AcroRd32.exe background task ... Ira, << the more PDF files I access before shutting it down, the bigger the memory use of AcroRd32.exe. >> Yes. << if I access a PDF file from within Internet Explorer, the AcroRd32.exe program remains resident even if I completely shut down Internet Explorer. >> Interesting. When I posted before I was observing in Firefox. I just tried it with IE6 latest. Same action. If I close the Acrobat Reader, the AcroRd32.exe task immediately quits. What OS are you using and what version of IE? - Eric -

Adobe Reader Background Task I need to correct what I told you prior. I was checking the status of the background task by opening and closing the Reader, not with a PDF open in the browser. With a PDF open in the browser the task stays running in both IE and FireFox for me. There is an option in Adobe Reader (Edit \| Preferences \| Internet) that allows checking off "Display PDF in Browser" and if it's unchecked the PDF opens the reader and when the Reader is closed it cancels the task. From what I can determine the behavior you have noticed is by intent (to speed loading on a 2nd instance) and was present in v. 6.0.x. - Eric -
