Why does Adobe Reader stay open after I put a PDF file into my HotFolder?¶

After printing PDF files with Adobe Acrobat Reader (which is what PDFCreator does when you put a PDF into a HotFolder), the program window will not close anymore. This behavior can’t be influenced by the user. You can set an alternative application as your default application to open PDF files, i.e. Sumatra PDF to prevent this.
