Close adobe reader by javascript

Question

Hi all,
My web-page have a menu item, when user click the menu item, it open a pdf document in adobe reader  (because I code the menu to submit to asp page, this asp page return a pdf document inline).
After user fill some info in the form, click submit, the form will be closed (because I put javascript to button, to close the form after submit).
The issue is: after document close, Adobe is still there. I want Adobe application is also closed, or minimized, but I cannot.
This is my code in submit button on pdf document:
in mouse-up of button, I put actions:   - submit the form
                                                       - Run a JavaScript:
this.closeDoc(true);
app.execMenuItem("MinimizeAll");
it doesn't work, after document closed, Adobe reader is not minimized at all.
I changed to this
this.closeDoc(true);
app.execMenuItem("Exit")
                                                       But It doesn't work too?
Any help would be very very very appreciated. Thank you so much.

Answer 1

app.execMenuItem("MinimizeAll") seems to work from the console, but not
from a button, so assuming you can't install a script on the local machine
of the users, I would say that no, you can't do it.
