Adobe Distiller Error 183 Cannot create a file when that file already exists

[clydefrog]

Hello! 

I have an issue where I have a reoccurring error (noted in the subject line). I have gone through and double-double checked  all of the permissions for user access to the Temp folder and that isn't the problem. I reinstalled Adobe Acrobat and am still getting the error. 

I have a feeling that it has something to do with the pathway for which temp files are being stored, but I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas before I start messing with my Temp folders. 

Thanks in advance!

Hi there

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described you are getting the error 183 'Cannot create a file when that file already exist'

Please make sure that Windows path \windows\temp has allowed “Users” group or particular user is Full Control.

Also, try to repair the installation form the help menu. Go to Help > Repair Installation and reboot the computer once.

Hope it will help

Regards

Amal

I feel like asking users to lower the security on their OS to prevent this annoying error is not ideal.
You should be saving this sort of thing in APPDATA.
