I've seen this more and more on my machines since version 10.1.3. Found a fix here:
..but the one registry value listed there is wrong (bDontShowMsgWhenViewingDoc should be set to "1"). I tested on a couple of machines with the issue and the moment these settings were in place, Adobe Reader behaved normally (with processes closing out completely instead of hanging and sometimes spiking the CPU).
For anyone else who has run into this issue and wants to deploy the fix using a K1000 script, here's the registry keys that need added:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\IPM]
"bShowMsgAtLaunch"=dword:00000000
"bDontShowMsgWhenViewingDoc"=dword:00000001
And my script settings:
Hope that helps!

Another way through the closing process of loading system. There is then no need for any changes to the registry, parameters or settings Acrobat Reader. Batch script prepared by default closes Acrord32.exe process and to this end has been designed, but the script can be used to close as any other process too burdensome system, which was suspended when the script calls to the appropriate parameter. If this parameter contains a long name with a space, you must enclose the parameter in quotation marks. Inside the script, to the beginning of the several parameters can be determined, for example. Time of suspension, the time of re-checking, or where the report is to be created (LOG). The script closes all processes meet the criteria for any user, of course, not the system that can not be closed. Can be useful on the server, the work of many users. The script is optimized in order to minimize itself burdened processor.
Save the following text as a file Batch (extension .BAT) with any filename that You want.
