CoreFTP will not close sessions of Adobe Reader

When I open a PDF document through CoreFTP it starts a session of Adobe Reader. No problem in that. But CoreFTP will not shut down the session again. This means that after a while opening and closing PDF documents the PC memory is stocked with Adobe Reader sessions (AcroRd32.exe). At the end the computer crashes or is working [u]VERY[/u] slowly.
I use Adobe Reader 10 and CoreFTP 2.2 build 1751.
Build 1729 had the same issue.

Opening PDF from other programs is working just fine.
Any ideas?

Best regards Alan

I try to explain in other words: CoreFTP needs Adobe Reader to show PDFdocuments. When I open a document a session of Reader starts in the background (memory). This is normal behavior. But when closing the document the Reader session in the background will not close. So when opening and closing PDFdocuments, what I do alot, it all ends up with the memory full of Reader sessions resulting in a very slow working computer. The only cure is restarting computer or closing every session of Reader manually via Task Manager.

Try: View -> Options -> Extensions -> File Associations

extension: .pdf
executable: PathtoAdobeReader\AcroRd32.exe /n

This may require you to restart the application to see the changes.

This should start a new process for each pdf and might resolve the issue.
