I want to create a javascript in acrobat to automatically close a document only when password security is on

Ah, I see... You are aware there are many ways to get around such "protection", right?

You can use this code to do it:

if (this.securityHandler!=null) {

var toObj = app.setTimeOut("this.closeDoc(true);", 300000);

}

Note: I didn't test this code. It's possible it will not work correctly. For example, if the user switches to another file during these 5 minutes, I believe the code will try to close that file... There might be ways around that, but it's getting more tricky.

Do you mean a script that's embedded in the file that automatically closes it if that file is secured?If so, you can try this code:if (this.securityHandler!=null) this.closeDoc(true);
