when [Enable Protected Mode at startup] turn off
We have code using AppExit() method to exit Adobe Reader DC 2020 after printing using DDE.
Now with Adobe Reader DC 2021, the same AppExit() method does not exit , Adobe Reader DC 2021 application is still opened.

how should we exit the application using DDE? Much appreciated!

It can take a very long time for a bug to be fixed, and Adobe will count votes on your bug report. So I suggest you look for alternative ways to close an app in the mean time.

Totally Agree with above, I would look for an alternative, perhaps with some kind of check around it.

Something like

AppExit()

// Check if App still running.

// Run alternative exit strategy

That way if the bug does get fixed you can use it, but until then you have code to cope.

Thank you very much.

I will implement it to send a close as follows.

if(WaitForSingleObject(pinfo.hProcess, 1000) == WAIT_TIMEOUT) {
  hWnd = GetWinHandle(pinfo.dwProcessId, pinfo.dwThreadId);
  ::PostMessage(hWnd, WM_CLOSE, 0, 0);
}

Hi ,

That sounds like a bug, I would go here and check if it is already raised, if not raise it - https://www.adobe.com/products/wishform.html
