Your question would likely get a better answer if you posted it
to the Carbon mailing list, but I'll try anyway, by asking you
more questions in turn.  :)

What are you installing your kEventClassCommand event handlers on?
Do your handlers ever get called?  If so, what status code are you
returning from your handlers?

If your handlers aren't getting called at all, I guess Acrobat
may be stacking its own handlers on top of yours, on either the
application target or a window target, and intercepting 'clos'
and 'save'.  If that's the case, you could try installing your
handlers directly on the menu event target.

Just my two eurocents,

ecosystem. They want to clear cut it. They want to go into the
rainforest of human thought and mow the thing down.
