      1. Open Acrobat or Adobe Reader. 2. Select File > Exit.




You don't have to wait the 5 to 7 minutes. But if you like Solution 2, then create a dekstop shortcut to a small pdf file that is (for example) in your My Documents folder, or any folder.

When you are ready to logoff or shutdown, then close Internet Explorer, double click on your shortcut to open the pdf file, then close Adobe Reader. Now you can logoff/shutdown without the error.

Anyone know if Adobe has an actual fix for this problem? So that Adobe Reader will close gracefully, if open, at logoff or shutdown time?
