If the pdf is launched in the IE browser, it does not lock the file.

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.

Hi Fellow FOPers,
I've run into a problem when generating pdf's with FOP. When the target
pdf
file is already open in Acrobat, or any other application for that
matter,
FOP cannot regenerate the pdf file. I see the following message in the
FOP
console window (running fop.bat):
java.io.FileNotFoundException: output\histphys.pdf (The process cannot
access the file because it is being used by another process)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.open(Native Method)
...
Does anybody know of a way to get FOP and Java to rewrite the file even
though it's open in another app? Thanks, -Vincent
