Hallo,

I need to start viewing a file by Acrobat Reader from inside
my program and close it when exiting my program.

Could you advice the best way to do it?

If I use ShellExecute() with .pdf  file name then I get
handle of started application but don't know how
to use this handle to close Acrobat.

If I use CreateProcess() then I must have command
line with full path to Acrobat's .exe . But I don't know
this (various versions have different .exe name and
the installation path may be different). May be there
is a way to find out full .exe associated with .pdf?

Thank you for any help,
Alexander
