In my app, I am displaying PDF files to the user. I'm using the COM
component "Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Browser Document" component. This works
great. Just open up my form, then have it tall the PDF control to
..LoadFile(sFileName) -- it displays and is great.
However, after closing the form, even closing the app, there is still a
process running (viewable by Task Manger processes tab) called
AcroRd32.exe -- am I supposed to do something to clear out the process?
I've actually seen this on other computers that don't even HAVE my app
installed on it, and this causes problems like Outlook not opening,
another app that we use (third party) crashing at odd times, and maybe
some other problems. This is why I don't want our app being a
contributor to this problem.
Any ideas from anyone? Is there a way to find out the process ID of
the AcroRd32.exe instance that my app spawns? If there was, then I
could seek out and kill this particular process...but I don't want to
kill just any old AcroRd32.exe process, because the user may have
another PDF file open and not want that one closed yet!
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
