Just another note to myself.
Using Kill
Noticed my CPU was using 3 out of the 4 cores at 100% and the fan was pretty noisy.
I initially thought it was Cinnamon but it wasn't.
I opened Terminal and used Top
Top
This listed the top three processes being used by FoxitReader. Earlier I had accidently tried to open a file with it that was not PDF.
Top showed me the process PID
So a quick ALT & F2 to open a console and kill followed by the PID shown next to each of the instances killed these processes and my CPU use dropped like a stone.
