Shutting down Acrobat Reader.

Shutting down Acrobat Reader.

[John Culleton]

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?

I wonder if there is a high level command for it (\setupinteraction...)

\setupinteractionscreen
  [option=max]

should work.

I was looking at it for a few times this afternoon. But I wonder why
I didn't think of this solution? Thanks.

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.

You can try   

\but [ExitViewer] exit     

instead of 

\but[CloseDocument] exit

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.

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" :)

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.

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.
