Dear Community,

 

When one of oure clients tries to remove a pdf file, it gets an error its still in use by explore.

This happens when the file is still in use by the previewer.

 

Its on a windows 2016 server

Version 10.0.14393 Build 14393

 

Adobe continuous release 2023.006.20.380 64 bit

 

The client loves the previewer, but needs to be able to delete the file he is previewing...

Anny help would be appreciated.

This has nothing to do with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. The preview windows in the Explorer a builtin feature of the operating systems. To avoid the described problem, disable the preview or meke sure to select another file before deleting the one in question.
