Guest kandinsky63 Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 Why does an open pdf doc prevent automatic shutdown of windows? I have to manually close the pdf doc before full shutdown can complete. Any reason for this behaviour?/ Thanks
Guest Doug W. Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Re: Adobe PDF and Windows shutdown You should close all open docs of any kind before shutdown.

It is also true that other applications may cause this "halt" also. However, there does not seem to be a complete list. You will only find out at the shutdown times.
