How to stop exported PDF previews with JS

[arekh2792424]

Hello world,

     I am trying to find a way to stop acrobat from popping up when I export a PDF. I work for a company and am creating a tool that (among a multitude of other things) exports each document as a PDF to a network folder for reference and archiving but they dont want the end user to know this is occuring. Is there a way to disable the previews so that PDFs can be discretely exported?

They pop up because the option to automatically open them is set in the export preset.

Just set the export preference 'viewPDF' to false before exporting: Adobe InDesign CS5.5 (7.5) Object Model JS: PDFExportPreference
