Shutting down Acrobat Reader.
I am creating an e-book following the example program d-en-all.tex as found on the Context site. I have a question about the "exit" button. This button shuts down the current document but leaves Acrobat Reader still up and running. If the user is in full screen mode he has to do an <alt><esc> to get back to normal mode (from fullscreen) and then exit the Acrobat Reader using a menu. I am looking for a technique that would exit everythig when the user pushes the "exit" button. Here are some pertinent snippets from my file: --------------------------------- \setupinteractionmenu [right] [background=color, backgroundcolor=LightGray, frame=off, state=start] \startinteractionmenu[right] \but [content] contents \\ \but [NextPage] next \\ \but [PreviousPage] previous \\ \but [sample] sample \\ \but [PreviousJump] back \\ \but [CloseDocument] exit \\ \vfill \stopinteractionmenu ---------------------------------- And another question: Some of the pdf examples on the Context site automatically open in full screen mode. How is this accomplished? -- John Culleton Able Typesetters and Indexers http://wexfordpress.com
Hello John,
And another question:
Some of the pdf examples on the Context site automatically open in full screen mode. How is this accomplished?
\doPDFaddtocatalog{/PageMode\space/FullScreen} I wonder if there is a high level command for it (\setupinteraction...) Patrick -- You are your own rainbow!

\setupinteractionscreen [option=max]
should work.
Yes it does, and when I hit the "exit" button the pdf file is erased and Acrobat Reader goes back into its normal mode. I still would like the "exit" button to kill both the pdf file and the Acrobat Reader. Is that possible? BTW thanks to Wang for his elegant and simple answer. Now I am half way home. -- John Culleton Able Typesetters and Indexers http://wexfordpress.com

You can try \but [ExitViewer] exit instead of \but[CloseDocument] exit Wang

That works just fine! Thanks for your hint. There is an anomaly if I call Acrobat Reader from within Gvim session but if I just call Acrobat reader from a button or a command line everything works perfectly. -- John Culleton Able Typesetters and Indexers http://wexfordpress.com
Hi,
Thanks for your hint. There is an anomaly if I call Acrobat Reader from within Gvim session but if I just call Acrobat reader from a button or a command line everything works perfectly.
what version of the Acrobat Reader are you using and what OS? I can't make it work here. Perhaps the MacOS X Acroread does not support this. "Don't you dare to quit Acrobat Reader" :) Patrick -- You are your own rainbow!

Just FYI the anomaly is that the full screen window is offset down and to the right, and with no title bar to latch on to it is hard to move the window back to where it belongs.

Well, it works on the same pdf file in two locations: on Linux using Acrobat Reader 5.05, and on Win 98 SE using Acrobat Reader 5.1. I guess I will have to ask some kind soul who has a newer Windows to test the function for me on Acrobat Reader 6x. Any volunteers? Windows users are in the vast majority and hence the target market for the e-book I am crafting. (sidebar) I tried to download Acrobat Reader 6.0 to the Win 98SE partition, but then it said I needed to upgrade Internet Explorer and that got into an endless loop and.... (I don't use Windows much!) So I downloaded Acrobat Reader 5.1 for Windows 98 via Linux (!) and moved it over to the Desktop folder on the Win partition. It works fine.

On my WinXP [ExitViewer] works on the Acrobat Reader 5.x but not on 6.0. I can do further tests for you. I can test on NT4, 2K and XP.

There is a Download Option called "Do not use Adobe Download Manager." If checked, you download the full Windows Installer, not the one that needs the Internet Explorer.
So I downloaded Acrobat Reader 5.1 for Windows 98 via Linux (!) and moved it over to the Desktop folder on the Win partition. It works fine.

I tried the sample code in Acrobat Reader 6 version 6.0.0.19.05.2003 downloaded yesterday 28 october 2003. Acrobat Reader does not exit, only the document is closed. Willi
