There should be lots of ways to close it. You say it has a title bar --
in which case it must have a close button on the far right of the title
bar. Doesn't that work? In my version of Adobe Acrobat Reader clicking
anywhere in the About dialog closes the window. As a last resort opening
a terminal and issuing the command "killall acroread" ought to do the
trick.
