The below three modules work so well for pasting all the data from a PDF into Excel however, it doesn't close the PDF afterwards so I can go into another PDF in a loop. Based on the code below can somebody please show me how to close the PDF? Thanks so much friends

Code:
Sub StartAdobe() 
Dim AdobeApp As String
Dim AdobeFile As String
Dim StartAdobe
 
AdobeApp = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"
AdobeFile = "C:\Users\jjoseph\Desktop\ExclaimerInvoiceTEST.pdf"
 
StartAdobe = Shell("" & AdobeApp & " " & AdobeFile & "", 1)
 
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:05"), "FirstStep"
 
End Sub

Code:
Private Sub FirstStep()


SendKeys ("^a")
SendKeys ("^c")
 
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:10"), "SecondStep"
 
End Sub

Code:
Private Sub SecondStep()


SendKeys ("%fx")


AppActivate Application.Caption
 
Range("A1").Activate
SendKeys ("^v")


End Sub

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
