hi Experts,

i have a problem:
I get from archiv a pdf Document and I want to print it. That work all correct.
But after print out the report wait if the user close the acrobat reader.
I seek an order or option, so the acrobat reader will close automatically after printing the actueal pdf document, so the report can load and print the next document.
Does someone know a good solution?

Thank You
Axel

You can add a Document Action JavaScript using Acrobat 8 Pro. Choose Advanced > Document Processing > Set Document Actions. From the list choose Document Did Print. Click the Edit button and add the following script:this.closeDoc();

Thank you for your answer.
But I don't understand where i have to implemented the javascript.
I start the acrobat reader from a SAP System and I can give command only with the command line.

Best regards
