Problem with app.activeDocs

Javascript Problems

Problem with app.activeDocs

by  Murgle  Posted    (Edited  )
The following is an extract from the readme file provided with Acrobat 5.05.

JavaScript Updates in Acrobat 5.0.5
-A new boolean property, "disclosed" is available for the Doc object, and its default value is "false",
-Even if the API call app.openDoc is successful opening the requested document, it returns value "false" to the caller unless the opened document sets Doc.disclosed to "true" as part of a Doc-level script. If Doc.disclosed is "true", Doc.openDoc returns the Doc Object of the document opened by this method,
-app.activeDocs only includes in the returned array the Doc Object for each active document open in the Viewer that has set Doc.disclosed to "true" at the time of app.activeDocs invocation.[463695].

To cut a long story short, put -

Code: 
this.disclosed=true;

as a document javascript to sort it out.
