If the pdf is launched in the IE browser, it does not lock the file. - Original Message - From: "Jeremias Maerki" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 27, 2002 9:25 AM Subject: Re: Writing to a file already open in another application > You can't because Acrobat has an exclusive lock on the file.

RE: Writing to a file already open in another application
Is Acrobat OLE-Automatable? My controlling application is an MFC app, so I could easily establish an OLE connection to Acrobat if that's possible.

Re: Writing to a file already open in another application
You can't because Acrobat has an exclusive lock on the file. There's no way to release that lock other than to tell Acrobat to close the file either by closing the window with the mouse or by closing the file over OLE automation (not an easy task in Java). By the way, GhostScript doesn't lock the file when viewing it. It even reloads the file automatically when it's regenerated.
