable JavaScript.

So the doc Document here is not launched and also if you go to attachments and You try to open a document you get the same warning. So you cannot launch it. You can save it So you can extract it and Save it to the desktop for example Here and now you can open it of course independently of Adobe Reader So that is that setting Let me enable that again So that I can just show you JavaScript in case you have not seen that so here in preferences JavaScript You have enabled acrobat JavaScript. So let's disable this and then just close it and Open it again Okay, and now you get this warning here on top that So the document contains JavaScript and it was disabled, but the user has the option to Enable it for this document once or for this document always and when the user does this Then the script executes like it used to be
