John,
If you don't want to use Alt/F4 to close the application, then a slight
modification as below finds the window handle and closes it under program
control.

Subject: RE: Setting Default Printer
Excellent!!!!
Unfortunately it generates another question :-( I seem to be going 2 steps
forward and 1 back with this project.
I can now set a printer to be the default and print a batch of PDF files on
that printer. If I then set another printer to be the default and try and
print a further batch without closing the Acrobat window which was opened by
the first batch they are printed to the first printer so obviously I need to
close Acrobat between printing batches. The solution appears to be to use
TerminateProcess however this needs the ProcessHandle which begs the
question - how do I find the process handle? I can't be certain whether the
user will have Acrobat Reader or the full version, nor can I be certain
which version as they may well upgrade in the fullness of time.
