In a batch process, is there a way to close only a document in Acrobat Reader DC?

In a batch process, on Windows 10, I'm using this command:

taskkill /IM AcroRd32.exe & exit /b 0

to close Acrobat Reader DC.

It works perfectly for my needs, but sometimes I want to close only one of the documents open in Acrobat Reader at the moment of the run, not all (as it happens now, obviously, closing Acrobat).

Is there a way to do it?

Suppose I have opened in Acrobat three files: A, B, and C. (I have the Italian version):

enter image description here

Document C is the one I'm reading.

If I launch:

tasklist /v /FI "IMAGENAME eq Acro*"

I got:

Nome immagine                  PID Nome sessione    Sessione n. Utilizzo mem Stato           Nome utente
                               Tempo CPU Titolo finestra

I see only C.pdf, how can I close only A.pdf or B.pdf?

You can do this with the /FI argument to taskkill, e.g.,

  taskkill.exe /FI "WINDOWTITLE eq article.pdf"
