background task stuck - LOCKED

[pritcharddesign]

I'm making a .pdf from aCS5 InDesign file, but it never finishes. When I try to close the document, I get a message that says "InDesign cannot close the document because it is in use by one or more background tasks. This message will close automatically when all the required tasks have been completed. You can click cancel to return to InDesign. You can open the Background Tasks Panel to cancel the tasks manually."

The message never closes and I'm not able to cancel the background task. Is there a fix for this? Or can I turn off the .pdf running in the background? I didn't see it in preferences.

Thank you!

for win 10. while it is open, "save as" your indesign document under a different name, for exp: change a letter or add a letter at the end.

Now in the win search menu lower left of screen, type "task manager." you will find in design name and icon among other apps. select in design and click "end task" lower right.

Open the "saved as" file you created. check that everything is good and the links are all there.

close it

delete the older file with the bug from your folder

you should be ok.
