Hi @UshaJyothi20

There is no native action to close the opened PDF

You can use Send Keys Action and pass Alt + F4 to close entire Acrobat window

Or else you can pass Ctrl+W where it will close only the file window but the Acrobat window remains same but it will open the Next File

According to you requirement you can pass on of those

If those not works then use Terminate Process to kill the Acrobat Reader, but suggest to try above

In addition to what @Srini007 said, you can use the Close window action to close the application. You can capture the window as a selector, or use the title and classs to close it. Just make sure you modify the title, because it will usually contain the name of the document.
