Yes - it's probably a problem with Acrobat; being able to also display the plot.pdf file in my browser is a red herring. Process monitor shows AcroRd32.exe being launched by jconsole but the display window does not appear anywhere I can see. Pointing to the plot.pdf file in my browser also lets me see it but Acrobat having a hold on it prevents me from displaying a new plot which is why I have to kill the non-displaying Acrobat reader in order to see a new plot.
