Hi Althaf,

JavaScript in your PDF can’t be used to control the browser window, only the
PDF viewer. Plus it won’t work in browsers which ship with their own PDF
viewers which don’t support JavaScript in PDFs, such as Chrome and Firefox.

Because you’ve opened the new window using JavaScript in the browser, you
should also be able to close it, perhaps calling window.close() after some
quantity of time has passed would work? I imagine that the closing of the
window will be blocked while the print dialog is displayed.
