Closing external files

[Slobey]

Hi everyone,

I have a solution where on startup, it opens a PDF read me file and places it in the background using the send event script step. (This speeds up the "Help" button I have created). The problem I have is when the solution is closed, I want to close the PDF, but I can't find a script step to do this. Is there one? Is ther another option? Thanks in advance.

I would think you would have to use another Send Event step, though I am not certain how one would tell Acrobat to close itself.

In windows you could use an external script language. Certainly you can close applications using AutoIt and I suspect, but do not know, that you could do the same with VBScript.
