Shell Command to Close Acrobat

[Alan Z. Scharf]

Hi,

Is there a shell command syntax in VBA that will close all open instances of
Adobe Acrobat?

I have a routine which prints reports to PDF.

Users then generally open the PDF's to check them.

If they then go to reprint the reports to PDF, and users haven't closed the
PDF's, then they get the message that PDF's are open and have to be closed
first.

I'd like to have a comand at the top of my printing routine that closes all
open instances of Acrobat.

Thanks.

Alan

Take a look at pskill (SysInternals). Afaik it takes process names as
argument.
