Identify who has file open

Adobe should build into its software the capability of showing who has a pdf file open if you try to save it.  It current just gives you a message that you have to save it under a different name because the file is in use.  It would be great if it would identify who has it open.

No way I know of.

  • Can't delete a PDF on a network drive when someone has it open???

    I am trying to like PDFs and the benefit they provide, but someone please explain to me why a
    file that is meant to be a read-only file, cannot be deleted if someone has it open. Everyone
    has read-only access to this drive where the PDF resides, yet when someone opens it, I cannot delete the file. Why
    is this, and is there a workaround? Or at the very least, the ability to see WHO has it open? I am working with Excel files, and
    it seems much easier to leave it in Excel for this very reason. At least if someone tries to open it, it forces them to open it in read-only
    , allowing me the ability to replace that file, rename it, delete it, whatever. Seems like there has to be a fix. If I publish a PDF to a network drive, and realize there is a mistake, and 50 people have now opened it, are you telling me there is nothing I can do?! Doesn't make any sense. Please help!

    Read-only only means they can't save any changes.
    Excel probably creates a local copy of the file and allows the users on work
    on that, while the real file remains unlocked.
    Anyway, I'm not an Acrobat engineer so all of this is just guesswork.
    If you want, you can ask Adobe to change this behavior here:

  • RE: How to monitor who has what service objectconnection?

    We ran into this problem, specifically because we are using a dbsession
    connection pattern and the dba's did not like loosing control over
    connections. We have 8 subsystem, each with a dedicated connection that
    is shared across multiple users. We also have a security pattern in
    place that is token based. Since we have to pass a security token
    through service objects we can track this information using a
    "connection array" on the service object and a system agent to poll the
    contents of the array. When a sql statement is invoked on a
    persistence object we add the user to the array on the persistence
    manager (SO). When the sql is complete we remove the user from the
    array. Since the PO has a system agent we can ask the system agent at
    anytime, who has an open connection/session with the PO. Since system
    agents plug into econsole, the dba can go look any time.

    Date: Tuesday, September 24, 1996 9:12AM
    Here at Eli Lilly & Co., we have a customer that would like to know if
    anyone out there has successfully
    devised a method to be able to tell what user has what service object
    connection. Basically, if a customer
    calls the system administrator with a problem with the application, the
    system administrator would like to
    be able to kill certain processes. Right now, the database connections
    running on the server all look the same.
    Some ideas were generated internally, one referring to setting up agents
    but we'd like to see if anyone
    has had success in doing this already that we could use as a contact.

    Hello Peggy,
    I suggest that you make contact with Paolo Sidoli at DS Data (Italy). They
    have written a very nice package called DORE that includes trouble shooting
    utilities, that allow you to monitor what a remote user is doing (you can
    actually see their screen!).
    You can contact Paolo at [email protected]

  • How to determine who has a PDF file open?

    I generate a daily report in PDF format and place the file on a shared server.  The problem arises when I attempt to delete the file (in order to replace with the new version) and someone has the file open.  I end up with two versions of file on she share drive.  The only way to determine which is the current file is due to the date I place at the end of the file name.
    Is there a way to determine who has the file open?  This would eliminate confusion amongst my peers.
    Thank you.

    This is not a feature of Acrobat. You may be able to look at the server logs.

    Hi Memalyn
    Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
    My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
    If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
    Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
    Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

  • Can't open a project who has a merged clip in it

    I have 2 Macs using Premiere Pro CC, same version. On one of my 2 Mac, i can't open any project who has merged clips in it. It shows this error message. : "this project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with thi sequence type". It shows this even if there is no sequence in the project. It happens only if i have a merged clip. it could even be a merged audio clip. What can i do?

    Hello Spadrille,
    It sounds like your application is not activated. Try this: Open a new project in Premiere Pro. Choose Help > Decativate > Restart Premiere Pro. Then choose Help > Activate. See if that solves your problem.
    Thanks,

  • Why has the opening of a Pagemaker file into InDesign CC been removed?

    We receive many publications that have been produced by Pagemaker. We open and convert to InDesign for our publishing input.  InDesign CC has removed this feature which now means we will have to always keep InDesign 6 installed on our system.

    Don't expect an official Adobe "answer" to this question. This is my opinion.
    Anyone who has observed the graphic arts field the last decade or so has seen this coming. According to Wikipedia, "The last major release of PageMaker was 7.0 in 2001, after which the product was seen as "languishing on life support". Adobe ceased all development of PageMaker in 2004 and "strongly encouraged" users to migrate to InDesign, initially via special "InDesign PageMaker Edition" and "PageMaker Plug-in" versions that added PageMaker's data merge, bullet and numbering features to InDesign, and provided PageMaker-oriented help topics, complimentary Myriad Pro fonts and templates. From 2005 these features were bundled into InDesign CS2, which was offered at half-price to existing PageMaker customers."
    With the arrival of InDesign CC, the entire application has to be re-written for 64 bit and, on the Mac, using a different set of system calls. The number of people who still use Pagemaker are minuscule, and it wasn't worth it to port the feature over. Since InDesign CS6 still supports importing Pagemaker files there is a route for the tiny number of people who need to feature.
    I'm pretty sure that this will not change in the future so you should get used to it.

  • Trying to send file to someone who has cs3 but error occurs

    Hi I have illustrator cs5 and I am trying to send a file to someone who has cs3, I saved it in a cs3 format but when they try to open it an error occurs saying, "could not find The linked file, choose repair to locate the missing file, replace to open another file, or ignore to leave file unchanged". Please help thank you.

    This  means that Illustrator cannot find the related files (external resources that you have used for the project, like photos etc...), because the path is changed.
    Do you have to pass to your customers not only the illustrator file but also all the files used in that project. Then they have to choose the "repair" option and relink all the missed resources ( simply they have to go to the folders on their hard drive where these files are located and then relink them).
    I hope this help

  • Excel file that always shows a certain user has it open.

    I have an excel file on a shared drive that always gives the same name in the 'Locked by ' dialogue regardless of who actually has it open or who is trying to open it.
    example: when BillyBob has the file open excel says BillyBob has it open.  When I have the file open the file says BillyBob has it open, and whenever any of my coworkers have the file open it says BillyBob has the file open.
    It's only this file that does that. All of the other files in the same shared folder function as normal.

    Hi Rod,
    This is known issue of Excel, please read the Gil Raviv's link first and try the method that provided in that thread.
    Then, we also see the public blog on file locking issues, it gives more suggestions that we could try.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/the_microsoft_excel_support_team_blog/archive/2012/05/14/the-definitive-locked-file-post.aspx
    On the other hand, this issue occur with the special file, the other factor is the temporary files locked on the shared drive. It prevent users from opening/editing the Excel file. Please try to delete the temporary files (They are usually hidden
    file and named ~$filename.xlsx)
    Hope it's helpful.

  • Cannot delete in a file after it has been open 20 minutes

    After I have a file open for about 20 minutes Delete stops working.  When I hit the key, illustrator appears to lock up for abou 30 seconds, but the feature doesn't delete.  I have to keep closing and reopening the file.  The file is only about 3.5MB in size.  Any ideas on how to improve this?

    Yes, I was thinking of PS and AE at the time of writing this. However, AI has an option for setting this as well. If you open up the AIPrefs file in your user home directory (e.g. on Vista 64bit C:\Users\Mylenium\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings\en_US), there is a pair of lines reading
    /maxUndoDepth 200
    /undoDepth 5
    By editing the maxUndoDepth value, it may be possible to get a more memory friendly behavior on some systems.
