Have a standalone application. It creates .pdfs of student reports. All works good on a Mac. On my Windows computer I get this message when trying to launch the pdf both from INSIDE my standalone and as a document file from the desktop.
The message reads (From Adobe Acrobat): "There was an error opening the document. This file is already open or in use by another application."
Thank you all in advance.

Re: Error launching a pdf after creation
This works here without any problem on Mac/Win/linux
Of course Adobe Acrobat/Reader doesn't refresh an already open document.
So you have to close it first.
Code: Select all
launch document "/path/to/file.pdf" -- use full filePath
So you have to close it first.
