Creating a close-all-docs menu item

Thom ParkerAug 23, 2011

Some software applications include an option for closing all currently open documents. This is a way of cleaning off the slate, so to speak. It is a common feature in creative applications, such as Adobe Photoshop, where the user typically works with many files at once. There are times when Acrobat is used in this way, but Acrobat does not have such an option. Not to worry. In this tutorial, we’ll walk through the process of creating a “Close-all” menu item. Even if you don’t have an immediate need for it, you’ll find the information useful and instructive for many other types of automation activities in Acrobat.

But there is one glimmer of hope: Acrobat JavaScript does have a function for executing the Acrobat menu items. While not perfect, this function allows the scripter to provide shortcuts to the user and automate some functionality not available in the JavaScript DOM.

Each time a different assembly is selected, the list of parts needs to be changed to reflect the correct assembly parts for that selection.
