Hi, Google for acrobat reader file locking and you'd notice that this unnecessary locking is inherent issue of Windows. You're dealing with behavior largely inherited from the MS DOS era. You can pick other pdf reader. Or publish to a web server and open the file using web browser -it's lockless.

Re: [libreoffice-users] PDF export checking whether the file is locked (opened) by another program before starting exporting over it

As I understand it, the OP isn't complaining about the fact that the file is locked, rather, about the fact that LO spends (potentially a lot of) time processing the file before reporting the problem. Instead, LO could check access to the file early, and report the problem before wasting time
