Run your command from a JDialog and after running it, use toBack().

final JDialog dlg = new javax.swing.JDialog(null, "test", JDialog.ModalityType.DOCUMENT_MODAL);
dlg.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
JButton button = new JButton("Select Me");
button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
    @Override
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        try {
            java.awt.Desktop.getDesktop().open(
                    new java.io.File("/home/user/Downloads/jfreechart-1.0.13-US.pdf"));
            dlg.toBack();
        } catch (IOException e1) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e1);
        }
    }
});
