I don't think so, but this is a nice idea. I'll try to add this
feature.

Yes, it's me. The only documentation available is :

D:\>pdfdde --help
Usage:
        pdfopen  --file <filename> [--page <page>]
                       Opens <filename> (at page <page> if available)
                             in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.
        pdfclose --file <filename>
                 Closes <filename> in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.
        pdfclose --all
                 Closes all documents in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.
        pdfdde
                       Read commands on stdin
Beware: only documents opened by `pdfopen' can be closed
        by `pdfclose'.

I can send you the source file if you want (sorry, I'm on holydays
with a very sparse Internet connexion).
