Scripting for PDF

Question

Hi,
I am trying to create a basic JS script for an Acrobat X Pro created PDF, to have it on opening check the launching URL, and if not a specific, hard-coded URL in the script, to navigate to a URL redirect page (or alternatively, to close the PDF).
So, far, haven't been able to get it to work. I think that I am following the guidelines, but I must be doing something wrong. 
I used the JS editor to add a simple, document level script:
if (doc.Url != "xyz.com")
doc.closeDoc();
//OR, the one I used in the test PDF (see link below)
if (doc.Url != "xyz.com")
this.getURL(www.xyz/redirect.html);
Saved and re-opened the PDF, and nothing happens...
My test PDF with scripting in the JavaScript editor is at:
www.elearningprojects.com/abc.pdf
Can't get this to work, so far.
Any help appreciated.
Regards,

Hi,
I'm new to scripting in Acrobat. Thank you for suggesting the debugger.
It appears that getURL is not permitted by the security feature. I tried app.launchURL which works, but even if I follow it with closeDoc, the PDF stays open after the redirect.
The only script that works is closeDoc. I'm using a condition if...to check if the URL != to a scripted URL. Even if the URL is correct (checks out), if I add an app.alert before closeDoc ("unauthorized to view the PDF"), the alert still displays (when it shouldn't).
So far, a bit of a mess.
It seems that a single script action in a conditional (for example, closeDoc), executes OK, but add a second action within the same conditional and it doesn't work as it should.
I have been removing the function {} part, just adding the plain script: if... and  1 or 2 actions. I'm not sure how to set up an initial/opening event to trigger a function.
I wonder if removing this function aspect causes second actions to fail to work properly?
Any suggestions appreciated.
