why would one have problems closing acrodist.exe process.

[Joe]

in my Class1 Form:

Dim objPDFDistiller = CreateObject("PdfDistiller.PdfDistiller.1")


in my Form1_FormClosed (main form that I am closing)


System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(objPDFDistiller)
objPDFDistiller = Nothing


Form1_FormClosed is closing any other instances like Word, release
ODBC, etc, but I have no idea how to kill acrodist.exe

Any ideas?

I thought you had to call the Quit method to really close Word, Excel etc...
I would see if there is a Quit method in the object model and would call
this method before releasing the object...

unfortunately, there is no way to "Quit" acrodist.exe object inside
visual basic...
