The following snippets in my tex-site.el are from some posting of
Jesper Harder that I found with google:

,----
| 
| ;;; von Jesper Harder:
| (defun acrobat-close-all-docs ()
|   "Close all open documents in Acrobat."
|   (save-excursion
|     (set-buffer (get-buffer-create " *ddeclient*"))
|     (erase-buffer)
|     (insert "[CloseAllDocs()]")
|     (call-process-region (point-min) (point-max)
|  "ddeclient" t t nil "acroview" "control")
|     (if (= 0 (string-to-int (buffer-string))) t nil)))
| 
| (defun TeX-run-pdfLaTeX (name command file)
|   "Create a process for NAME using COMMAND to format FILE with pdfLaTeX."
|   (acrobat-close-all-docs)
|   (TeX-run-LaTeX name command file))
| 
`----

In TeX-command-list add this entry:

,----
| (list "pdfLaTeX" "pdflatex '\\nonstopmode\\input{%t}'"
| 	      'TeX-run-pdfLaTeX nil t)
`----
