I'd like the document to close after a certain expiration date. So, I
use the following JavaScript on the properties of the first page:

var d = new Date();
  var d1 = util.scand("mm/dd/yy", "1/1/05");
  if((d1.valueOf() - d.valueOf()) < 0){
     app.alert("Document expired! Please consult www.ozshy.com");
     document.close();
  }

The alert works fine (as 2005 as passed), but the document does NOT
close. Any suggestion how to modify this JavaScript so that the
document will close? (I use Standard Acrobat 6).

Doesn't seem much point as the user can turn off JavaScript in
preferences.

Indeed, you are correct. I simply don't have any better solution (in
addition to encryption and passwords).
Still, I think that it would work for those who are not aware of the
possibility of turning off the JavaScript.  Oz.

Thanks Reinhard, that's the command that I've been looking for. Oz
