Description

I downloaded docdownload.zip and unzipped all of the files in a folder called **_...\Acrobat SDK Documents_** on a Windows 10 system.
Many if not most of the internal and external links in **_acrobatsdk_jsdevguide.pdf_** seem to be broken and non-operational.
Examples in **_acrobatsdk_jsdevguide.pdf_** :
Page 12, **link = _JavaScript for Acrobat API Reference._**, the destination is **_...\AcroJS\JS_API_AcroJSPreface.pdf_**
The file **_JS_API_AcroJSPreface.pdf__** doesn't exist in the zip file so there's no way to link to it.
Page 27. **_link = “Accessing scripts in theScripts window” on page 30._**
Destination label = **_G5.1516491_** does not exist, so the link is non-operational.

I did a cursory check of **_acrobatsdk_jsapiref.pdf_**, and the internal links seem to work in that document

Research direction

Start by inspecting docdownload.zip and the links in acrobatsdk_jsdevguide.pdf, especially pages 12 and 27, and compare their destinations with the files and labels present in the extracted Acrobat SDK Documents folder. Check acrobatsdk_jsapiref.pdf as a comparison document. Done means the reported internal and external links resolve to existing files or valid destinations.
