How to close PDF form in Browser

Question

Hi,
Does anyone knows if there are any way to close a PDF form that is opened in a browser (Internet Explorer 6)?
In my form, there is a button that is supposed to close the form when clicked, it is working if I launched the form in Reader but does not work in a browser.
The script that I used in the click event of the button is:
event.target.closeDoc();
Thank you.

Hi,
heres the code
1. Go to <Your Webdynpro project> - WebDynpro - Web Dynpro Components - <your component> - Windows right click and create a window (PdfWindow).
2. Place the view that contains pdfForm in the window PdfWindow.Create a button in the view say ClosePdf .
3. Create a context attribute say WindowInstance of type com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.window.Window (java native type) in the component controller.Map this attribute to the context of both views (view with button and Pdfview)
3. In the onAction of button
IWDWindowInfo windowInfo = (IWDWindowInfo) wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("PdfWindow");
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createWindow(windowInfo,true);
window.setWindowPosition(500, 500);
window.show();
wdContext.currentContextElement.setWindowInstance(window); // this iwll bw used to destroy the pop up
4. In Pdfview create a action closepopup and associate with button ClosePdf. In the action write
IWDWindow window = wdContext.currentContextElement.getWindowInstance();
window.destroy(); // this will close the popup.
Note:
you dont need wdContext.currentContextElement().setPdfVisible(WDVisibility.VISIBLE); as your pdfform is in different view.
