I am implementing one feauters which is performed when the pdf is closed. But it should only happen if the document has all its changes saved. Suppose if the user closes the pdf without saving the changes, the feauters will not trigger.

So I am looking for a way to see if the pdf is saved or not? I found one method PDDocIsModified. But it is not working

    I guess that you should use the dirty property of the document, see:
