JS: How to close Adobe reader/Acrobat?

Question

How to close a PDF file in Adobe reader/Acrobat using JS in Design?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Here is an example:
#target indesign
var acroScript = 'var d = app.activeDocs;\r';
acroScript += 'for ( var i in d ) d[i].closeDoc( true );';
var bt = new BridgeTalk;
bt.target = "acrobat";
bt.body = acroScript;
bt.send();
It closes all open documents in Acrobat without saving. However it  works only on PC and only in certain versions of InDesign and Acrobat. (I tested it at work, in InDesign CS3 and Acrobat 8 Pro, on Windows XP)
But at home computer I have Acrobat X version 10.1.1 and bridgetalk doesn't "see" it.
Note that closeDoc method has an optional parameter -- bNoSave -- whether to close the document without saving. If false (the default), the user is prompted to save the document if it has been modified. If true, the document is closed without prompting the user and without saving, even if the document has been modified.
Hope this helps.
