Hi Laurie,

Yes you can, the trick is with the object referencing. What you want to
do is create a JavaScript variable (in example below this is
'targetDoc') to store the Doc object of the PDF document you're wanting
to open in, then use the this.closeDoc() to close the current PDF.
Here's some code, hopefully you can follow...

--------------------

// the PDF you want to open
var targetDoc = app.openDoc("/c/temp/targetpdf.pdf");

// now close the current PDF that is open
this.closeDoc();

--------------------

You would just put that JavaScript under the Mouse Up event of whatever
annotation (link, form field, etc) you're getting the user to click.

- Chris.
