Actually, my experience is continued battery drain when powered OFF and there is running instance of Adobe Reader with opened document.

One possibility is that when the midnight calendar update occurs, an open instance of reader may keep the unit powered on.

On windows mobile devices, the power button is a "suspend" button and applications remain open, and while normally inactive, some programs continue to run and make power demands on the ppc.

It's been pretty obvious over the years that Adobe does not care about nor will invest any resources in the ppc reader to address any user issues.
