Joerg... In the ADM file that I provided, the setting to disable JavaScript is "non-policy" setting. This means that his "preference" does nothing more than uncheck the Enable JavaScript checkbox. Adobe did not provide a policy setting to enforce (gray out) this JavaScript setting, at least that I know of.

So I agree that all that unchecking this checkbox does is to give the user a prompt before the JavaScript code runs. And the user has the ability to override this setting and turn JavaScript back on. The HELP section in the ADM file does state that if you disable the JavaScript settings that the user will be prompted if a PDF file that contains Javascript is opened by Adobe Reader. But at least now the user gets a security prompt. That's better than nothing.

On a side note, all older Adobe Reader and Acrobat clients (versions 6, 7, 8) also supported the same bEnableJS setting. It is easy to copy my ADM file and mass change all of the 9's to 8's in the copy of the ADM file and have a template that works for Adobe 8 products as well. And so on.
