Hi there,
I've been playing around with the code for adding a security policy to a pdf which works fine.
I've tried to take the script a few stages further so that the security policy is added, the pdf is saved, and then it is attached to an email however there's a slight niggle. The code executes ok and the email is generated with the password protected pdf. I'd also put in something that closes the pdf in Acrobat but instead of just closing the pdf it also quits Acrobat?
This is also the same for the version that just adds the security policy.
Please can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
Nick
EDIT - I've tried this.closeDoc(); instead of app.execMenuItem("Close"); and I still get the same result, Acrobat adds the security policy, closes the doc, but then Acrobat quits?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick

First, all three lines are outside the if/else statment. I think you probably want to have them inside, so that they are only run when there is not an error. You'll need to put them inside curly braces after the else.
Next, it was very clever to use menu items to run the functions you want, save, email, and close. However, in Acrobat JavaScript, menu item execution is non-blocking. The script engine simply passes off the menu item name to Acrobat and moves on. This is the equivelent of clicking these three menu items with the mouse really fast one right after the other. In fact, clicking them faster than is humanly possible. Especially since the email menu item displays the email client UI. So this is the source of the problem. Acrobat is choking and dying on performing conflicting operations all at once.
Instead, use the JavaScript commands for these operation.
this.saveAs(...)
this.mailDoc(...)
this.closeDoc(...)
